The writers post-Martin are just poor at world creating, politics, and characters. They write some lovely melodrama but everything since Dorn has been very poor. Their are so many characters I don't care about and a many that I just don't like at all. I don't care at all about Greyworm, Bronn, Sam, Gilly, all the Dornish (save for Oberyn and his crippled brother), the Greyjoys, and a few others that I can't even recall. Sansa irritates me, I really liked Quasimodo before she was a kick-ass badass, I really liked Cersi as a villain before she was queen, I enjoyed Tyrion far more when he was surrounded by his family as they acted as a foil to his intellect, I try to enjoy Jon Snow and Daenyrys but their acting and dialogue is just very bad, I especially hate how the later is has become the 'perfect good guy' of the show despite the fact she is quite tyrannical (I wish they would dive more into her hypocrisy concerning 'giving people a choice, fearfully following her or death). I do enjoy Jaime, Gendry (despite it feeling like fan-service for him to be in the show), The Hound (though he should be dead), Mormont (he should have disappeared into the horizon with ambiguity surrounding his fate), I loved Ned and Rob (I especially love how their honour, and their love killed them respectively, stupid decision get people killed!), Petyr Baelish, Roose Bolton (Ramsey was too comical at times for me), and a few other characters. I just feel so disappointed. There was a time I was hooked but I feel like the show jumped the shark during season 5.

Who's the cunt that has a gun to your head forcing you to watch it? I'll get the authorities involved mate.

Found this episode very frustrating but decent. Arya and Sansa arguing already . It's good but unnerving to see Littlefinger actually being Littlefinger again but between Arya's murder skills and Bran's psychic powers and the fact we haven't seen Sansa's "the lone wolf dies but the pack survives" quote from the trailer I'm not worried. Saw Sam leaving the Citadel coming, he's gone there to advance the plots elsewhere and hopefully he was half listening when Gilly said about the annulment. A shame we probably won't get to see Jim Broadbent's character crack and believe him. Jaime and Bronn escaping was complete bullshit on so many levels. Love this show but that was shit writing, no way Dany just forgets about coming face to face with the guy who killed her father then charged to kill her without wanting to know what happened to him. They didn't seem remotely surprised that he was alive, if they deliberately let him go they could have mentioned that. Tyrion getting into Kings Landing on his suicide mission was scarcely believable but at least they addressed that by Cersei saying she let it happen. I'm calling bullshit on her pregnancy story too, she's just saying that to keep Jaime around. And by the way, she's going to say he's the father even though she's engaged to that mad man Euron Greyjoy? Come on now... Dany burning alive the Tarlys was completely unnecessary. Beheading I could have accepted but again, why is she so ruthless with them but doesn't care about what happened to Jaime who directly killed her father and nearly her five minutes earlier? At least she let Jon go, I know he's doing what's important but he could at least send some communication to Winterfell about his plans, ask for some extra men? No? Anyway, cool shot of Eastwatch and the end of the wall and a great squad of secondary/tertiary characters to support Jon beyond the wall but no doubt a lot of them aren't coming back, but which ones? Jon - Plot armor - 99% chance of survival. The Hound - Plot armor, there's no way they bring him back just to die on this excursion? Maybe he saves Jon and that's his final redemption but I think he makes it out - 75% chance of survival. Gendry - Surely there's no chance they bring him back after 4 years just to die after 3 scenes? - 80% chance of survival. Tormund - Someone has to die here, and I think he's one of them unfortunately. I don't see how much more story he's got left. - 35% chance of survival. Beric - The brotherhood have been cool through the years but I also think they're dispensable at this stage with 8 episodes left. I expect him to go down in heroic fashion taking down dozens of dead men with his flaming sword. - 10% chance of survival. Thoros - See Beric. These two to go down together. - 10% chance of survival. Jorah - Torn on this one, I'm hopeful he'll make it out because otherwise why bother with the whole grey scale cure plot line? I can see this going either way though. - 60% chance of survival.
