Wash would return from the dead if George R.R. Martin wrote the sequel to Serenity. And Wash, horribly scarred, would show no mercy to Reavers. It's payback time! Expect the same on Game of Thrones.

LOL! If only!

But now I must admit my fail. Episode 10 did not do what I hoped. And now I must wait a year for the next season.

Between that and waiting for The Walking Dead, I am paying back karma for being such a slacker with my fanfic.

Dammit all, Mal! I guessed wrong! I thought season 3 of Game of Thrones would end with a major character returning from the dead because A Storm of Swords, book 3 of the series, ends with this scene:

Select to view spoiler:

“She don’t speak,” said the big man in the yellow cloak. “You bloody bastards cut her throat too deep for that. But she remembers.” He turned to the dead woman and said, “What do you say, m’lady? Was he part of it?”

Lady Catelyn’s eyes never left him. She nodded.

Merrett Frey opened his mouth to plead, but the noose choked off his words. His feet left the ground, the rope cutting deep into the soft flesh beneath his chin. Up into the air he jerked, kicking and twisting, up and up and up.

THE END

That is an ugly image to end a season of TV. I assume this return from the dead scene was moved to the first episode of Season 4 so that Season 3 could end more peacefully with the mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen triumphant.

No, I didn't expect that at all. I believe that is somewhat removed in the books. I don't expect it until later in season 4, possibly toward the end.

I was hoping for...

If I quit watching every time a major character were killed off, I'd have quit this place the day "Serenity" hit the theaters.

I'd also have quit Buffy in the second season, and Angel in the first.

People die, in stories and in real life, and in both cases, it's rarely when and where you expect. The rest of us keep going on, somehow.

I was shocked by some of the deaths, but that just goes to show the power and skill of the writer, because he or she made you CARE about these fictional people in the first place.

Dammit... I DID sorta watch the final episode. Not fully, mind you, but enough to kinda follow up on the aftermath of prior events.

The curious turn of events seem to have, for the moment, turned Arya and The Hound into strange allies. She's gone from vowing to bury a sword into his skull to needing him to save her Stark skin, and get her far away from The Twins as possible.

Hound: "Where'd you get the knife ? "

Arya: " It's yours "

*chuckle*

Hound's expression was great, followed by the comical comment ... almost brought me back.

Almost.

Reminds me of The Sopranos when they killed off Mikey Palmice during the first season. The Sopranos killed off a lot of characters in six years, but Mikey was special. No one on that show looked, acted, and spoke the part of a Jersey wise guy like he could. Except maybe Richie Aprile.

It was shocking. Walder betrayed the first rule of hospitality. He had a reason to do it, but he was also influenced by outside parties. You think there won't be comeback on both Walder and the Lannisters at some point?

EIGHT HUNDRED pages of nothing more than flat out "filler" which advanced the plot barely an iota, while showcasing misery upon misery.

Kind'a my feeling.

I've read all five books, and from we're at ending season 3 it just goes from death to maiming to torture to failure to betrayal to crushed hopes, and then gets worse. And he keeps adding more and more characters to beat up on. There really doesn't seem to be any point other than to see what new and different torture he can put his characters through. There's some characters he's spends fifty pages developing, and then just kills them off pointlessly. Then there's stuff like a feast of 77 courses, and he has to describe each one in detail(right up until the murder). Does he think he's being paid by the word?

I miss watching G.O.T. to close out the weekend. I also miss The Walking Dead. And now 'Veep' is gone too. As Spanky and Our Gang sang, Sunday Will Never Be The Same.
