    I don't know anymore. I wasn't expecting follow up questions

    Ah well Snow might come back yet if rumors are to be believed. But yeah, I'm a bit disenchanted with Thrones now too. Last season already had some hiccups and this season was just awful with the exception of Hardhome.

    Agreed. Hardhome was a real high but the rest seemed very rushed, could've done with some slow exposition episodes - think 10 a season is too few (Lost had 24)! Suspect that's purely down to finances though...

    At least it's caught up with the books so everyone is equalling in the dark

    Err. Thank you! Obviously "(No Spoilers!)" shouldn't have been in brackets and had a few extra exclamation marks!

    Certainly don't agree that it was a snooze fest, especially compared to episode 1 but I do agree about the level of impact if they'd left it longer and also the knee jerk reaction comment. However I read somewhere that GRRM had stated a long time ago that that character was one of the few central remaining ones so I suppose it was a fairly safe bet to foretell that turn of events, and the media hype may have just made it seem like a knee jerk reaction.

    Eitherway certainly looking forward to next weeks installment to see where this goes.

    Re: Game of Thrones Season 5 Discussion (No Spoilers!)

    I had to take a breath and man up at the end of the last episode, nearly got to me! Like I've said elsewhere the idea we've laughed at him for 5 years only for the tragedy of why he was that way to unfold now really give contrast to the scene. Superbly acted and shot and the musical score was incredible as always.

    It know it's a good episode when you're still thinking about it the next day...

    Episode 5 was absolutely beautiful. Describing what happened to a friend and I don't think the acting/writing/directing could have been done any better at all.
