So it's not able to top 4 even though we're only halfway through this season? k
Game of Thrones (TV)
Season 5 had high point and low points. This season it just seems that almost every good element has been muted to some extent. Jon is not interesting anymore, Tyrion has declined too, Jaime even more so than it was the case in season 5, High Sparrow is getting more boring by the episode, Arya's stuff is becoming repetitive and characters like Littlefinger, Lady Ollena, Jorah and Brienne have been seriously underused. The best part seemed to be the whole Three-eyed Raven deal and even that is now over.ChristNolan wrote:Lol you prefer season 5 to this?
@Vader: Fans seem to dig this season other than the piss poor first episode. At least more than the previous season. But critics definitely not.

The metacritic score is only based on the first episode because they did not send screeners this year.
How the hell is the s5 metacritic score that high 
George R.R. Martin revealed 3 huge shocks to Game of Thrones producers
Sunday’s Hodor revelation wasn’t the only stunning twist author George R.R. Martin revealed to the showrunners of Game of Thrones.
During the producers’ sit down with the author in Santa Fe two years ago, Martin famously sketched out a very rough plan of how he intends to end his saga in the books.
Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss tell EW those conversations included “three holy sh– moments” in particular.
The first: Stannis Barathon sacrificing his daughter Shireen – which was shown during the show’s fifth season.
The second: Hodor’s mind-bending origin story, which was revealed in Sunday’s hour. Martin has known the true meaning behind Hodor’s name since introducing the character in the first novel of the saga, A Game of Thrones.
And the third shocking moment?
“… is from the very end…,” Benioff teased.
Season 6 is the first year the HBO hit takes place almost entirely beyond the narrative established in Martin’s five published A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Previously the showrunnners pointed out that most of the show isn’t in danger of “spoiling” the books – there will be some points of similarity between the two epic tales moving forward, but a large degree of what’s to come on the series will be quite different.
“People are talking about whether the books are going to be spoiled – and it’s really not true,” Benioff said. “So much of what we’re doing diverges from the books at this point. And while there are certain key elements that will be the same, we’re not going to talk so much about that – and I don’t think George is either. People are going to be very surprised when they read the books after the show. They’re quite divergent in so many respects for the remainder of the show.”

I told the book fanboys that Shireen would burn in the books just as well she did in the show when there was a mass outrage and it is now confirmed.
What shall they do now that their god GRRM has betrayed them?

This was confirmed by Benioff right after the episode aired. Anyone who said otherwise was in denial. That being said just because you did not like it in the show doesn't mean you can't pontentially like it in the books.ChristNolan wrote:I told the book fanboys that Shireen would burn in the books just as well she did in the show when there was a mass outrage and it is now confirmed.

Hodors gonna hodor.
I love this show, mostly because many people admire sci-fi and look down on fantasy and this show is making a great case for the latter being able to convey complex ideas and emotions.
On a different note:
"But we had a deal, all done and dusted. I'm starting to think you can't be trusted." = great summary of the show.

Where did you take that from? I'd argue the reverse is more common.Batfan175 wrote:Hodors gonna hodor.
