SPOILER ALERT: 'This war of five kings means NOTHING!' Game Of Thrones moves in new direction in epic finale... as the real threat emerges

It was the week after the most talked about television episode in recent times.
But the Red Wedding look to be just a prelude to a far greater story if the season finale of Game of Thrones is any guide.
With the Night's Watch finally discovering the White Walker threat growing beyond The Wall at the north of Westeros, at the show's close it was clear The War Of The Five Kings was just a fleeting diversion from the true story at hand.

Meaningless war: Priestess Melisandre reveals there is a far greater threat coming in the finale of Game of Thrones

The revelation is made after the Onion Knight Davos Seaworth tells Stannis Baratheon about the Night's Watch's fateful message just after being condemned to death.
When he consults his adviser Melisandre, who is a priestess of the Lord of Light, about the news, she tells him: 'This war of five kings means nothing.
'The true war lies to the north my king. Death marches on the wall only you can stop him.'
And when the pretender to the Iron Throne decides he wants to kill his most trusted man-at-arms anyway for his treason, she stops him saying: 'You need him. He has a part to play in the war to come.'

Game changer: She tells Stannis not to execute Davos Seaworth when she reads about the White Walker threat

Saved: A good deed is finally rewarded when Davos Seaworth's life is spared after her rescues Gendry

Changing his mind, the amused Lord of Dragonstone then points out his old friend should not be so skeptical about the Red Priestess.
He say: 'You see Sir Davos, you've been saved by that fire god you like to mock. You're in his army now.'
The story then picks up with Daenerys Targaryen, who is embraced as a saviour by the freed people of the slave city of Yunkai while her three dragons fly overhead in celebration.
It seems clear the Mother of Dragons, who is the last of the line of Westeros' true royals, will be the key to the land's survival in the face of the White Walker threat.

Saviour: Mother of Dragons Daenerys' quest to retake the Iron Throne is even more important if Westeros is to prevail against the White Walkers

But there was still plenty of other drama in the episode, which tied up many loose ends
It started in dramatic fashion, with the army of Robb Stark being slain by torchlight while his headless body was paraded through the streets of The Twins keep.
And while she did not witness the massacre itself, Arya Stark sees her brother dragged in front of a baying mob, though her captor Sandor Clegane takes her away before she can make a foolish decision that puts them both in danger.
However she manages to get some manner of revenge when slays a group of soldiers boasting about the massacre of the night before, stabbing a man to death who claimed to have sewn the head of Robb's murdered dire wolf Grey Wind onto its master's body.
Afterwards The Hound, who kills the other men before they could attack Arya, discovers she has killed her first man, he tells her: 'Next time you're going to do something like that tell me first.'

Ripe for the picking: Ayra Stark gets revenge on some soldiers boasting of the Red Wedding massacre

Unlikely ally: The Hound rushes to save her after she stabs one of them to death

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited moment of the episode was seeing the Lannister family's reaction to the Red Wedding.
Tyrion Lannister is enjoying a conversation with his new wife Sansa Stark in the King's Landing gardens when he is called to a meeting of the small council.
He is told to read the coded message, 'Rosylyn caught a fine fat trout her brothers gave her a pair of wolf pelts for her wedding. Signed Walder Frey,' and is shocked to learn of its meaning.
Joffrey tells him: 'Robb Stark is dead, and his bitch mother. Write back to Lord Frey, thank him for his service and command him to send Robb Stark's head.
'I'm going to serve it to Sansa at my wedding feast.'
It emerges the cruel ruler is entirely serious about the threat, then tells Tyrion he could have his tongue when he threatens him in retaliation.

No supper for you my lad: King Joffrey is sent straight to bed for speaking out of turn by Tywin Lannister

Not to be trifled with: He explains to his son Tyrion strength comes from armies not from having a crown

A quietly enraged Tywin, the head of the Lannister family, tells his grandson: 'Anyone who must say I am the king is no true king. I'll make sure you understand that when Ive won your war for you.'
He then hilariously sends him to bed without his supper.
It seems Walder Frey is not going to get way with his his Red Wedding treachery, as Bran Stark tells the ominous story of the Ratcook, a cook who is punished for murdering a guest, with the gods by turning him into rodent who must feast on his own family.
Other important plot points for the next season are also covered, with Samwell Tarly making it back to the Nights Watch keep Castle Black and warning them of the White Walker threat, which leads to the whole of the being kingdom being alerted

Tested to the limit: Theon Greyjoy endures yet another thrashing from his captor Ramsey Snow

But help is on the way: His sister Yara gathers up her finest men so she can rescue her little brother

Jon Snow also manages to make it back too, but not before being shot in the back with arrows by his former lover Ygritte.
And it seems long-suffering Theon Greyjoy could be rescued from being tortured by Ramsay Snow, the twisted bastard of Lord Roose Bolton whose identity was finally revealed.
His sister Yara vows to save him a part of his body is sent to them in a box despite her father's disapproval, telling him: 'I'm going to pick the fastest ship in our fleet.
'I'm going to choose the 50 best killers on the Iron Islands. I'm going to sail up the narrow sea all the way to the weeping water.
'I'm going to march on the Dreadfort I'm going to find my little brother and I'm going to bring him home.'

Unlikely hero: Samwell Tarly alerts the nation to the coming threat when he makes it back to Castle Black

Mixed reaction as critics and fans disagree over Game Of Thrones season finale

By Julie Moult
THE highly-anticipated season three finale of Game of Thrones met with mixed reactions from the show's devoted legion of fans on Sunday night.

Some loved it, some were disappointed - and others said it could never have matched the excitement of last week's unexpected Red Wedding massacre which left audiences with their hearts in their mouths.

It seems the professional critics were unanimous in their applause but the viewers were not so convinced.

Game of Thrones season three finale thrilled some but left others cold

Either way, the hour-long 'Mhysa' marked the culmination of a hugely successful season leaving viewers eagerly awaiting the twists and turns of season four.
Time magazine's TV critic James Poniewozik seemed impressed declaring:'Hands down, this has been the best season of Game of Thrones to date....'
Adding: 'The end of season 3, then, spent some time among the winners and losers in post-Red-Wedding Westeros, giving the audience a chance to soak in the shock, seethe at the winners’ glee, and get a reminder of the larger forces–White Walkers, dragons–well beyond the war between the
Lannisters and the Starks.
If the Red Wedding seemed to kill hope, “Mhysa” made clear that it didn’t end anything. And it weaved together the many, many threads of GoT’s tapestry by returning to a recurring theme: that Game of Thrones is ultimately about family.'
People magazine's Tom Gliatto described last week's episode as 'the most electric moment in dramatic television so far this year, and it's very unlikely to be topped.'
'Viewers were probably relieved that nothing in Sunday's finale came close...'
'The best scene was probably the kinkiest: the violent but deliriously romantic breakup between Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and his fur-wrapped, barbaric warrior lover Ygritte (Rose Leslie). As he rode off on his horse, she let her eyes fill with tears of resignation.
She also sank one arrow after another into his retreating body. He survived, barely, but if he had the strength to talk, he would have explained that she was just showing him how much she cared.'

We want more: Sunday night's season finale left fans looking forward to season four

Video gaming website IGN's Matt Fowler was also a fan.
'One of the best moments of the episode though was Arya plunging that dagger into the neck of one of the Freys and then whispering "Valar Morghulis." You'd better believe I re-watched that s*** multiple times.
'With the betrayal she felt at the hands of the Brotherhood, and now her mother and brother being slaughtered so close to her, I sort of feel like the show is doing a much better job than the books even of showing Arya's ever-increasing despair.'
And Erik Kain of Forbes.com wrote: Sunday night marks the season finale of Game of Thrones. It was quite an episode, too, though not as big and dramatic as its predecessor.
'I found one scene in particular wonderfully satisfying. Bran Stark and his ragtag band of visionary misfits is sitting in an abandoned castle on the Wall, and the young Stark is telling the old folk tale of the Rat Cook.'
He continued: 'The season three finale itself covered quite a bIt of ground, and pulling all the disparate pieces together is a tricky but important task as we ready ourselves for the long, terrible wait between now and the start of Season Four. 2014 feels like it’s an awful long ways off, doesn’t it?'
But on Twitter, the reaction was less overwhelmingly positive with many fans feeling short-changed.
@Mondkeyboy06: 'Is this season finale? This is a sorta slow episode. After last week, I need it to be going down on Game of Thrones!!'
@dancoloo:@GameOfThrones What kind of season finale was that?!?! So disappointed
@nouveau_rish:'Sooo can we all agree that the season finale of Game Of Thrones was lame?'
@garrethomas17: 'Mediocre game of thrones season finale. Episode before was definitely better.'
Others tweeters disagreed.
@shanajoseph: 'Game of Thrones season finale amazingggg.'

What next for Cersei Lannister? Fans face a long wait to find out

Why does the BBC think violence against women is sexy?

The most repulsive drama ever broadcast on British TV concludes tonight. BBC2’s five-part study of a serial killer, The Fall, starring Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson, has featured graphic depictions of sexual murder, violent abuse, necrophilia, stalking, pornography and masturbation.
BBC executives are defending the show and their decision to renew it for a second series: they claim it provides insight into the motives of a sadistic psychopath. By beckoning viewers to share the killer’s experiences, the programme-makers say, it challenges our preconceptions about evil.
Such weasel words are insulting and obscene. The Fall doesn’t challenge evil: it wallows in it. This series is an invitation to share an extended rape fantasy.
The BBC has made a serious error of judgement — their worst mistake yet in a succession of flawed dramas that present violence against women as either trivial or erotic.
The Politician’s Husband last month, another BBC2 drama shown just after the 9pm watershed, included a brutal portrayal of rape, featuring David Tennant and Emily Watson. The assault — part of a power struggle between a married couple — opened the second episode and happened with almost no warning.
Last year, the BBC dismissed protests at its anatomically detailed depiction of sadistic murder in Ripper Street, screened on Sunday nights. Women were garrotted, carved open, sexually mutilated — and the camera’s eye never flinched.
This visual catalogue of violence against women has even drawn criticism from that bible of the BBC, the Radio Times, and its level-headed chief TV critic Alison Graham. It was now an exception to the rule, she told Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, to see a major drama in which a woman was not raped, bound and gagged, or laid out grey and naked on a mortuary slab.
‘This is the norm — it seems to be pretty much everywhere,’ she said.

But The Fall, by idealising the killer, has gone further than any previous drama. He is virile and artistic, muscular and tender. All women crave rough or anonymous sex: that’s how he sees the world — and we are urged to see it that way with him.
It is hard to escape the conclusion that The Fall is a perverted sexual fantasy. It’s about wish fulfilment. In this fantasy, the protagonist isn’t depraved, deluded or inadequate: he’s what women desire, and men desire to be.
Former male model Jamie Dornan plays the serial killer, Paul Spector. He’s athletic, with a superb torso that he flaunts several times an episode — especially whenever he changes into his commando-style catsuit that, apparently, leaves no fibres for the forensics teams to trace.
Even on Belfast’s hardest streets, around the Shankhill Road, he fears no man. He’s a cat-burglar with superhuman talents. He can walk past a woman in her own house and she won’t see him. Even his name hints at ghost-like powers: Spector.

The Fall has gone further than any previous drama. Killer (Paul Spector) is virile and artistic. All women crave rough or anonymous sex: that's how he sees the world - and we are urged to see it that way with him

His ferocious intellect is evident. Colleagues where he works as a counsellor can’t cope with his mocking, terse conversation. At home, he reads the philosopher Nietzsche and can quote at length, to prove that petty moral rules do not apply to him. And he’s a devoted father to two young children.
His trimmed beard slightly blurs his chiselled features, as if he’s afraid of looking too gorgeous.
Women throw themselves at him anyway. His wife, a nurse in a premature baby unit, thinks he’s a doting husband. Their babysitter, a 15-year-old Lolita, is desperately in love with him. 
In the world of The Fall, that’s natural. It’s as if all beardy thirty-something blokes who listen to blues CDs are irresistible to troubled teens. This man is so hot that the grieving wife of a Loyalist ganglord who comes to him for bereavement counselling ends up falling into his arms. She can’t help herself.
These fantasy elements mimic the usual ingredients of an action thriller aimed at a male audience.
Ever since Ian Fleming invented James Bond, men have identified with the ice-calm alpha male loner: powerful, aloof, irresistible.

Killer: The most disturbing element of the series is not the glorification of the killer, it's the sexual violence and the way the women respond to it

The Fall writer Allan Cubitt admitted at the weekend: ‘I find serial killers fascinating in some terrifying way.’ 
Writing in the Guardian, Cubitt added that Spector was ‘a victim himself of his own psychopathology’.
That seems to imply we should sympathise with his creation as he breaks into women’s houses, throttles them, poses their bodies and spends hours photographing them.
But the most disturbing element of the series is not the glorification of the killer, it’s the sexual violence and the way the women respond to it.
When Spector wrestles the babysitter to the floor and pins her down, she responds by offering her bruised wrists and pouting, ‘Kiss it better’.
The victims Spector chooses to stalk don’t seem to help themselves. One calls the police after coming home to discover an intruder has been through her undies drawer — but then she refuses to co-operate with the inquiry, sends the constables away, and later fails to replace all the locks.
Another posts videos on bondage websites, advertising for casual sex partners to dominate her.
In one cold, sickening scene tonight, the rapist’s wife begs him for impersonal sex. The Fall’s message is plain: that’s what all women want. Even the killer’s seven-year-old daughter wants to daub her face with make-up and dance like Beyonce for her Daddy.
The violence is saved for the final scenes each week, as if the pent-up misogyny must reach a literal climax. Last week’s episode ended in a nightmarish frenzy of rape, torture and bloody murder.
In most crime dramas, the detective can heal the evil by solving the mystery. However flawed and conflicted the sleuth is, good will prevail.
But The Fall contains no mystery, and detective superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson) isn’t flawed, conflicted or anything else. She has no personality beyond methodical efficiency and a craving for emotionless sex.
When we first meet Gibson, she walks up to a detective at a crime scene and propositions him. ‘I’m staying at the Hilton, room 203,’ are her opening words to a man she’s never seen before.
Their sex scene is intercut with parallel images of the murderer’s latest conquest. Spector dumps her body across the bed; DSI Gibson slumps back in post-coital exhaustion.

The Fall contains no mystery, and detective superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson, pictured) isn't flawed or conflicted. She has no personality beyond methodical efficiency and a craving for emotionless sex

The killer washes the corpse; the anonymous policeman takes a shower. The killer photographs the body; the policeman takes naked snaps of himself on his phone and texts them to Gibson. With leaden emphasis, The Fall connects Spector’s exploits to the detective’s. They mirror each other. 
And as she learns more about the killer, she cannot hide her admiration. ‘He’s intelligent, even highly intelligent,’ she murmurs. The rape fantasy has become an ego trip.
All the talk in the police station is complimentary. This criminal has to be physically and mentally far stronger than most men. His break-ins are meticulous, his planning sophisticated. Above all, he kills because he feels more deeply than ordinary people. ‘It’s not that he’s devoid of emotion at all,’ Gibson muses. ‘Maybe it’s the reverse.’
In the most ridiculous scene of all, Gibson sets up a press conference. As if to illustrate the sexual hold that the killer exerts from a distance over all women, her blouse bursts open. Not just one button, but two or three, pop apart. 
She sits there with her cleavage bare to the news cameras and is oblivious. 
Because its morality is so skewed, it is impossible for The Fall to reach a satisfying conclusion. The show takes its name from a poem by TS Eliot, The Hollow Men. The murderer quotes it in his pornographic scrapbook:
‘Between the idea 
And the reality,
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow.’
The conclusion of the poem is much better known, and viewers who watch tonight’s final part should be warned that it is all too apt: ‘This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper.’

Lean in green: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows off her slender model body as she laps up the sun with Jason Statham

They're just two of the big stars that have jetted into the South of France this week ahead of Tamara Ecclestone's extravagant wedding.
And it seems Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and her boyfriend Jason Statham have got the right idea - arrive a few days early so they can relax in the sunshine.
They seem to be making a whole holiday out of the wedding as they were spotted on Sunday lapping up the rays together.

Green with envy: Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows off her slender body in a bright green bikini as she holidays in the south of France with Jason Statham

Rosie, 26, ensured she made the other holiday makers in the vicinity green with envy as she displayed her slender physique in a bright green bikini.
She sauntered along showing off her catwalk pose as she wandered along in the two-piece.
Rosie protected her eyes with large dark sunglasses and kept her hair down and swept to one side.

Green goddess: She looked happy and relaxed as she wandered along in the sunshine over the weekend

Model looks: She is in the region to attend Tamara Ecclestone's upcoming wedding to Jay Rutland this week

The model looked happy and content as she unwound for the day, wearing a long necklace as an accessory.
After she'd had enough of the sunshine she covered up - slightly - as she put on some denim shorts and threw on a white T-shirt which still showed the bright green bikini underneath.
She flew into Nice airport with her strapping boyfriend Statham, 45, over the weekend.

Out and a-pout: Rosie stunned as she lapped up the rays in the colourful two piece

Summer loving: Rosie later covered up slightly in a pair of Daisy Dukes and a see-through white T-shirt

And they wasted no time in getting comfy in their temporary home.
The pair were seen enjoying a tender moment on their balcony as Rosie wrapped her arms around Jason's neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Her grin was clear to see, and she again looked ecstatic as they stepped out for a walk on Saturday with the model dressed in a pink kaftan style top.

Love in: Rosie looked smitten as she tenderly wrapped herself around Jason as they arrived at their apartment

Holidaymakers: They've been making the most of their time since arriving in France over the weekend

Lapping it up: They seemed to be enjoying some quality time together as they got into the swing of their break

The celebrity couple are in the South of France for Tamara Ecclestone's wedding to Jay Rutland, which raises another question; who knew they were friends?

Rosie looked slender in a pair of grey cropped trousers with zip detailing on the hips and ankles as she travelled into the region.
Rosie and Jason are two of hundreds of celebrity guests expected to witness Formula One heiress Tamara's nuptials to city trader Jay Rutland.

Matching: They arrived in style as they jetted in wearing co-ordinating tan coloured outfits

Tamara's billionaire father Bernie is expected to foot the bill for the multi-million pound wedding, which comes two years after he forked out £12million for her younger sister Petra's Italian nuptials to James Stunt.
Tamara and Jay, who announced their engagement in February after a few weeks of dating, have block-booked all 73 rooms of the luxury hotel at a cost of £600,000.

Moving on! Jason Segel walks arm-in-arm with his new blonde girlfriend as they stock up with household goods

As they walked together Jason, 33, cast her admiring glances, while she in turn looked delighted by his attention.
And with a trip to a couple of home store before their low key meal, it seems the two are already comfortable together.
The pair seemed to be setting up home together, buying everything from pillows to kitchen supplies as they visited Bed, Bath And Beyond and Sur Le Table.

Nesting: The couple headed to upmarket kitchen store Sur le Table and then onto Bed Bath And Beyond

In with the new: It certainly looked as if the pair were setting up home together

The actor formerly dated Brokeback Mountain star Michelle, 32, for almost a year before they split up in February.
It was reported that the couple could not cope with a long distance relationship with Jason refusing to leave LA for Michelle's home town of New York.
She previously dated the late Heath Ledger and has an adorable seven year-old daughter, Matilda, from the relationship.
Michelle meanwhile is now happily dating fashionable New York artist Dustin Yellin, 38, after the pair met in Red Hook, Brooklyn where they both live.
Just this month they were pictured out together with Matilda looking every inch the happy family

Winners who were losers at home: Attraction were shunned in Hungary as they searched for success

They have just become the most popular people in Hungary – not to mention Britain.
But yesterday Britain’s Got Talent winners Attraction revealed that they had been shunned by their home country for years as they struggled for success.
Despite nearly a decade of performing, hardly any of their fellow Hungarians knew their names until they won the ITV competition.
Scroll down for video

Winners: The Hungarian dance group Attraction pose on the London Eye the day after being crowned victors of Britain's Got Talent

Yesterday, as they took a ride on the London Eye, their leader Zoltan Szucs said that despite their success in Britain he and the troupe would always live in Hungary – and now hoped for more opportunities to dance there.
He revealed that when they competed on a similar talent show in Hungary, the dance troupe made it only as far as the second round.
Unable to get bookings in any of their country’s premier venues, they were forced to open a dance school to survive and fund their performances.

But in contrast to their lack of success at home, they managed to do well in a German talent show and to perform in China as well, before winning over Britain on Saturday night.
Attraction’s eight dancers were crowned the Britain’s Got Talent winners with a moving performance that took in tributes to the Queen, Winston Churchill and the London Olympics, ending with an impressive lion finale.
Mr Szucs said: ‘I think it was a good final performance. It was dedicated to the British public.’
Asked why the British had taken the dance troupe to their hearts, he said: ‘I think the British public is a very emotional nation.’

Favourites: The dancers were voted winners of the talent show by the British public

The £250,000 prize money will now be ploughed back into the dance group to allow them to improve and possibly expand.
Despite the troupe’s success on the ITV show, all they ever wanted was to be popular in their own country.
In 2006, the group participated in the popular show Csillag szuletik, a Hungarian X Factor-style show which translates as A Star is Born.
Their efforts only secured them an invitation to perform in Turkey and then Dubai instead of the popularity they were hoping for at home. 
They first represented Hungary abroad in 2010 at the Shanghai World Fair, but the event went almost unnoticed in their home country in a handful of reviews.
Their biggest ever gig in Hungary was the opening performance at the Olympic Oath Ceremony for London 2012 in Budapest’s Palace of the Arts, but they were barely mentioned in the local press.
They performed the same act at the German Das Supertalent competitions and managed to get into the finals with it.
Leader of the group Zoltan Szucs said: ‘We have got into a few talent search productions in the past, but the success we have had with Britain’s Got Talent is nowhere near where we’ve been in the past.
‘In Hungary at a similar talent search show we only made it to the second round of the preliminaries. In Germany we have tried our best too, but we only made it to the 24 best.
‘Our name was not a household name until now in Hungary.’

Keep Calm And Carry On: The group performed a patriotic routine in honour of Britain

Shadows: The group performed behind a lit screen

He described England as the ‘land of hope’ and said he was pleased that his group had won the competition.
Szucs said that the lack of support in Hungary had changed since he appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and their popularity had increased.
Last week he said: ‘I mean even the cook of our hotel came out of his kitchen to tell us, he is happy to know we are in his particular hotel.
‘He congratulated all of us, and before we knew it, the hotel’s management gave us nicer rooms to stay in. That felt fantastic.
‘What I never even dreamed of with my band, slowly became a reality just now’.
Szucs insists that he and the rest of the troupe would always live in Hungary.
He said: ‘Dancing across the globe would be nice, but to move away for good would be just too much, I think.
‘Therefore I hope, that after winning the British talent show we could perhaps get more opportunities to dance in Hungary too.’

 

'I guess everyone grows up!' Justin Bieber's delight as he tweets picture of a bra thrown onstage by fan

His actions have made it very clear that he no longer wishes to be seen as a child star.
And Justin Bieber took to his Instagram on Sunday to remind the world that he is not the only one who is getting older.
The 19-year-old pop star shared a lone bra lying face down on the stage from his show - an expression of support from an overly excited fan.

'For the fans': Justin Bieber shared two performance images Sunday, one of which was of him singing and the other of a token of appreciation from an adoring fan

One less lonely girl: The 19-year-old posted an image of a lone bra that was thrown onstage during one of his performances

He simply captioned the picture: 'I guess everyone grows up.'

Because he started his career at such a tender age, Justin's fans are growing up alongside him.
Where shrilling pre-teens would have previously thrown stuffed animals and held glittery signs in the air, young women are now tossing their undergarments onstage.
Justin has recently come under siege for his reported partying, smoking and poor driving habits.
But it can't be easy becoming a man under constant scrutiny.

Growing together: Seeing that the pop sensation started with a teeny bopper fan base, it seems that his fans have also grown up with him

The Beauty And The Beat singer recently opened up about what it's like to grow up under the attentive eye of the modern-day media.
When accepting the Milestone Award during the Billboard Music Awards in May, he stood up for himself while a handful of crowd members booed.
'I'm 19 years old,' he said. 'I think I'm doing a pretty good job.
'Basically from my heart I really just want to say it should be about the music. It should be about the craft that I'm making.
'This is not a gimmick, and I'm an artist, and I should be taken seriously.'
