Game of Thrones S5 — Season 5

Sucks we have to wait like a month for the next episode! lol

People like to hate on this season and, yeah, it's not as rip-roarin' as Season 3 or 4, but it is up to the baseline quality of the series. And anyone who has read the books can tell you that the dip is probably due to the fact that the best book, Storm of Swords, is the basis for Season 3 and a chunk of 4. A season that only had books 4 and 5 to lean on is obviously going to suffer. Excited to see if I'm enjoying myself this much in the hated final seasons.

After how much happened in Season 4, I can understand if people were disappointed with Season 5 slowing down a bit.
However, I respect the decision. After the show's world was permanently altered by the events in Season 4, it was nice to have a Season focusing on character development, and showing how the trajectory of their arcs was impacted by the last season.

I thought this season won't be as good judging by the reviews,but actually it was a solid one. Season 4 was just a tiny bit better though.

This was...pretty good. Not as good as the first four seasons but still good. The last four episode were good, but there was an extreme lack of momentum for the first 6. Hardhome was near-perfect and sticks out like a sore thumb among the rest of the episodes, and is probably the reason why I'm giving this an eight and not a seven.

This is the season where the authors supposedly started taking their own direction as the show has finally caught up with the books. Even though it's not a bad season per see, the pacing has got terribly slow again. I would have called it a filler season if it weren't for the last couple of episodes. It all ends with a huge twist, but considering the character involved, I am pretty sure that things are not as they seem, not without making good use of the long-waited reveal first.

Daenerys' storyline is obviously going to take the lead in the future, but I thought it was pretty since the beginning of the second season. Judging by what happens in the season finale, it looks like she is still going to walk in circles for one more season.

This season is the weakest of the series i would say, quite few of forgettable moments, frustrating scenarios, but there was some great stuff too. The finale tho, fucked me up, i need to know what happened now.

Easily the weakest of the first 5 seasons. The last 3 episodes are great, but the first 7 are nothing special.

I have no idea why Bran was totally absent from this season. For a person who becomes very important later on, he should have had more screen time. And this season includes two of the most horrible scenes in the whole show so far, which are hard to justify since they were not in the books. I liked the previous seasons better.
