    A finale of despair and misery!

    It really strickes me how this finale had small moments of satisfaction, but mostly leaves me feeling miserable and a sense that everyone is struggling and unanswered questions! Does that mean it is bad? No absolutely not!

    This finale was very well made, and might be one of the most underrated and underapreciated episodes if the show! Yes it has some controversial moments and I do remember back when the episode aired,and the final shot was all over the internet! It was a bold cliffhanger to end the season on! .

    Other than that this is a rollercoaster of emotions, making you feel happy or excited in one moment and shortly after you are left feeling shocked and heartbroken!

    emotions

    Each episode of GoT is source of emotions. Different, in clashes, ambiguous, powerfull. But in this case , the emotions are , in a form, adaptations of Shakespeare tragedies, from the walk of Cersei to the fall of Jon Snow, to the defeat of Stannis or the justice of Brienne of Tarth or the death of Myrcella or the Dothraki captivity as return in the womb of the past . The way of Samwel to a new beginning is the basic source of hope. Because the film gives more than the shock of the last scene - example of high cinematography- but the pledge for the necessity of revenge as right use of justice. Basis for new serie, it is the key for acceptence and fury.

    Elation to Despair in one episode - thats Game of thrones

    If Elation was the word for Episode 9, its despair the word for Episode 10. Having already read the books prior, I was ready for what was to come. In spite of that, this episode was like a punch in my stomach. While many will talk about what happened at wall, I would look at the events at Dorne & Kings Landing. For the first time in 5 seasons, we had a episode that emotionally affected the Lannisters. They have been the hated characters of Game of Thrones - but am sure Episode 10 gave a different perspective to their characters. Lannisters - always pays their debt & the 2 events at Dorne & Kings Landing could have huge repercussions in next coming season.

    At the wall...its anyone's guess. Problem with guess work is it doesn't always work in Game of Thrones. All in all, a gripping season finale. Shame we have to wait for another 10 months to start all over...

    The stuff of legends

    Game of Thrones has given us several amazing scenes. This episode delivers not only one, but two legendary scenes. What a way to end the season!

    Most underrated episode of got!

    Well, this episode is in my opinion among the best ones, and absolutely the second best season ending (winds of winter is probably extremely hard, if not impossible to top)that we have had!

    This episode is very intense all the way through, and is extremely underrated! I see a lot of bad reviews for this episode and i cant seem to understand what the problem with this episode is! Its very intense, very entertaining, and has a insane ending, Which made it very hard to wait just three days (i got finished with got three days before season 6)!

    • Trivia
      HBO initially ran into difficulties shooting Cersei's walk of penance because Dubrovnik's Catholic Church of St. Nicholas, which stands in for the Great Sept of Baelor, refused to allow filming of nudity on their grounds. They relented for the nude walk through the streets of Dubrovnik as long as it would not cross onto holy ground, so the crew eventually built facades of the interior and exterior of the church for the scene.
    • Goofs
      When Theon kills Myranda and he and Sansa escape Winterfell, Sansa's gloves disappear in several shots only for them to appear again seconds later, although it is a fast-paced scene with no intervals.
