I have seen the whole season and it was Fabulous. Daenery rising from the ashes with the dragons was absolutely great. Who knew the eggs would actually hatch.
I enjoyed both the theatrical and practical side of it. Drago had to die so she would be in place to go against Joeffrey. I mean, seriously that kid needs to die. I hate that Ned Stark died, but it may have been the Cataclismic moment to move everyone forward. I'm thinking (having not read the books) that the next season is about the war. Ari will end up at the wall and Snow will take care of her. The only one who's fate is really up in the air is Sasha. That chick being under the Crazy King Jeoffery there's no telling what will happen. Hmmm I can totally understand why Jon Snow had such a hard time with his vow. Family or Duty. I would have picked Family. In the end, blood is what matters, but I've never been in that position.
The entre season got a 9. A 10 if they would have Jon Snow take off his Shirt, &/OR NED stark lived. either way, fantastically done.
