About the Author - Lisa Macklem
I do interviews and write articles for the site in addition to reviewing a number of shows, including Supernatural, Arrow, Agents of Shield, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Forever, Defiance, Bitten, Glee, and a few others! Highlights of this past year include covering San Diego Comic Con as press and a set visit to Bitten. When I'm not writing about television shows, I'm often writing about entertainment and media law in my capacity as a legal scholar. I also work in theatre when the opportunity arises. I'm an avid runner and rider, currently training in dressage.
Without a doubt my favorite part was Mance's scene at the stake. We haven't seen much of him but it says something about the writing and acting that we feel for him. It also was one of Jon's best moments in the series.
ReplyDeleteI love Ciaran Hinds, so I was really, really sad to see him die - but I also didn't want to see him bend a knee...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Varys and Tyrion's scene where they were plotting to help Daenerys! My brain must've been drenched in anticipation at that point at the prospect of Daenerys and Tyrion teaming up.
ReplyDeleteProbably Tyrion coming out of the crate.

Stannis and Jon. I did not see that coming, was a genius idea. Hope the wildlings fight for Stannis after Mance's death.
ReplyDeleteI actually was disappointed in that scene. I didn't expect Mance to die, so it was a little shocker, but the scene itself wasn't good in my opinion. They shouldn't have shown Jon go away, so it was totally predictable what he would do.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Mance burning scene, which sounds really disturbing of me but it was well done and Jon gave him a better death.
ReplyDeleteAlso Tyrion and Varys they are hiralious together.
Varys taking to Tyrion about joining Dany. The prospect of Tyrion and Dany strategizing together made me way too happy.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for Tyrion to find out what a terrible Queen Dany would be, doesn't make me happy. At least there's hope that there is a better Targaryen.
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly Jon giving Mance a quick death and at the same time taking charge for good and defying Stannis in the process. I don't recall right now, but hadn't already been elected as LC in the books before that scene? A shame Mance had to die and for what? For not bending the knee, not being a deserted..The mannis fans are gonna be so angry.
ReplyDeleteLoved the scene of the Harpy falling off the Pyramid...
ReplyDeleteTyrion and Lord Varys are two of my favourite characters, so their conversation is on the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteJon killing Mance a close second. I will miss Mance, felt like there was so much more story to that character and now he is gone....
more like for attacking the seven kingdoms and not joining the rightful king - always two sides of a coin ...
