Talkin' Thrones Episode 40 - The Children (Season 4 Finale)

We've reached the end of another season of Game of Thrones, and if you ask Dom, the point where Game of Thrones officially drops off in quality. Season 4, Episode 10, entitled "The Children" is the end of a lot of our major character's arcs and also really a major ending point for a lot of the storylines we've been following for the last four seasons. Despite the Red Wedding occurring at the end of Season 3, Season 4 is the official end of a Storm of Swords, and also a pretty great encapsulation of everything that the fourth season was setting out to do, which is prepare us as the audience for the next phase of these character's journeys. Jon negotiates with Mance Rayder, Stannis arrives at the Wall, Daenerys is forced to imprison her dragons, Tyrion kills his father and Shae before escaping King's Landing with help from Jaime & Varys, Cersei finally reveals the truth to Tywin, Bran reaches the Weirtree and meets the Three Eyed Raven and Arya leaves Westeros for Braavos after witnessing the fight between Brienne and the Hound. All of these result in major changes for our characters that follow them all the way through to the end of the series, which is exactly what Pat & Dom are going to do as they begin the recap of the final four seasons in the build-up to the series finale.
