First of all, way too much happened in this season to write about all of it. So instead I'll just write about my favorite parts. Also, I don't remember every single characters name because they get killed off before I can remember.
First, the best thing was that King Joffrey got killed by poison in his wine. Tyrion, aka the actor Peter Dinklage, my favorite character is accused of killing him and is imprisoned for this. Later, Tyrion demands trial by combat and this foreigner decides to fight for him because he learns the guy he's fighting killed and raped his sister. But when they actually fight Tyrion's champion spears the guy in the stomach. However, the guy still isn't completely dead. He gets up and gouges out the other guy's eyes, killing him. Then he lays over and dies himself. It was pretty gruesome, as most of this show is.
Next, another part that I liked was when Lord Balish, who also goes by Peter, was kissing Lady Sansa outside and his wife, Sansa's aunt catches him. So Sansa's aunt scolds Sansa and threatens to push her out of the moon roof, which was how they claimed they would kill Tyrion before he got the right to demand trial by combat. So Lord Balish comes in and tries to calm down Sansa's aunt but she ain't hearing it. So Balish tells her,"the only woman I have ever loved is your sister". And then he pushes her out of the moonroof. It was a surprising moment for me but then again this is the guy who killed Joffrey with poison wine so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he'd kill his wife that he really doesn't love.
Next, I really enjoyed the fight for the wall. It was the Wildlings and their giants vs John Snow and the men from the Night's Watch. The fighting lasted pretty much the whole hour of the episode and what a fight it was! There was giants too! But the interesting thing here was that John Snow's Wildling girlfriend came to kill him but instead it was her who ended up getting shot with an arrow, by a kid from the Night's Watch. After the fighting's over John Snow goes out to meet with the Wildling King and try to reason with him to stop the fighting and end the bloodshed. Instead, Stanis Borathean, who claims to be the rightful true king shows up and takes the Wildling King prisoner and promises to let him talk and be reasoned with based on what John Snow says.
Lastly, other parts that I liked was when the female Knight and her squire finds Araya Stark and The Hound. The female Knight fights the Hound and actually wins. He gets so wounded that he says he won't live. He begs Araya to kill him but instead she just takes his coins and gets out of there, leaving him to die in the wilderness. Also, at the very end Tyrion is freed by his brother Jaime Lannister. On Tyrion's way out though he sees his dad on the crapper. He ends up shooting his dad with a crossbow and getting out of town by being hidden in a bag. Not bad for an imp. I've already seen the first episode of season 5 but I'll have to get it on DVD when it comes out as well.
