Game of Thrones: The Winds of Winter (2016)
This season was on fire! ...Literally!
AHHH! Now this is what you call story progression! I can finally see the show moving towards the end now! So excited!
*Firstly, can we all get a standing ovation for Cersei--I mean QUEEN Cersei? *claps*. She literally destroyed everyone who stood before her! That wildfire sequence was amazing, starting from chasing the children till the aftermath! The whole thing kept me on the edge of my seat, and didn't disappoint! Although, it broke my heart to watch Margaery die because of those fools who wouldn't let her out! Other than that, it was just WOW! And poor Tommen Baratheon, you were just too naive for this world. May you rest in peace. However, Jaime doesn't look so happy about this. Can't wait to see how it goes down next season.
*What's more satisfying than watching the High Sparrow die? It's watching Walder Frey die. It makes it a whole lot more satisfying to watch Arya be the one to do it! If IMDb didn't have a barrier for prohibited words, this review would have been longer than this. Just saying. I can finally sleep in peace after 3 seasons from 'The Red Wedding'!
*I'm sure a lot of the viewers already knew that Jon was Lyanna and Rhaegar's son, making him both, a Stark (Ice) and a Targaryen (Fire), but for those who didn't, I can imagine your excitement! And finally something good for Jon! KING OF THE NORTH, YES! I felt bad for Melisandre, but at least she got to live. And as she puts it, her "Gods" still has purpose for her. We just have to wait now to see what it is. But if I were the Starks, I'd keep an eye out for Baelish. You never know what he's up to.
*And finally, you know things are about to get serious next season when you see the Queen of Dragons travel to Westeros AFTER 6 YEARS OF OUR LIVES! I can't wait for next season! OMG! And cheers for Tyrion! Hand of the Queen! YEAH!
Overall, this episode was really good! And undoubtedly, the best season finale yet! It's pretty rare to see Game Of Thrones give two back- to-back "makes you blow away" episodes (no pun intended)! There were rarely any irrelevant scenes, and you know an episode is good when you keep asking for more even when the episode is 70 minutes long (approx.)! A round of applause for the crew! I give this episode a full 10/10, regardless of Margaery's departure. *sniff* That's all for now! Until next season, people!
Valar Morghulis!
How I Met Your Mother: Last Forever: Part Two (2014)
Extremely disappointing.
*Barney & Robin getting divorced is basically a slap on each viewer's face. This makes the entire season 9 (also many parts of season 7 & season 8) seem pointless.
*What the hell just happened to Barney?! He knocked up a random woman (who didn't even appear in the episode) and ended up being the single father of a baby girl?! No love in his life?! I cannot believe that the creators gave this awesome character such a pathetic ending.
*And Ted ending up with Robin?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I actually thought that after meeting the Mother, he would finally let Robin go. But it turns out, the Mother was just a rebound to him. This got me devastated. The last 5 minutes basically destroyed the show. The title "How I Met Your Mother" doesn't make any sense now! He didn't tell his kids the story of their "Mother" because he missed her and wanted to remember the moments! The storytelling was an indirect way of letting them know how much he loved Robin. The Mother had no significant role in this story. She didn't even get her deathbed scene for crying out loud!
Overall, it was a really bad episode. And a HORRIBLE way to end a show. Very disappointed.
