Oh the irony of this episode airing on Father's Day.

Pretty good final episode. There were a lot of deviations from the books, but most of them I didn't mind. The most surprising thing they left out was the final conversation between Tyrion and Jaime. I suppose they didn't want to overburden the scene, or they thought that it might have been too confusing.
Can't believe his ho started ****ing his dad and even used the same pet name.

Well, there you go. Another firing comment for me to go read them.

Pretty satisfying final.
I hope Sandor lives.
I hated the way the Tyrion jailbreak differed from the book. Part of what drives Tyrion in the later books was Jaime telling the truth about what happened to Tysha, and the anger that comes from it. They took that whole part of the character away.
The other changes...no big deal. But I would have like to have seen

I've decided to re-read them. How sick is that?
I have a series that I have read three times.
I have decided that I will re-read the first 2 books and continue. I think I was unjust with my assesment of the first 2 books due to my young age at the time. Just need to finish some books and I will probably catch up before the new season starts.

You've just decided that? Oh well…better late than never I suppose.
I've read the series twice now, I'll probably try to start again if he ever finishes the next book. I highly advise reading it multiple times, as you pick up on a lot of cool things and new theories/ideas.
Agreed. When I read them, I was trying to plow through them and definitely missed some stuff. I am taking my time on the re-read and already seeing some stuff that didn't really mean anything to me the first go-round. And Robert and the Lannisters just reached Winterfell!
It has been more about me finding excuses not to than not wanting to. Now I simply don't have any valid excuses anymore.

Yeah the jailbreak scene really lacked because of the omissions. I thought it was pretty weak overall. Shame as I really wanted to see how it played out on screen.
Fantastic last episode.
Those that are complaining about the differences between the show and the books don't seem to understand the limitations translating written page to screen time or rather how 1 page of script with action scenes translates to screen time.
I guess what I'm trying to say is shut the **** up all of you and enjoy a great show. If it bothers you that much, stop watching or stick to just reading the books.

Come on, Richard, please have some intellectual honesty with this. The complaint is that they took a major part of a character's driving force and wrote it out with a rushed scene. The other stuff that was changed...meh. The Tyrion scene did not do justice to the character. Not even close.
