Review of The Children

Jon Snow meets Mance and they discuss a peaceful alternative to the battle. Out of the blue, Stannis and his army put the Wildlings under siege and Mance surrenders. Jon asks for mercy for Mance to Stannis since he was well treated by him when he was his prisoner. Tywin wants to force Cersei to marry Loras and they have an argument. Cersei discloses her affair to her father and tells that she will make it public if he insists in marrying her. Jaime and Lord Varys help Tyrion to escape, but he kills Shae that is in Tywin's bed with his hands and his father with a crossbow. Then he leaves king's Landing with Varys in a ship. Daenerys learns that her black dragon killed a three year-old girl and she locks them up in the dungeons. Brienne and Pod meet Arya and The Hound and Brienne has a deadly sword fight with The Hound to keep Arya. Bran, Jojen, his sister and Hodo reach their target but they are attacked by Wights.

"The Children" is a grand finale for a great season of Game of Thrones. The story is becoming mystic, with the Wights in the North; Stannis with Melisandre; Bran and his encounter with the three-eyed raven; Arya heading to Braavos. Jon Snow has a gentle attitude toward Mance and his farewell to Ygritte shows how much he loved her. The fighting between Brienne and The Hound is quite pointless and next year we fans will finally know Braavos. Fortunately Tyrion has survived and the great surprise is to know that Lord Varys has helped him. My vote is nine.
