So is no one watching Game of Thrones these days?

Surprised there isn't a discussion thread on here already discussing season 5...but anyway, here goes:

There's only 4 episodes left in the season (already, urgh).

I'm loving that Jon Snow has had a lot of screen time this season. Perhaps more to come in the rest of the season as well.


So who is more sadistic? Joffrey or Ramsey?


I thought that Sansa was going to be using her "manipulative" powers against the Boltons. Is this the calm before the storm? Is she going to start lighting that candle in the window to signal Brienne and Podrick for help?

I'm rooting for Stannis to crucify the Boltons' but in true GoT fashion, I'm wondering what the twist will be once he arrives in Winterfell for battle. hmmm


I'm a little disappointed in the storyline with Jaime and Bronn going to rescue Marceylla from Dorne. I was expecting it to be more exciting, given that Oberyn Martell's daughters were going to avenge his murder...but again, perhaps its coming and I'm being impatient about it.

I'm not really caring about how Cersei is wreaking havoc on the Tyrell's, however, I do believe that it's going to backfire on her. And when it does, I'll have the popcorn waiting. popcorn

That Littlefinger, ohgoon He is too messy for words!

I'll be jumping for joy when Tyrion finally and I mean, finally gets to meet Dani (and the dragons)...but I'm prepared to not see this come to realization until next season though.

Arya's journey with the faceless men is boring to me. neutral But it is refreshing to see her in new clothes.

So is it the idea that Bran next season?

The biggest takeaways from S5 thus far:

The Game's major players are moving closer to one another. Stannis-Snow, Stark-Bolton, Lannister-Targaryen.

Stannis may just win the Iron Throne. For a while.

The Starks are sowing the seeds for a resurgence in the North, and beyond, with Bran, Arya, and yes, Sansa.

The Lannisters are sowing the seeds for their demise. Cersei is no Tywin.

Danaerys will need to be Mother of Dragons to survive what's coming.

Love the show, havent read any of the books...but once the show is over, I'll read and see what the differences are.

-

Season 5 has been a little slow so far, and I really dont get all the backlash about the "Sansa scene" from the last episode. As someone on another site I visit said..."On the Ramsey Bolton scale of 1-10, that shit didnt even register!" But I cannot wait for Theon/Reek to raise up and DESTROY Ramsey!

Make it so, Number One...

Some characters storylines have veered away from the books so now its definitely not so predictable. Haven't seen the latest episode but its already all over the place what happened to Sansa not a book storyline.

Personally I'm more interested in Arya's storyline since it seems books or show she's has most control of her life and is the one most likely to survive. Jon Snow too. Oh and Tyrion. Will he be the one to show Dani how to"whip" those dragons into shape,

Jon Snow is the MAN!!!! Even with Stannis dangling that proposition in front of him to make him "Jon Stark"...I got all warm inside. Also, even though Jon is now the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, I still feel like we may see him, somewhere down the line, ruling Winterfell, that is if Bran isn't ruling it...or Arya. But yes I am interested in seeing how Tyrion will advise Dani.

I don't get all the backlash either with the Sansa/Ramsey scene...they didn't even show the actual act of the rape (and I'm grateful that they didn't) so I'm not sure what's so offensive?

Isn't interesting how Theon/Reek is sort of warming up this season? Even though he's still clearly in captivity, it seems that he's learned the rules of Ramsey games' very well. Well enough to try and beat Ramsey at his own game....one day. Although he's been tortured and castrated, he's no longer the "dumb Theon" from the past, he's become sharper.

Well I can say that after watching the latest episode that this season has been really disappointing. That said, there's still important info to take in, perhaps for a more powerful storyline to come.

I'm beginning to get nervous about Stannis vs. The Boltons. Davros is a wise adviser, so for him to be this concerned about it not being the right time to crush the Boltons, I'd be inclined to agree, however, I get Stannis' position as well. It's wishful thinking that Jon Snow would perhaps pop up out of nowhere with the Night's Watch crew and back Stannis. beg

And while I'm talking about Jon Snow, I understand his plan in an effort to eliminate the White Walkers by recruting the wildings, but is it really going to work?

I don't have any words really on the whole Sansa being held prisoner by Ramsey situation. I just hope that she puts the skills that Littlefinger taught her to use soon.

It brought a smile to my face to FINALLY see Cersei being put in her place. popcorn

The Dorne storyline bores me to tears.

Only 3 episodes left.....

The last episodes of S5 seem to be setting up a monster S6. I think the showrunners are out of source material, so they're having to take this ginormous universe in a different direction, and maybe don't quite know how to do it.

I am getting nervous as well. I'm not so sure the Black Watch can take sides in a fight over the throne, but Jon's attempts to unite the Wildlings, if successful, will be the Black Watch's way of paying back Stannis for rescuing them.

And while I'm talking about Jon Snow, I understand his plan in an effort to eliminate the White Walkers by recruting the wildings, but is it really going to work?

Well, the show needs him -- i think -- and I'd suspect it won't quite pay off the way we might expect, but it will move the story forward.

I don't have any words really on the whole Sansa being held prisoner by Ramsey situation. I just hope that she puts the skills that Littlefinger taught her to use soon.

She'll need some outside assistance.

It brought a smile to my face to FINALLY see Cersei being put in her place. popcorn

Remember what's stirring. The new Maester has Cersei's Frankenstein-like trump card recovering under a sheet. She may not stay there long.

The Dorne storyline bores me to tears.

Very disappointing storyline.

Only 3 episodes left.....

As you know, Number 9 is always the big one.

Well, as proven before, Cersei's "trump card" could be her saving grace...but could also backfire. We shall see.

nod Yep, tis true.

Don't know how big S6 will be, but yeah, they are pretty much on their own at this point. I guess that's why there have been a lot of differences.


I'm curious what the finale of episode 9 will be so I'm sticking.

I completely forgot to add my two cents about Dany's storyline. Now that she and Tyrion have officially met, she would be an absolute fool to not include him in her circle as an advisor, as she is quite short on advisors as of late. Really don't know what will happen to Mormont as we know he's in the early stages of greyscale.

Littlefinger is still scheming, but what will come of Varys? Will we not see anymore of him? hmmm

Littlefinger better leave Varys alone, he's the only one who seems to be able play the game and give a damn about someone outside of himself.

Funny how somebody you once found kind of dreamy you get to a point you can't stand, I can't stand looking at him on "The Wire", he irks me so much. With his short self. Is Sansa that dang tall, she was towering over him a few episodes back?


Dany, I don't know, I'm staying quiet on that one, there may be some other things up the sleeves, there may not be, at this point it's very hard to tell. Tyrion needs a bath is all I can think.


Somebody, forgot who, stopped the progression of Stannis' daughter's greyscale so Mormont has a chance. Maybe that's her whole point in the story to let us know that greyscale isn't necessarily a death sentence, then she freezes to death on the march to Winterfell. Gotta have a tragedy somewhere.


Maybe next episode we'll see what's happening to Bran and crew. I forgot as far as the show's concerned.

I'd of thought the wolves in the overall story would be utilized more, damn it - there's still 4 of them, that's kind of disappointing. I mean we saw Ghost, but that's not enough for me. And speaking of Ghost, they made Rob's direwolf look so menacing and huge, like a legendary animal, why does Ghost looks like my pet Husky I use to have, he's cute and everything but he looks like a dog, not a larger than life wolf.

Well, episode 9 is the penultimate episode that features the major event. ***SPOILERS FOLLOW***


Season 1 Ep 9 was Baelor, the most important episode in show history (IMO) (Ned Stark execution).

Season 2 Ep 9 was Blackwater, the best battle sequence in show history (IMO).

Season 3 Ep 9 was The Rains of Castamere (Red Wedding).

Season 4 Ep 9 was Watchers On The Wall (really good but not great Black Watch/Wildlings battle).

I believe Season 5 Ep 9 will feature the Boltons and Stannis' battle for Winterfell. But who knows.

Im finding this season rather meh. Though I think that's cause Jon and Cersia are heavy this season and I really don't like either of them. Arya is basically spending time sweeping floors and washing bodies and Tyrion has been kinda muted also. Im just bored.

Question: where the hell are Bran and Olaf (was that his name?) We havent seen them since the 7th or 8th episode of last season, right? Why do I get the feeling they will soon be reunited with Jon Snow?

We'll see since the other seasons were tied pretty close to the books, this season isn't, there's only one thing I remember that could be used as the shocker but I don't see it working in the show, and the setup wasn't done for the other. Eh,who knows.

Blackwater was a beast!!!! That episode is my shit, and as far as I'm concerned, the best episode of the whole series. It seemed as though the "Watchers on the Wall" episode last season was with the intentions of topping "Blackwater"...but umm no sir. I love me some Jon Snow, but Blackwater wins hands down. With the way season 5 is going, I doubt that episode 9 will top anything we've seen before, but I do believe that a major tragedy, of some sort, will occur. Perhaps somebody will finally off Ramsey, but that's way too predictable and most likely won't happen. We do have to have somebody to hate on there. lol

He's fully broken, and when he was whole, he was never particularly strong or loyal. Not surprised. The "bad" guys never fully get what they deserve in GoT, but Stannis is taking a shot.

Question: where the hell are Bran and Olaf (was that his name?) We havent seen them since the 7th or 8th episode of last season, right? Why do I get the feeling they will soon be reunited with Jon Snow?

Bran is doing his "jedi training" with the 3-eyed Raven, Rickon is on the move with the Wildling woman. The Stark kids may come together, I doubt it will happen in S5.

To me, "Baelor" IS the show. Blackwater is the most spectacular ep ever, and definitely top 3. But Baelor, to me, is one of the greatest episodes of TV ever. It is still the defining event of the story itself, turns the classic storylines on their head, and upped the ante for TV as a whole.

(Just my choice. Can't argue with Blackwater choice. To me, Blackwater, Baelor, and Rains of Castamere have legit arguments for best GoT episode.)
