I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress: Game of Thrones Season 4 Finale: Woven Threads
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Game of Thrones Season 4 Finale: Woven Threads
Tonight concluded the best finale of the best season of
Game of Thrones so far. It was the best because it tied up so many loose ends, and thereby moved the story forward.
1. I knew Tyrion wouldn\'t die and Jaime would be the one to save him (I\'ve read only the first novel, so this was all prediction based on watching the series - I said this in previous reviews). What I didn\'t see was that Tyrion would kill Tywin, which certainly provides a service to Cersei. King\'s Landing without Tywin, though, will leave it less able to defend itself when Daenerys finally arrives. Nonetheless, Tyrion - who may be on his way to meeting up with Daenerys now - was right to kill Tywin. I didn\'t believe a word Tywin was saying at the end, either.
2. Daenerys, though, is having problems with her uncontrollable dragons. This is an important development. If she can\'t control them, how can she effectively deploy them in battle?
3. Arya may be on her way to joining Daenerys, too. After wandering around with the Hound for who remembers how many seasons, she\'s off on her own. And the land across the sea is a good place for her to be - not only safe from her enemies - who would be, who, Stanislaw and Cersei? - but in a strong place to influence events if Daenerys takes her in. And when you add Tyrion into this mix, you get some even more interesting possibilities.
4. Speaking of Stanislaw, he\'s finally put to some good, surprising use after his defeat at King\'s Landing at Tyrion\'s hands. Having him and his troops beat Mance Rayder, with the defenses at Castle Black all but exhausted, was a smart move in this complex game of chess that is
Game of Thrones. His command of the north may well provide the best defense of Westeros in the ultimate battle with Daenerys.
5. Bran also had a significant episode, which ends for him in a significant position of power. Exactly how this will figure in battles ahead remains to be seen.
6. And I was glad to see John Snow surviving, at least for now. The first part of this season finale was in effect the end of the single-story episode we saw last week, which was also one of the best episodes in the series.

Dear Paul, I just dreamed of airships flying between raindrops. I just returned from 2042 CE, where I sold my hardcover copy of The Plot to Save Socrates for seventy million Neo-Euros, because it had your response to this e-mail from way back in 2007 scotch-taped onto the inside of the cover. A Paul Levinson collector paid top Neo-Euro, because of the authentic archaic e-mail printout from you. It turns out that not many of your e-mails from before your tenure as CEO of HBO/Cinemax and terms as United Nations Secretary General will survive that far into the future. So, please respond to this e-mail, to help found my great-grandchildren\'s fortune. My Will will stipulate that they must share with your great grandchidren. Thanks! Tom
