The last episode of season four is another winner and closes what is quite possibly the most consistently entertaining series that the show ever had. Certainly from this point on there would be fantastic episodes - even better than those which have come previously - but also more filler each and every series. THE CHILDREN ties together neatly all the plotlines of the show. Tyrion's final scenes with Tywin are well remembered for good reason, but there's an epic and brutal bout between the Hound and Brienne before then, along with a great JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS-inspired set-piece north of the wall. Jon seems suddenly full of gravitas and maturity and any episode featuring Ciaran Hinds is a winner.
