My thoughts on the finale & though I've read the books, I won't post any spoiler without warning & they'll be in white so only highlight if you've read the books and/or are curious.
1. Cersei - Sick Bitch! Ewwww! She fathered kids by her brother & now she's screwing her young cousin. Nasty! Just watching the show alone, I'm curious how her storyline in the show is going to go in Season 2.
2. Tyrion - LOVE HIM! I foresee much strategy/comedy with him as the Hand of the King. I still love him for slapping Joffrey earlier in the season so if anyone can keep that brat in check, it will be Tyrion.
3. Sansa - Not one of my favorite females in the series b/c of her attitude (sorry but prissy girls irritate me) however I was pleased to see her starting to stand up to & talk back to Joffrey.
4. Arya - LOVE HER! She's going North & hopefully home. SPOILER ALERT:
In the books, one of the boys she's going to the wall with is one of Robert Baratheon's bastards (for those who don't recall, Robert is the dead king presumed to be Joffrey's father). He's the really tall boy that kinda helped Arya after the fat kid was attempting to bully her. Why is this important? Season 2.
5. Jon - The war going on at the Wall is just as important as the war between the kings. His storyline beyond the wall is one that really interests me. Mike is anticipating this one b/c he's been dying to see more White Walkers since we haven't seen them since Episode 1 (the creepy blue-eyed guys in the snow).
6. Dany - It was sad watching her with Khal Drogo, the loss of her baby & husband & her realization that most everyone had abandaned her except some slaves, those faithful to her & Ser Jorah Mormont. Her being found in the ashes with the 3 dragons was just like I pictured it when I read that scene in the book...well, except in the book she was bald. Lol! Not a big deal. After seeing that scene, Mike said she needs more naked time.

Her upcoming storyline is by far one of my favorites along with Jon's & Arya's. I'm really looking forward to it.
So now there are 4 kings. Jeez. Lol! King Joffrey (damn brat), King Robb of the North, King Renly (Robert's youngest brother) and King Stannis (Robert's middle brother). It's a war between 4 kings for that ugly ass throne.
