Game of Thrones, S. 5, E. 10: “Mother’s Mercy”

June 17, 2015 by Caitlin

It’s over! As far as season finales go, I have often felt that Game of Thrones does a poor job of enticing fans back with the final episode after they’ve been gutted by previous episodes (particularly after the Red Wedding), but I know that most (like me) wail and moan over atrocities only to eagerly tune in next season.
