Only thing that kept this from being the best season was having to wrap up the Claire storyline from season 3, which was terrible. The stuff at the convention was the strongest stuff of the series, I think.

Amazed there wasn't more commentary on this. Great season.

I know I'm not the first to suggest this, and it may be an unpopular opinion with most of you (old man yells at cloud rant coming up) but I think its mainly due to how the show is released all at once.
It ruins "watercooler talk" at work or catching up and having a whole week to discuss the most recent episode with your friends that enjoy it as well. With every episode releasing at once, and everybody having different schedules, its almost guaranteed people will be at different points and so to not ruin stuff you basically cant talk about the show until its over for everyone which may be quite awhile for the early finishers who have already moved on to something else. I would much prefer them to release one episode a week like a traditional TV show just to be able to discuss it with people around me that also really like it.
quote:I really enjoy Yates. The actor has a tremendous voice, and I think his acting is great. Add to that that all his lines are very very authoryish (speaking in allegory, using many adjectives, fancy words), and somehow I'm always drawn in when he's in a scene.
I absolutely love HoC and this season was great (I would rank them 1, 4, 3, 2). But, can anyone else absolutely not stand the Tom Yates character? I think the actor portraying him is terrible, so I don't know if that's skewing my view of the character, but any scenes with him in them are cringe-worthy to me.

Was the last scene the first time in the series that Claire looked at the camera and broke the "fourth wall"? I couldn't remember any other time.
