No Dorne. No King’s Landing. No Braavos.

I have to say – and I’m quite aware that Ramsay Bolton is intended to be thoroughly unlikable – I really dislike those scenes. It could be the writing, the acting, or the directing. Maybe all three. Just, heavy handed stuff screaming – HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE!

I get it. Ramsay is a sh##. Is any sort of subtlety or nuance too much to ask?

They did the same with Lysa Arryn. Annoying, Crazy, annoying, creepy, annoying, overly sexed and – oh, yeah – annoying.

We’re not children. We understand that the unlikable characters are unlikable. Please don’t keep hitting us over the head with it over and over again.

It’s like having someone say every 5 minutes: “Saaaaay, Tyrion … you’re kind of a dwarf, aren’t you?” We don’t need to be told such things.

I thought the episode was kind of a snoozer, much like the rest of season 5.

As a book reader this was my favorite episode of the season so far.

I really enjoyed tonight’s episode. Not much action, but it seemed like they were getting characters into position.

I love Shireen. The scenes with her this season have been great.

For those of us who have read the books (and without giving any spoilers), they sure seem to be galloping through the books! Pretty soon, the TV show might actually be ahead!

I got your spoiler. I read all the books after season 1 and while a lot of stuff happens no conclusion is ever reached. It’s like a daytime soap opera.

The show is fun to watch but it goes nowhere.

[The following contains book SPOILERS. Highlight if you would like to read:

[SPOILERS] In the books, there was a character called Jon Connington, and he was the one who rescued Tyrion from drowning and became infected with greyscale. Are they dropping the entire Jon Connington storyline with Young Griff? [/SPOILERS]
