Review:

What a season finale?!?!?! It’s one of the best I’ve seen.

First of all Dany enters the house of the undying ones, where she finds her dragons and burns Pyat Pree. And Who dosen’t like seeing a Warlock being burned? The House of the Undying Ones looked marvelous and enigmatic. The scene where she sees the court of Kings Landing destroyed and covered with snow was beautiful. Her scene was the best of er parts in this episode. The reunion with Khal Drogo and Rheagar was awesome. The best part of that scene was when Khal Drogo said “Maybe I told the Great Stallion to go f**k himself and come back here to wait for you”. This scene reminds us of how much Dany has changed since Drogo had died and How much she loved him. She also shows that she does not bear traitors and locks Xaro and Doreah in to the empt vault. And then they steal all the gold and jewels from Qarth.

Arya, Hot Pie and Gendry finally escape from Harrenhal and Jaquen H’gar gives her he old coin and tells her to give this coin to any Bravossi sailor and say the words ‘Valar Morghulis’. And then he suddenly changes his face! He says Jaquen is dead. That was also an awesome scene. Jamie and Brienne’s scene in this episode was unexpected but awesome. They encounter northmen and Brienne beats the crap out of them.

Theon (second most despicable d-bag), gets what he deserves, a whack on the head after his speech was over. Even after that he was humiliated. His 20 soldiers carry him off and one of them pokes a spear through Maester Luwin. Bran, Rickon, Hordor and Osha see the burnt Winterfell and escape.While escaping they see Maester Luwin, dying. This was an emotional scene and it was brought out well. He, tells Osha to show him mercy and kil him quickly.

Stannis and Melisandre hav a very intense scene where first he tries to kill her and then she shows him the pictures in the flames. Tyrion’s scene was also awesome. He has a discussion with Pod, Lord Varys and later Shae, where she removes his bandages and sees his scar. He also cries, this  was only the second scene where Tyrion shows that he really loves Shae. Sansa is now no longer Joffery’s would be wife. And Little Finger offer to take her out of King’s Landing for the sake of her mother.

Jon Snow is now no longer ‘crow’ but ‘The Man who killed Qhorin Halfhand’. Though, it was a short scene it was a good wrap up to the Jon story line. And lastly the Samwell scene , where they hear the 3 blasts and realize that the others (or White walkers) are coming. When I saw the White Walker, I was reminded of AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ as most of them looked like that. And the ZOMBIE HORSE!!!! With the leader of The White Walkers with that wrinkly face.. That scene was the most beautiful . The Leader, I think, showed mercy to Sam, when it saw him and ignored him.

‘Valar Morghulis’ is and awesome wrap up to all the story lines in this awesome season. Sadly I have to wait 10 months for the next season!

Final Verdict:

9/10.
