FacelessMan666 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (I know most will disagree with me here but anyway...) Ok, so obviously the scene at the end is the greatest scene in the show's history BUT I don't think the overall episode beats episode 10. Discuss.

Borodin Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 "Hardhome" was fun but it had nothing to do with ASOIAF. It was a near complete fabrication on the part of the show-runners - an action sequence meant to make up for what they knew was a terrible first seven episodes in the worst season yet.

Words-Are-Wind Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think the battle at Hardhome was the best sequence of the season—but it was overall not the best episode. Edit: Re-worded to clarify better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannicus Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I do admit Hardome was fun, but it was basically a throwaway episode. Episode 3 was the best IMO. But overall the season was mostly garbage fan fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeyne's Addiction Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 "Hardhome" is to Game of Thrones Season 5 as "Helms Deep" is to Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Barely mentioned in the books, and the best part of the films, as the filmmakers weren't shackled by the source material, and thus had a chance to exercise some artistic freedom.

shk12344 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hardhome was by far the best the epidsode of the season. I felt just about every episodes besides that one was terrible. Everything is rushed, with zero time to develop storylines or characters. The new characters come across as cartoon characters. And of course the usual pointless sex and nudity (except for the Cersei walk) Just really, really bad season except for Hardhome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen your posts around the forum and you sound like a D&D troll. If you don't like the show, why not stick to the books?? As has been stated many times: the show is the show and the books are the books. I'd love to see your adaptation! Characters would probably just read straight from the books in a twenty year soap opera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby b's bobby Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It was the only good episode this season so yes but it's hardly great praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Onion Knight Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I thought it was easily. It showed us more of the White Walkers than the books have thus far and it was a change I liked a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdallah Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 all this yelling about fan fiction. The show is allowed to make its own story lines. I would say episode 9 was the best, they did the most horrific kill, then they pull us back in at meereen. Overall it was the weakest of the seasons, but thats because they had to set things up for a season 6. 8 9 and 10 made it all worth it. Plus the season wasn't that bad. Freaking Ser Barristan Selmy took out 13 dudes by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr8zeppelin Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah, the battle alone made it the best of the season. Shoutout to episodes 2 and 9, though. Episode 2 - Arya reunites with Jaqen, Brienne was a badass and protected Pod, Jon elected as Lord Commander... Episode 9 - Shireen's death... Jorah in the fighting pits... Dany and Drogon...

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think clearly the last 2.5 episodes this season were more interesting than those that came before them, because everything previously was simply buildup to those moments. I guess unfortunately thats how it was always going to be, too many stories need setting up, and all the payoff came at the end. However thats not to say that there weren't any good scenes in previous episodes, there were loads. I think probably episode 10 is my fave this year however, it would be 8 but everything before Hardhome was pretty dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lou of House Reed Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I loved Hardhome I wish GRRM had a similar scene in the last book cause of course it will have even been cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnowed Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hardholme was in my opinion the best ever episode of Game of Thrones which also reflects IMDB ratings which have the Red Wedding 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grail King Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 For the most part I liked season 5, may not have been as strong as others but still gave me some good stuff. I especially liked Sansa story ( though it hurt deep :bawl: ) the death of Shireen :bawl: :ack: some lines got in there like KOTN who's name is Stark, Welcome home Lady Stark the North Remembers , Sam got some :devil: Arya's hall of faces ( that one face that looks like Cat I think we will see again next year, M Tren'ts comeuppance, Cersei's walk of shame and the newest KG. Now I wait and see how season 6 gets tied in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
