I gotta agree. I've been calling it since that moment with the Tarley's, and she has had a penchant for random and extreme acts of violence when trying to exert her authority (like crucifying the Masters), BUT up to that point, the targets of her ire generally deserved it.
Jaime's ending is one of the biggest disappointments for me so far. That is the epitome of slopping writing in this last season. Yeah, I'm sure Martin would be fine with "bad guys stay bad in the end", but even if that was the point, come up with something better than the two of them being buried alive.
I mean, on the other hand....reality is boring. Everyone expected a "thing" to happen, and they just get buried...it happens.
But yeah...I'd have liked a *little* more than that.
The only consolation is that awful Dornish sloot is definitely ketchup too.
Clegane-bowl was never going to live up to the hype, but I thought it was an appropriate end. I actually loved when Sandor is laughing from of his sheer inability to kill The Mountain.
I think it's one of those moments where he's always build his brother up in his mind as this undefeatable figure, and his fear has kept him form even attempting to try to take him out, and finally when he gets to the point where he doesn't care anymore...the dude is *literally* unkillable...
You gotta look at this whole episode as ironic- the ultimate irony being Dany's previous obsession with being the free-er of everyone...
