I wouldn't vote if I wasn't voting with my heart. I can't rate a work of art even after I have objectively analysed it. However I can rate the feeling that it made me have.

I think season 4 was the worst, because some plots just dragged on forever and sometimes went nowhere. That didn't make it a bad season, but that made it the worst. This season is much more concise and to the point. Almost all of the story arcs come to a sort of conclusion and there were not many filler scenes. I'll aknowledge that Dorne was the biggest piece of crap we ever encountered on the show but that doesn't make the season as a whole badly-written. And I definitely refuse to admit that any of the writing was stupid. Some of it may be clumsy, weak, or amateur in the case of Dorne, but it never was stupid.

I don't.

Gave it a 10. Glorious finale. Stannis was my favourite part. Don't care if he's a better character in the books. Show Stannis is just so Richard III. Extremely satisfying ending for a character that is coherent within the whole series. I really pity those whose reading of the books prevents from liking the show. I just never think of the book when I watch the adaptation, I just assume it's a different story and that's it. I can't understand why it can be hard, really. I think that besides a few concerns (mainly Dorne), this season was coherent with the show, if not with the books, and that's all I ask from it.

Common tongue, else Jon would not understand them...

sorry, double post Why can we not delete our own messages?

Also, I was glad that we heard a piece of the Old Tongue, because IMO, the biggest inconsistency in the ASOIAF world (book and show both) is that wildlings speak the common tongue. There is NO WAY a tongue would survive for thousands of years with its people so separated spiritually and physically from the rest of the world.

Do you think that wildling woman character was Harma Dogshead?

I still don't know how that Sansa scene was illogical. It seems extremely logical and not-absurd to me that a mad individual like Ramsay would want to rape someone. He's done worse.

Speaking about the last scene of the episode, I've seen the word "illogical" and "absurd" used many times to describe it. Can someone explain how exactly that scene was illogical?

This is exactly my opinion. Word for word.

It's pretty clear that they haven't shown everything they wanted to show from the flashback yet. We will see more. THANK YOU. I've been explaining that for years. Well not for years technically but you get my point.

That's strange. But what are these 5% you're removing?

I gave it a 9 but that's because I like everything. I should have given it a 10, even. Awesome: The creepy flashback, Lancel and Kevan, the Sweetrobin fight, everything at the Wall, especially the last scene. Good: The Daario and Hizdar scene, the dragon scene, the Tywin corpse scene, the Unsullied assassination, the Harpy falling, the more-and-more cinematic mise-en-scène throughout the series. Meh: The Brienne and Pod scene (because we don't see where it is going rather than because of the scene itself) and the Varys-Tyrion dialogue that is quite slow. Bad: Nothing was bad. But to give you an idea, I think that a maximum of three scenes in the show were bad. Thing I found awesome but I'm not objective: The Loras/Olyvar scene.

This. A solid 10 from me. And I did read the books. Gods, some people are really pricky. This is indeniably great TV! The opening scene is extremely immersive, Moat Cailin's putrefaction and illness is perfectly nailed, Littlefinger and Sansa scene is really really awesome. Yohn Royce casting is perfect, Jorah's banishment is correctly heartbreaking, Jaime and Tyrion's conversation is interesting, and gods, that final duel. Of course it's a bit rushed, but hell, it's television! You can't expect a scene to last twenty minutes only because that's the time it took you to read it. I agree that Missandei and Grey Worm's relationship is bizarre, but shitting on the whole episode because of such futile details is simply being a dick.
