Rodrik is near-dead after the battle. Mira got her head chopped off. Gared is heading South for the big comeback. According to the game, I fought with FIERCE PASSION.
I enjoyed the season overall, and I will say I do somewhat disagree with people saying this episode was just cliffhangers. Gared's storyline was a bit of a dud, with them never actually figuring out how to tie it into everything else, and Mira was ultimately inconsequential, but she did get a conclusion, and the Asher/Rodrik plotline REALLY went out with a bang. I'm really looking forward to seeing where my Rodrik goes next, I love how he's shaping up to be this mangled, fierce, un-killable lord. Asher was the perfect catalyst for his transformation into bloodlusted warrior.
Anyone else feel like they reeeeally overplayed the deaths in this season? I know deaths are a Game of Thrones staple, but literally about three quarters of the cast got killed this season. It's like if in the first season of Game of Thrones, they killed Ned, Sansa, Jon, Catelyn, Robb, Bran, Theon, Cersei, The Hound and Tyrion. I have no idea how they're going to approach season two when, by my count, there are.... three developed characters left? Asher/Rodrik, Beksha, Gared. And since Asher/Rodrik is determinant, I just can't see them remaining in the story, what with the good old "determinant characters will die one episode later" TellTale trope.
Also, did anyone else get anything other than "FIERCE PASSION" at the end bit there? It seems like it was a calculation based on my choices, and I'm curious how it wound out for others.
