By the end of the episode, I had almost totally forgotten that Arya had viciously murdered the first person on her Kill Bill list, and that she had gone blind! By the time Cersei (and her body double) had walked through the streets of King’s Landing and Jon Snow was betrayed by his men, I basically couldn’t even remember what else had happened.
Was Stannis really dead? Was Brienne really that useless all season? Was Khaleesi about to be Khaleesi again? And oh yeah, did Jamie just lose his only daughter? Hey, as least Sam the Wizard got Gilly and Sam Jr. out of Castle Black before the mutiny! Really, if the Night’s Watch is all about turning on its leader, why even bother?
In the end, it was a breathtaking season finale and I’m gonna have to rewatch the episode to take it all in again. For now, let’s look at the final week’s scores!
I guess when you stab a guy multiple times — basically everywhere a guy can get stabbed — you get to be high scorer for the week. At +4 points per injury, Arya sure got her revenge worth on poor Meryn Trant. Then again, who is trying to feel sympathy for a child beater and molester? Speaking of Trant, he came up #2 in EP10 with 24 total points himself, mainly from whipping little girls. Ugh, so gross. Thanks for killing him Arya, hope you get your eyesight back!
A lot of characters scored this week but none of them in overwhelming volume — save Arya and her +63 points. If you were hoping for a last minute win for you league, let’s hope you were just a handful of points behind. There were a whole bunch of high profile kills this week but a kill is just worth nine points, regardless if who was on the receiving end of the death blow.
The most exciting bit for me was to see that Davos Seaworth finally got on the board with an insult! Go go Onion Knight! Let’s see where this last week of scoring takes end of the season stats...
