Exuding Geekiness since 1984

So, let's talk about the much anticipated season finale for Game of Thrones . Last night was the last night and the culmination of 8+ years of hard work for all those who were involved in the show. From the crew to the actors and everyone in between, yesterday was farewell. And, now that we are living in a digital media age, the fans' reactions were fast and furious. There were many whom enjoyed the ending, other's not so much (and boy, were they vocal, specially on Twitter!) . The main complaint that I could tell from those who were less impressed with the finale was: Pacing- felt too rushed Story development, specifically the character build up and feeling that it was for nought.

Specially, when some of the Lords in the North decide to sit it out because they feel betrayed by Jon, whom swore to...

OMFG, I'm sure most of you by now have seen the season finale for Game of Thrones season 7, right?! If not, this is your only warning, spoilers (or potential spoilers ahead). As many of you know there was a lot of game changers in last night's episode, and to be honest, it's really one of the best episodes this season. Actually, I am really happy about this season, it really up the ante on moving the story along, pace and character development. Game changing events/revelations:  A Wiki of Ice and Fire- Westeros Most of the audience and the readers knew, or at least we had a pretty good idea (for a while now) of Jon Snow's parentage.
