Well kids, another season of "Game of Thrones" has ended and as promised, it was full of battles, revenge and so much blood. They left out all the bones we saw too...and exploding heads.
The children were misbehaving in this episode and it was extra long, so grab a bottle and let's attack this amazing season finale.
Negotiations and Fire
The episode picks up exactly where it left off after that epic battle. Jon Snow heads to the Wildling camp to bargain with Mance. He's welcomed into his tent and they toast to Ygritte. After that battle, it's hard to believe the civility of this exchange. It turns out, the Wildlings don't want to conquer, they want to get behind the Wall for protections. It's cold and stuff out there! Open the gates to them and no one else will die...don't open the gates and they'll kill everyone in Castle Black. Yeah, I don't think the brothers will like this deal. They're interrupted by those menacing horns and...what's this? Lots and lots of horses riding uniformly? You kept trying to read the Sigil didn't you? Who can it be now? You knew who it was. Oh and more Wildlings are slaughtered.
It turns out it's Stannis and Ser Davos; not dressed appropriately for this harsh weather. Naughty children. They greet the super-against-kneeling Mance with Jon standing by his side and Jon introduces himself as the son of Ned Stark. He offers advice to Stannis on how to humanely handle Mance...as his father would have. Oh and be sure to burn the bodies of the dead before it gets dark. They get kinda zombie-esque if you don't.
