I guess it's nice that Brienne got revenge on behalf of that guy none of us care about.
Though probably not, because scenes that cut away from a "death" like that usually result in "she swung at the tree instead, because she realized killing him would bring her no comfort."
- TEAM VARYON IS BACK IN BIDNESS. Seriously, this is the only really exciting thing this finale. Also this episode answered my question: Peter Dinklage has chemistry with everyone (and speaks Low/High Valyrian)
- Daario was way more interesting when away from Daenerys. Will be interesting to see his thang with Jorah.
This was pretty much the only part of the episode I liked.
- Oh no Myrcella. So sad. Not really. Dorne is still coming in pretty high on the pointless scale.
I don't believe this death will hold. Same with Jon. Cutting away from deaths before someone is dead is generally a cheap gimmick that goes nowhere. They didn't cut away from Jon, of course, but there's just no thematic reason to kill him off (contrary to what Martin might like to claim about how "bad things happen to good people/heroes don't always win," there's really nothing story-wise that benefits from Jon's death. Unlike Robert, Ned, Robb, etc.)
