It was an unimpressive season finale, it was going to be very difficult following up the RW and they left all of the other big things from the end of book 3 for the beginning of season 4 but that left the season 3 finale with hardly anything interesting to work with. On the plus side since Ygritte is not dead yet I can go for another year pretending she might survive.

Yeah, I think this season finale is the weakest. There were too many characters crammed when just a handful is necessary to keep the finale satisfying enough. I mean in S1 after Baelor it's just so painful to see how the Starks react and how this is a trigger of something to come. But after the Red Wedding we didn't get the same effect especially from the Stark sisters. We get like five seconds of Sansa crying. *is really angry*
And my gosh I love Dany but the end scene makes me really uncomfortable.

And my gosh I love Dany but the end scene makes me really uncomfortable.
I agree that the final scene is only fitting to show her with an army and a lot of subjects but damn the whole scene at the end felt like a feeding program for POC's. I know what's gonna happen because of her actions but I guess the writers should have toned down because has really some white imperialist implications. I think they could have removed or shortened scenes in Dragonstone, Shae, and Castle Black.

I don't generally come into this thread cause the book readers, while marking spoilers, hint at things that would diminish my enjoyment of the series.
That said, I came here purely to post this:

Also I agree with most of the people in this thread regarding the finale. It didn't really have much going for it.
Dany with her big army and all her freed slaves is great for an episode ending but it doesn't leave you with much to be concerned about for the next series. We knew she was a force to be reckoned with when she gained the Unsullied. Also, even though I don't read the books, I knew something was supposed to happen at the end of this third book and it never did so I was left kind of wanting.

Also, I was expecting something like that of Blackwater battle in Yunkai but :/

Just finished watching all 10 episodes of season 3 in the last 24 hours 
.
.I think the mother of dragons storyline was probably the strongest sub-plot in it. I hadn't really enjoyed it until this season, tbh. Enjoyed the other developments too, of course, but I felt they were weaker than they had been previously. We go into the fourth book now, right? Which is lauded as being the worst of the books so far? Hopefully the TV series can make it good or something =p.

Season four is probably going to delve somewhat into elements of books four and five (which mostly overlap in chronology, although book five also covers events that occur past the end of book four), but the show still isn't finished depicting events of book three. Most of what's been depicted comes from the first half of book three, although if memory serves
comes from its second half, barely.
Book four isn't as bad as it's often claimed to be.

I've never heard them say that. The plan was always to split book three over two seasons and I seem to remember hearing them saying books four and five (which they're presenting in internal chronological order rather than split up by character like they were in the books) might even take three. This series is a pretty big cash cow for HBO. I don't see why they'd set up an arbitrary restriction on the length of the show when it's pretty obvious that doing so would probably mean cutting away more material than would be reasonable for a pragmatic adaptation. It'd be like adapting The Eye of the World into a two-hour film (which has actually been proposed by the idiots who controlled Jordan's film rights) - you'd end up cutting away so much material that it'd no longer be recognisably The Eye of the World. People claim that not much happens in books four and five, but there's no way you could condense that material into ten hours of screen time without making it no longer recognisably A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, especially since A Dance with Dragons is even longer than A Storm of Swords. I imagine the last two books are going to be even denser, plot-wise, considering how much of books four and five is introducing new characters.
