    Thought tonight's episode was alright, but I can't help but feel it's not a season everyone is talking about all the time. It's just like, yeah that was good. What's for tea?

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

    Call me shallow but I was disappointed that I was denied another Walk of Shame (I mean, Atonement) darn it!

    Personally, this hasn't the Wow factor of the original season, as we now know what to expect. It comes across as more of a medieval soap-opera IMO but none the worse for that; still lots of interesting twists and turns, and odd actors popping out of the woodwork (wouldn't be surprised to see Samuel L. Jackson appear tbh)... ;-)

    PS Is Jonathan Pryce the smuggest sparrow in Westeros? I still like what he's doing to the upper classes in King's Landing tho...

    You are shallow. And so am I.

    Last night's episode was a bit dull, and seemed to be over without much happening.

    I'm shallow also.

    However, thought last night's episode was a cracker! Can't wait for next week's now.

    Probably because (as usual this season) they finish the show with an "OH!" moment. The rest of it was mediocre at best though.

    Nope there were many great bit's in last night's show, if anything it was the ending that was little flat. Do agree about the season as a whole though which has been rather disjointed.

    Maybe this is why I felt a bit meh about the whole episode, the ending was just like a wet fart.

    They have changed the format around a bit, Season 4 was little bits of each character, like 10 minutes of Arya, 10 minutes of Sansa, etc.

    This season there is more focus on individuals in each episode. Like we spent a lot of time on some characters in individual episodes, but nothing on Tyrion for instance for 2 episodes?

    I have all the books of game of thrones but I am still on book 1. I guess, it is better to watch than read.

    Predictions for this week?

    Something falls down, a city burns, someone is preggers and her brother isn't her brother..

    No, perhaps not - I'm betting on cousin. On her father's side.
