Hi buddies,
aynone still watching Game of Thrones? By now I don't know what to think about season 5, as season 4 also left me skeptical about what they would show us in this season.
As a huge fan of the books and due to the fact that the series is drifting apart from the books, I get more and more disappointed. I know the scale of the books is too much for the series but where the first two seasons at least tried to cover most parts, they gave up completely on it now, in my opinion. Barristan dies? Even the actor was surprised by this. Why is Sansa getting raped? She didn't get raped in the books, hell she didn't even marry the Bolton bastard.
I think I have to re-adjust my expectations for the whole series now. They left out so many things that I doubt we will get a final ending for both story-lines now, at least I don't see it. No Dragon Horn, the whole Greyjoy party just disappeared completely, and where is the other Targaryen that still lives? I doubt he will appear in the series at all, as Sam will never become a Maester.
That said, the story around the White Walkers is further than what we got from the books and I hope the story they are telling us right now with them is at least to a certain degree "canonical" so that when Martin finishes the next book before Season 6 (as he promised) we won't get something in line from what we got to see by now.
So guys, what's your opinion about Season 5 currently?
