Well, “Game of Thrones – Season 2” is over with already. I guess HBO is only doing 10 episodes for each season. This season was pretty good. Not the best ever, just pretty good. I just wish the script was better and wish they stayed more true to the books. They left out a lot of important characters. They changed the stories around a little bit, and altering characters like I said before. I can understand why HBO feels the need to do it, since the series is only 10 episodes, and the books are so long that they can’t fit everything in.

The best two episodes this season were the final two, “Blackwater” and “Valar Morghulis”. I guess HBO wanted to save the best for the last. In the season finale last night, “Valar Morgulis”, everything was perfect and beautifully written. It was an amazing episode. It was very dramatic and intense with all the characters. Tyrion Lannister really showed his emotion as the character was upset, and Peter Dinklage did a phenomenal acting job. I think Peter is the best actor out of the cast.

The Daenerys storyline with the Dragons was pretty shocking. I love the Daenerys character, she’s an interesting character. During her segments, a certain someone made a surprise cameo apperaance, I won’t give any spoilers, but it is a character from Season 1.

The Arya and Jaqen story ended in a sad way too.

My only complaint is that I wish they did more with the Brienne Maid of Tarth, character. She didn’t get a lot of screen time. Brienne is supposed to be a brutal and mean character, and she got into way more gruesome sword fights in the books than the TV show. In the books, she’s a tough woman that you won’t even want to piss off, but the TV show made her look weaker.

Game of Thrones – Season 2 was okay this year. Hopefully next year will be better.

Edit to add: While “Game of Thrones” is no longer on, “Breaking Bad” Season 5 will be aired on AMC next month, so that’ll be good TV to keep us busy while “Thrones” and “Walking Dead” are on break.
