I loved Tyrion's speech, I like how one of the best characters is fighting on the same side as the evil characters, it's all so complicated

I believe so...looks like the House of the Undying is where we'll leave off until next season

Gendry better be in tomorrows episode
Great season finale, lots of cliffhangers in every front. Brienne is really cool and Tyrion showed himself in this episode as he truly is, without all the irony that he uses to protect himself. Lol moment with the Theon speech, for a moment i thought they were going to take him seriously for a change.
Daenerys finally is moving on and the final of the episode...
Daenerys finally is moving on and the final of the episode...i was dead at theon's speech scene. 
so good.
cried a bit when you know who was next to that tree doing you know what.
i see they started with the change in the portrayal of tyrion, i was wondering how they're going to do it, then again it's peter dinklage so i have no worries at this point.
khalessi finally got an attention deserving sequence.
robb..oh god..dunno.
overall, tad underwhelming finale, but i've loved the end, thought it would be more scary tho.

Robb...so frustrating.
@ the final scene, now we're cooking!
@ the final scene, now we're cooking!Honestly I was quite underwhelmed, but then again I knew I'd be. Episode 9 was written by George R. R. Martin himself, and it stands up there as one of my favorite episodes in the entire series so far. It kept me excited; the character development concerning Cersei Lannister was incredible and I didn't even care for the book-to-show changes.
The finale paled in comparison. I forced myself not to be excited for the House of the Undying segment, since I knew we wouldn't get to see the scene with Rhaegar Targaryen, Elia Martell and their son Aegon regarding the prophecy about the prince that was promised and the dragon with three heads, Aerys II commanding Rossart to light King’s Landing with wildfire, the prophecy about the treasons Daenerys will suffer, the one about the Red Wedding, etc. It had amazing potential. Since they were important to the story in the book, I guess they'll have them told in another way.
About the next season, I was glad to learn that the rumors concerning the fusion between Margaery Tyrell and Olenna Redwyne are confirmed to be false. Lady Olenna is getting casted, and that's all I care about for now.

This season went by in a blink of an eye! I don´t recall a boring episode 
I´m gonna miss the goosebumps I get from the opening, a year is too long to wait.

I think I might be the onl one not impressed about the finale. I can say that the only character I really care about is Tyrion (and maybe Cersei & Jamie...yes I love my lannisters). The rest of them lost their charm for me...
Aria's story started quite promising but now it seems to just go on and on without any end in view. The youngest Stark kids' stories are losing steam as well. I couldn't care less whom Robert marries or betrays.
The only thing that could really get me excited is if Daenarys would really cross the narrow sea sometime soon, but in the book it doesn't so...
Oh well...I'll be glued to the TV next season anyway

Game of Thrones Season 3 Announced!
renewed GAME OF THRONES for a third season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.
“Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss raised our expectations for the second season – and then surpassed them,” said Lombardo. “We are thrilled by all the viewer and media support we’ve received for the series, and can’t wait to see what Dan and David have in store for next season.”
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, GAME OF THRONES is an epic drama set in the world of Westeros, where ambitious men and women of both honor and ill-repute live in a land whose summers and winters can last years. The Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning fantasy series began its ten-episode second season Sunday, April 1 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), with other episodes debuting subsequent Sundays at the same time.
Among the early critical praise for the second season, Newsday called GAME OF THRONES “the best show on television,” while the Los Angeles Times termed the series “a cinematic feast” and “masterful.” The Wall Street Journal hailed the show as “magnificent” and USA Today called it “near perfection.”
According to early data, GAME OF THRONES’ season two premiere has already accumulated a gross audience of 8.3 million viewers, and is on track to easily surpass the season one average of 9.3 million viewers.
Season two cast members include: Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Aidan Gillen, Iain Glen, Kit Harington, Richard Madden, Maisie Williams, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Sophie Turner, Jack Gleeson and Alfie Allen.
HBOWatch: This is the moment we all knew was coming but couldn’t wait for! We will all be graced with yet another season of Game of Thrones next year! No word on whether the rumored split season 3 is actually going to happen. Also nothing on the filming schedule which would give a lot away about a possible season 4 of Game of Thrones. But this is good news nevertheless! Storm of Swords is an amazing novel with tons of major plot points so we can’t wait to see them on screen. Congratulations everyone!
You’re probably asking yourself “When does Game of Thrones season 3 start?” A man can’t know everything. We’ll be getting word from HBO on exact release date some time this winter. But expect Game of Thrones season 3 to premiere in April 2013.

I had mentioned to a co-worker that it would be awesome if Khal Drogo popped up in the House Of The Undying and there he was! It was nice to see him again. Daenerys dominated the finale again IMO, her scenes were some of the best. The very final scene gave me goosebumps and I am dying for season 3 to start!
they're splitting the third book in 2 seasons. i think i've read somewhere their plan is to make 10 seasons of it, so GM has 4 years to finish the 6th book and 5 to finish the 7th.

dajrekshn, I hope all that is true. The more the better! I have only watched up to episode 5 but I've read book 2. I cannot wait to finish the season. Sounds like the finale is fantastic! Eventually I will start book 3
