Btw not sure but I think I saw on tv that Bran would like to focus on his studies this year so he's not participating.

Yes and they've
so I'm glad he doesn't appear this season,it would've been more dragged out than it already is.

I'm not sure if everyone has watched the leaked episodes yet so I'll use a spoiler tag for this

Regarding a leaked episode


On the actual episode:

Mance...
I don't think that scene could have been more perfect. Performances, atmosphere, everything.

Okay it's confirmed: Benioff and Weiß are sick fucks and Martin is nowhere near as violence thirsty as those 2 are. Why on earth is Ramsay marrying the real Sansa ffs? I'm not sure that makes sense. Hopefully it will at some point, but for now it just seems pointless as fuck and just more pointless abuse for Sansa.

To me those 2 just like to make shocking gruesome things rather then focus on the story. That is why they keep on doing gay scenes as well as try to make things more sickening like killing a pregnant women which never happens and wasted too much time on Theon's torture part rather then other important parts. And also when I said to focus on Iron Islands, I mean to get up to date. Its because they were in book 2 parts rather then current parts though I have not watched episode 2-4 but I hope they updated the iron islands story.

Would be pretty boring if they only did straight sex scenes all throughout the series.

Don't tell me you're comparing gay sex with killing unborn childs and torturing/castrating.

I like it so far, but I don't want any more leaks, I'd rather have some balance between TV Watchers and pirates, we already have too many differences with the book readers :P

I'm interested to see what becomes of Brienne but somewhat scared of the revelation of future plots for the books. The more the show deviates *which it has so far* the better it would be imo. I enjoy the books more than the show, except for season one, that was excellent acting and pacing.

Stannis is marching on Winterfell “within the fortnight.” With Brienne and Stannis converging on the castle, where Sansa, Theon and the Boltons already are, it’s sure to be the focal point of the action later this season. in others words, the north its the place (not) to be

Not feeling at all this plot about those "Faith of Seven" despite them giving out a clear view of all the poor People standing inside Kingslanding and everywhere else.
Looking at their militant approach against "Sinners" i wonder if Cersei shot herself in the foot.

Poor Sansa now another tormenter interfers into her life. But this fella is unlike Joffrey not a joke.

Game Of Thrones, Season 5......getting disappointing. It feels rushed. Pacing is too fast for its own good. I'm starting to predict shit. I should NEVER be able to predict stuff when it comes to Game Of Thrones. I never did before. The magic feels like its been lost to some degree.

I knew it that once they begin stray from the books, it'll go down the road of crap.
Only good thing right now is Tryion & Jon Snow. Though the situation with Jorah was so clichéd lol The end of episode 5 I mean.

Once The stone men jumped the boat I KNEW one of em was gonna get infected and when Tyrion asked lol I knew it even when he said no. So generic at that point.

The first four episodes were decent but the pacing is too fast imo. Episodes despite being the same length, FEEL shorter. Episode 5 was boring. First time I just wanted to STOP watching. I forced myself. Sansa is still a fkn dumbass.

And seriously. All these deaths are getting TOO much! like c'mon man. STOP and give us a break. I feel so numb to them now and Barristan dead!? wtf man.

Episode 5 is the worst episode in the ENTIRE series.

However! Please bear in mind that I have NOT read the books so I dunno how much they changed but I hear its a lot.

What do you lot think?

Taking into account the fact that the actor who plays Ramsey has said that he had some very disturbing scenes in this season, I don't want to think about what's gonna happen in the next episode..
So far (episode 6) the pacing seems fast.

They should of sticked to the books and that Ramsey scene the only disturbing thing about it was Theon watching.

Atleast Stannis the Mannis, the one true king is getting the love he deserves.

Jamie and Bronn is so far the only change i like, and Loras continues being ruined.

That moment... Tyrion coming out and saying his name... entire books waiting for that?

Also, Cersei getting bitten in the ass. Tywin was right, nowhere near as clever as she thinks she is.

How did Cersei not expect that it'd turn out like this? Lmao, what a dumb bitch.

Anyways, glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels disappointed. Though the story is progressing, it also feels like it's been going nowhere for the past few episodes. S

The tables turn quite fast here, from this episode, the High Sparrow is the most powerful man in King's Landing, triumphing over both great houses there atm.

His punk ass, that's what's stopping him. I don't think even his mother being imprisoned will make much of a difference.

It looks like one of the most common things to happen to Sansa is having people who support her killed and then exhibited in front of her. It's getting boring.

And I was pleased about the Cersei scene. That alone made this episode worth the wait.

Don't forget what Cersei said to him this episode, what the first casualty would be if he attacked them. They would execute Margaery right away. Plus now they got his mom too, he wouldn't dare do anything at all now.

As for house Tyrell, remember what Sparrow said to the grandma with that you are the few and we are the many line, he can easily stop all their income by having ppl stop working for them.

Also in the books Faith has 2 military orders, but I guess they have been skipped in the show, so its not easy to take "those fanatics" down at all.

Honestly speaking I really enjoy the current season, even though quite a lot of people seems to dislike it because apparently nothing is happening. Dunno, I like the slower pace, for me it's better than killing characters in in every other episode. This week's scene with Sansa was outstanding, and I loved the ending with Cersei. Can't believe there are only a few episodes left!

That musical with coldplay LOL Tyrion's song especially haha. It seems like the upcoming siege on winterfell will be the big action/climax scene of this season after all. Looking forward to it.

Don't worry. I couldn't less for her either. I don't understand the hype. I mean yeah sure, she has dragons, but that's about it. There is seriously nothing special about her character.


Honestly, there are only a few characters from the show that I value a lot. Jon Snow, Theon, and Tyrion. Jamie used to be on my list too but holy fuck he's been such a bore for the past 2 seasons. I don't want to sound like a hater, but why is the writing not as good as it was before? I swear, there have been some really questionable scenes and dialogues in the show lately. For example, the Oberon sisters scenes are just plain atrocious. I can't tell if it's because of their acting or the writing. How the Sparrows suddenly transitioned into some powerful force is also beyond me. Things might have been explained/shown differently in the books, but in the show it was just too sudden. Their power spike made no sense. Makes me feel like there's absolutely no point to the whole Cersei/Margery/Sparrow plot.

I also don't care for Jami's storyline either right now. Oh, I almost forgot about Arya Stark. Yeah, don't care for her either. Not even going to bother to explain why.

Like I said before: the Winterfell/Stannis, and the beyond the wall/Jon Snow storylines are the only things I'm interested in. Back in S1, 2, and 3 I used to pretty much enjoy every single POV, but now I can barely stand most of them. I don't know if that's just me getting sick of GOT (i only watch it once a year), or that the quality's actually deteriorating.

I understand those that feel not much is happening. A Feast for Crow, the book being adapted (I know this term can be used a bit loosely), is mostly set up until things actually blow up. In comparison to a previous season that had much more momentum and intensity... this one can feel a bit lacking.
Doesn't change that its the best show on television.

Maybe y'all fell like that cause we're losing characters all the time. :D

As a book reader, I'm quite enjoying what they're giving us, since they are mixing things up, there's something new to us as well, so its always fun for me to watch what they will bring out.

And I kinda agree about the Danny plot, all we've seen her do this season is f**k Daario. :/ Things should go crazy now when Tyrion is there.
