Game of Thrones Season 4 will air its last episode this Sunday, June 15.
Episode 10 "The Children" is announced to have a 66-minute long runtime; the longest Game of Thrones episode ever.
A trailer of the last episode was uploaded on Youtube. The video emphasizes on the events between Cersei, Jon Snow, and Daenerys Targaryen.
Viewers are excited on how will the season close considering the events from the past episodes where The Wall has been under attack and the death. The recap of the past episode is here.
"He knew it and she knew it. It wasn't going to end happily, as most relationships tend to do. When she dies, what I wanted post-Ygritte's death was for Jon to be stone cold. It's the last thing that tests his emotions, and for me and Rose, it was a really emotional point as well because we'd grown very close as friends over the years, and to see her leave the show really helped the scene. It's been such a pleasure working with her, and having Rose leave was emotional enough, really," Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) told on his interview with The Daily Beast.
He added, "He has always been searching for validation-some kind of validation of who he is, being a bastard, and he proves himself somehow. But the longer it goes on, the less it is about him wanting to prove himself, and the more it's just about him wanting to do what needs to be done. That's the person he's turning into. He's losing his ambition and is discovering that life isn't really about being the hero, it's about surviving and doing right by the people you love."
Writers Benioff and Weiss stated on EW.com on how did they think of the 8th episode - where The Mountain and the Red Viper intensified the audiences with their battle scenes and all the vendetta, "There was also something unique about the contrast between the Mountain's and Oberyn's very different fighting styles. We were looking forward to watching this massive, powerful monster fighting this lightning quick showboater. The real trick was finding actors capable of embodying these characters in physical performance. We got very lucky on that score - Pedro [Pascal] and Hafthor [Björnsson] are both gifted fighters, and they both worked their asses off. More than anything else, they're what sets the scene apart from other scenes in the "arena fight" genre - how invested we are in them, and in the other characters whose fates are linked to theirs."
The final episode will be aired at 9pm EST on HBO.
