14 DAY TRIAL // With “Game of Thrones,” HBO seems to be developing quite a knack for a different type of season finales: a strong, surprising, and even heartbreaking penultimate episode and an almost anticlimactic finale.
“Mhysa,” the finale episode of season 3, aired last night and, as Yahoo! writes in its review, it was shocking for how un-shocking it was.
This isn’t really a bad thing, despite what fans might be saying online, frustrated that they didn’t get more answers or at least a cliffhanger to make them jump out of their seats.
“‘Mhysa’ once again demonstrates how brutal and calculating this world is. A would-be king is dead and a once-proud family is ruined, but… well, life moves on. There's no time for mourning — only readjustment and re-strategizing,” Yahoo! says.
So, instead, fans got the promise of more extraordinary and unexpected events… but only in 10 months’ time, when season 4 premieres.
“As Littlefinger said earlier this season, ‘Chaos is a ladder.’ And after the chaos of Robb's death, you can either keep climbing or get knocked down into the sewage stream of Flea Bottom,” Yahoo! further says.
