Finales: Game of Thrones, Inuyasha The Final Act...Wayward Pines(?)

So last week we saw the end of some series/seasons and I wanted to provide my commentary.

First of all, let's just get Game of Thrones out of the way. SPOILER ALERT, lots of people died. Sansa and Theon/Reek did not, at least I don't think so, they just jumped but I think they survived, but Reek will die later. Jon Snow did die, and contrary to many hopes he will not come back. I know the prevailing theory is Melisandre will ressurrect him, but if that were possible, why didn't she do that for Stannis? Not that I want Stannis to come back, I'm glad Brienne got her vengance on that daughter killing prick. The only other death I feel is worth picking out is Jamie Lannister's daughter. I mean, seriously, we have one hapy story going on, she found a man she loves, she knows her uncle is her father, she's cool with everything...and then she dies from poison from that Dornish bitch. I guess George R. R. Martin feels a character is no longer worth keeping if they are actually happy. On the other hand Arya's been blinded after getting righteous vengance on a pedophile, but she needs to learn a lesson about not giving into such personal hatred, the Faceless Men are successful because they have no personal connections and therefore no motives to connect them to the deaths they deal out; once she learns her lesson she will see more clearly than ever. Of course everyone is really thinking about Cersei's naked walk of shame(damn them some nice boobies!). But the real question is...WHERE THE F**K IS BRAN STARK? The previous season left him with the Children of the Forest and this season left him still freezing his ass off in the North Pole. Dammit, he's the Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, the oldest remaining male Stark, he deserves some frickin' screen time!

Meanwhile, in the shadows, a very important series finally ended, Inuyasha. I already mentioned Inuyasha in an earlier post, and after over a decade, the story has finally been concluded. Kikyo finally died, for real this time, but she was the only real casualty,all the other hero types managed to beat death, even Miroku beat his curse! Naraku managed to collect all of the shards of the Shikon Jewel, but it turns out, he himself was merely a tool of the jewel just to try and trap Kagome's soul. Inuyasha's love for Kagome proved stronger and they finally got rid of the jewel and Naraku forever, along with all of his incarnations and minions. Oh and shippers, not only do Inuyasha and Kagome end up together, but so do Miroku and Sango(they even have three kids!) and Koga isn't alone either, his betrothed makes an honest man out of him, and as for Sesshomaru and Rin, she's still a little young, but it's strongly implied they are meant to be as well.

Finally, I just want to say something about Wayward Pines if you're watching, yes, that actually was the truth, no they weren't lying to the Burkes, they were actually preserved in stasis for 1800 years only to live in the last town isolated from a post-apocalyptic landscape full of mutant cannibals.  Aren't we glad we have an extra week after getting our minds blown to recover before going back on that acid trip?
