5/10 Very mixed, some parts were solid 10/10 whereas others parts were 0/10 and so I guess 5/10 is a fair number. The Wall is the main location carrying this season so far. Love almost all of the scenes, even though it is quite obvious that Olly and Edd will be two of the stabbers this season or the next, but I guess they have to play that part up so show-only people will pick that up. 10/10 Winterfell was actually rather nice, much to my surprise. I mean, Sansa is very obvious about how she feels towards the Boltons at the dinner, not even toasting her own marriage. But the Theon bit I liked, definitely showing Ramsays mad and cruel side even when he tries to act normal. A little sad to not get "Don't make me rue the day I raped your mother" but I guess that is one more to the pile of great quotes never used. Myranda is meh, but there you go. 8/10 Meereen... Well, I guess they really want to show the Targaryen madness swelling up in Dany. Feeding the head of a noble family to the dragons, something not even the Targaryens used to do a lot. Annoying of course that there was no followup for that, no angry families, nothing. Turning it all around in the end and forcing the marriage upon Hizdahr?? Grey Worm/Missandei bla bla bla, all that can be said has been said. 0/10 Jorah and Tyrion. I mean the acting is good of course and everything looks fine, but here it's all about the deviations from the book. Valyria was a massive letdown, about as big as I've ever felt during the show. I'm not saying it couldn't look like this in the books and everything we hear about how there's still volcanoes erupting and earthquakes going on might not be true and the reason for no one returning from there could be another. But, I think we can say for certain that having more or less 100% of the story line from the Rhoyne just dumped over Valyria just doesn't work. Even a small hint of a taunt at the book readers when Tyrion says "This is not the Rhoyne anymore is it" or something like that. Also, though it might be a bit nitpicky, at the end when they're on the beach and Jorah looks back at Valyria, it's the wrong way, because they are to the right of it with the ocean in front of them. So either they didn't go through Valyria and are back on the wrong side of it, which makes the attempt very pointless, or they ended up on an island to the southeast, but of course if they did they couldn't possibly walk to Meereen from there, so not that likely. Could very well be a mistake by the production. I'll be a little kind due to the acting. 2/10 So, 10/10, 8/10, 0/10, 2/10. All together, 5/10. Ratings this season: 6, 5, 7, 6, 5 PS: Not even worth taking into account... Remember how Brienne and Pod were going to just "have to ride around" Moat Cailin? Well, I guess they did, " lol "
