[MUSIC] [NOISE]
>> Kenny here and welcome to another splendid episode of Axey Fabulous. Today, I will be
reviewing Game of Thrones season 4 finale. Titled The Children. Written by Benioff and
Weiss, directed by Alex Graves. This was the prince that was promised. At least to a large
number of Game of Thrones fans. I mean, not to the ones who actually understand
the prince that was promised reference. But. Anyway, today we're gonna do things just a
little bit differently because if doing the Twitter posts over at the winterscoming.net
have taught me anything, it's that being spoiled to the books makes one's viewing experience
just a tiny bit skewed. So I'm going to be doing two reviews. That's
right, two. One will be done as if by a. Normal person. I need a show watcher or average show
boring television critic. Which that's me sometimes.
>> You know there will be done by a book reader who dresses like this, rides Harley's and
is bad ass. Because book readers are bad ass mother
>> But. They are. And they can be a bit temperamental and entitled. They want a lot of stuff from
the books. I want a lot of stuff from the books. Show watchers just don't want to know
what it is. Oh, and one final little detail. Mom, I will be playing a character on this
show. This character cusses a f***ton so. You've been warned. Good sons warn their mothers.
Let's start North of the Wall. Yeah, John Snow.
>> Status. >> That dude's hair still looks great.
>> Status. >> Gonna meet with Mance Raider.
Finally. >> Status, status, status.
>> Good to see Kieran Hynes once more. Dude's, like, buxomtonia filled pops up every year
or so maybe. >> Stannis. Stannis. Stannis.>> I really like
Jon Snow's hair. >> Sta-a-a-a-annis!
>> Oh, they're coming under attack! who? >> [Screams] Stannis!
>> Yeah, that was a very good scene. Stan is actually finally doing something.
>> I've been waiting for this scene for like 12 years.
>> [NOISE] Later at Castle Black.
[MUSIC] Well, Cassandra, don't you dare look at John
Snow that way. Don't you dare. >> I like how they did that. Through the,
through the fire. Yeah. Across the narrow sea in Meereen.
[MUSIC] Denny sure has a lot of titles. Bathroom break.
[SOUND] No. This is gon, it's gonna get good. You're
gonna wanna watch this part. Oh that poor girl. Cannon. Oh yeah. Dragons. The effects
budget. They're so cute. More of the effects budget. It's a lot of dragon. Oh, this is
making me so sad. And the music. I Mean Jwatti is fucking metal.
From there we go as far north as north goes. [MUSIC]
Yeah, Bran and Hodor Hodor cool tree. Oh yeah the tree well they got there. Snack time.
>> Oh crap! Skeleton whites. >> Skeletons? Oh, now that, that may have
happened in the book, actually. I think. Yeah, there was a, there was something.
>> [NOISE] >> I can't really remember.
>> This is really tense. >> This is some Ray Harryhausen shit right
here. >> I don't even know what that means, but
I am really worried right now. >> They'll be fine.
>> Jojen? >> What the what? Oh my God!
>> Oh my God, no. >> Oh, they killed Jojen.
>> They killed Jojen? >> Oh, Meera. This is so sad.
>> What, what the fucking, fucking, what the fucking shit fuck.
>> [NOISE] The elf girl just nuked his corpse. The children
of the forest do not nuke things. Really? Cuz that, that seemed kind of magical to me.
Yeah they have powers over beasts. They can. Skin changed. They have the side like Joe
can speak with the death. >> yeah, that does sound like magic.
>> They didn't hurl fire balls, man! >> Fire balls is wizardry. It's like a third
level spell. These sound like Melvyn drawings.
>> This isn't dungeons and dragons. >> Oh, here, no I was wrong. Page, 326, produce
flame. It's derivative, first level. Over in the Vale. Oh my God Brianne and Aria are
meeting. >> Didn't happen
>> Aren't they cute together though, they should be friends.
>> Yeah, this isn't gonna go well
>> Oh no, no, don't fight. I dont even know if i care anymore.
>> No no stop. No stop be friends, be friends. Your ruining everything.
>> Damn. >> [NOISE]
>> [NOISE] >> [NOISE] And that was the best fight ever.
>> Yeah. I'll get [UNKNOWN]. Oh Arya, no, don't kill him.
No, no, no show Arya. Don't you dare kill him. Don't, don't. Or maybe she should. No.
Oh, she didn't. That's kind of mean. Gravedigger. And finally, in King's Landing.
[MUSIC] Oh yay, Jamie's freeing Tyrion. Yup. They're
brothers who clearly love each other. Well, just wait. Man, this is kinda touching, though.
Well, I kinda almost don't want Jaime to say what he's about to say. Yeah, don't say it,
Jamie. I love you, Jamie. Even though you're back with Corse.
Who you raped. He didn't. Say it, why the fuck didn't he say it. Jamie is supposed to
>> Oh no that's Shai. >> Yeah, right, but he needed to say
>> Oh no, oh no. >> Hands of gold are always cold.
>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
>> I don't even, like what is his motivation that.
>> Well, self defense. Shae did just try to kill him with a cheese knife, so. Oh, cross
bow. That's Joffry's cross bow. Nice touch. Bow Tywin you are so dead. Yeah except Tyrion
doesn't have the motivation now to go kill his father.
Tyrion has plenty of motivation. It is like you haven't even watched any of the season.
How much more motivation you need. Yeah ok. Oh you shouldn't have called him whore. [SOUND]
Charles Dans you are a goner. >> Yup.
>> I'll miss that man. But that character was an asshole.
Yay! Veris is going with Tyrion. Road trip? >> Why not.
[MUSIC] >> Ooh Aria. Oh, this ending. This music.
>> Yeah, it was good. But wait for the real ending.
>> Oh my god, it's perfect. This show is perfect. >> No, seriously, wait.
>> The music is perfect. >> It, it's not over yet.
>> What a great finale. >> Wait for after the credits.
>> This could be the greatest show ever. Ever, ever. I mean, think about it. Firefly lasted
only one season. The Wire, Breaking Bad, I mean, it's certainly in the conversation.
>> Stoneheart. >> Battlestar Galactica was really good, for
like, the first three seasons. And then that whole final five was, Where the, fucking fuck
is Lady fucking Stoneheart?
>> What? >> Are we even having the same conversation
here? >> Stoneheart!
>> You know what? I'm, I'm gonna go get a Klondike bar while you calm down.
>> Greatest show on television and he's screaming. I don't get it. I don't get it. Aah! Aah!
Aah! Stupid show! So, yeah. It's kind of like, two completely
different viewing experiences, but man the conversations sure is interesting. At this
point, I'd love to get the options of my three wise oracles of the internet. Sadly, Tumblr
girl has. Gone missing. And I just got a postcard from Facebook Guy.
Barbados. He said he liked the episode. I guess that only leaves Joey, Joey what did
you think? >> Tony, I didn't see it.
