    The Winter… Fu*k this sh*t!

    Oderwanie się od fabuły książek było ogromnym błędem. Historia już nie porywa, efekty komputerowe przeważają nad analogicznymi (wyglądają okropnie), w kółko słyszymy ten sam utwór w minimalnie różniących się formach.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This season was extremely hit and miss in my opinion. Even as someone who has read the books, I understand that certain story lines have to be cut for TV, it's just a matter of the medium. What I don't understand is writing completely illogical and pointless story lines when the good source(admittedly not perfect) story lines of books 4 and 5 are right there. I give this season a four because just under half of the story lines in this season were actually good and the other ones were just utter flops.
    As far as good story lines go, the main ones that were both entertaining and contained actual plot were: Jon/Sam, Tyrion, Cersei, and specifically Theon in the Winterfell story. Jon follows a logical progression given his previous interactions with the wildlings, goes off book to deliver the best scene of the season(Hardhome), pisses his brothers off by doing so and understandably gets killed in a mutiny.
    Sam finds himself only useful around books, so it makes sense that he would want to go to the citadel.
    Tyrion's rediscovery and him being given hope by Dany through Jorah and Varys works well. He uses his wit to get by and delivers some very entertaining television.
    Cersei has paranoia established by Maggy the Frog and her poor decisions reflect that. It all catches up with her in a very satisfying way. On top of that, the Walk of Shame and all the small council scenes were excellent.
    And Alfie Allen as Theon can act. He was the best part of every scene he was in, nails the Reek character. None of these storylines were perfect; but they were both compelling and logical, and they saved most of the episodes.

    On to the bad. Sansa, Arya, Dany, Stannis, and most of all Dorne were the true pitfalls of season 5. Baelish sending Sansa to marry Ramsay seems stupid and like it is throwing away his master plan; but it is Littlefinger so you never know. But, as for Sansa in Winterfell, it was a complete character regression. She just escaped from being Joffrey's torture target to being Ramsay's just doesn't work for character development. She goes back to being weak and is saved again. Brienne's role in the whole thing is pretty pointless as well; but that pretty much lives up to her in book 4(although I do believe the small details in her chapters will prove meaningful eventually), so I can't really complain.
    The Arya story benefits from good acting and an interesting setting, but falls flat on writing. She acts so reckless the whole season that it is hard to believe that she is progressing in the house of black and white and away from being Arya Stark. Also, making Meryn Trant such a monster was a poor choice in two ways. One because it provided a bunch of needless HBO shock value, and two because Arya killing a monster doesn't progress her down her dark character path. If anything it makes her more like Arya and a force for good, more character regression.
    As for Dany, the week to week events did make entertaining TV, but overall her story is meaningless and severely lacking a moral. Both her book and show story are an allegory to the Iraq war, with the Sons of the Harpy being a metaphor for terrorism. Through episode 9, she struggles with the occupation of Meereen and the terrorist threat. She can either impose Western law or assimilate to their culture and win over the people. Even though she chooses the latter, it all doesn't matter because every one in Meereen is a savage terrorist anyway. A horrible message for an incredibly popular show to be giving.
    With Stannis, we see the supposed greatest general in Westeros act like a fool. He shows no concern for morale in an army full of non-loyal sellswords by burning Shireen who had been set up the whole season as a super likable character. His entire march on Winterfell is a failure; and barring any twists, the burning of Shireen was completely pointless in terms of the plot, and was purely for shock value.
    And finally... Dorne. Horrible writing, horrible acting, and a horrible plot don't combine for anything less than the worst TV that I've ever seen. Nearly every scene was unwatchably bad, and even the shreds of plot that escaped those disgraces' to acting(Jaime and Bronn excluded) mouths made no sense whatsoever. Nearly every action by the characters seems like a surefire way to start a war yet somehow doesn't. The cosmic coincidences that bring the characters together are embarrassingly bad. And in the end, Doran's famed Dornish master plan ended up being avoid war with the Lannisters for nine episodes, only to start one via a sucker punch to get the early advantage.

    Again, hit and miss. The failures of some of the no training wheels/source material parts of the season have me worried for season 6, but hopefully they can learn from their mistakes. For example, RECAST THE SAND SNAKES AND GET NEW WRITERS. Also, shoutout to Preston Jacobs who provided some of the analysis for this review.    … Expand

    Once again, with unexpectancy, soulful acting and effective character development, Game of Thrones continues to be a lot of fun, although this fifth season was a bit more slower with some of the characters.

    It's hard to give GoT anything less than a perfect score when you consider how much of an "event" the show has become. With other great television shows, I find myself watching them as they (eventually) air on streaming services like HBO Go, Amazon Prime and Netfix. But GoT surpasses these other great shows in the sense that instead of being "Must See TV," it is rather "Can't Miss TV."It's hard to give GoT anything less than a perfect score when you consider how much of an "event" the show has become. With other great television shows, I find myself watching them as they (eventually) air on streaming services like HBO Go, Amazon Prime and Netfix. But GoT surpasses these other great shows in the sense that instead of being "Must See TV," it is rather "Can't Miss TV." It is a show that demands to be watched on Sundays at 9, come Hell or high water.
    That said, Season 5 had a couple of key failures. The first and foremost being the Jaime Lannister story arc. In seasons 3 and 4 Jaime had one of the most compelling stories on the show, suffering imprisonment, manufacturing a daring escape only to be captured again, rendering a gut wrenching confessional to Catlyn, then, eventually, undergoing horrible maiming. His story was so compelling, the show seemed to feel bullied by it (or rather, by their audience,) and ham-fist-edly insterted Jaime into a new story arc that was seemingly lacking in both character motivation and logic.
    The second failing, for me, came with Arya Stark's training in Bravos. For those who haven't read the books (that's a substantial number of viewers) the show was rather sparse in describing exactly what was going on. The mystery of it all was fine, for a while, but after some time I felt myself craving more backstory, more mythopoeia, more ANYTHING to help sparse out what in God's name Arya was doing with the faceless men. I understood the intention of building a mysterious "sense" around what she was doing, but too much of it eventually yields a diminishing return, and viewers start to kind of check out. Eventually the root of her training is revealed, but at that point the long and drawn out story had already left me dull to the ending.
    These faults aside, the show was just as spectacular as ever. The acting was superb, the direction top notch, the stories expansive and interesting. I wish I could overlook these shortcomings and give GoT the 10/10 I desperately want to give it, but the fact of the matter is GoT is only ten episodes long. This means a single "dud" episode can leave a bad taste in your mouth, and two bad episodes can almost ruin the experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Très bonne saison de Game Of Thrones qui aurait pu avoir un 9 si elle n'avait pas mis plusieurs épisodes à démarrer.

    Tout d'abord, les points positifs de cette 5ème saison:
    - Arya poursuit son destin et elle semble enfin toucher son but. Maisie Williams développe son personnage d'une manière surprenante. Excellente évolution.
    - La découverte de Dorne et le retour de Myrcella. Jaime décide d'avouer à Myrcella qu'il est son père.
    - Sans aucun doute, le meilleur mariage de la série est celui de Tommen & Margaery. Les deux personnages semblent davantage s'épanouir dans leur relation que précédemment (jusqu'à l'arrestation de Margaery).
    - Jon Snow était, jusqu'à cette saison, un personnage anecdotique. Il tournait en rond dans son rôle et il n'était guère intéressant, tout comme Daenerys. Ici, son rôle évolue: il devient Lord Commander, il prend des décisions contestables (sauver les sauvageons) mais il devient beaucoup plus sympathique. Son intervention chez les sauvageons permet d'ailleurs d'aborder l'une des meilleurs scènes de cette saison: l'attaque de l'armée des morts et des marcheurs blancs. Nous avons un aperçu du nombre et de la puissance de cette armée. Winter is really coming!
    - Sam & Gilly quittent Castle Black après que Sam ait protégé Gilly de ses frères d'armes qui voulaient la violer. Leur relation est fusionnelle.
    - Sophie Turner confirme qu'elle est l'actrice incontournable de la série. Elle assume son rôle de dernière héritière des Stark (connue) en retournant à Winterfell, elle prend ses responsabilités en épousant Ramsay et en se faisant violer pour sa nuit de noce, devant Theon. Une scène choquante mais excellemment bien jouée qui transforme Sansa en une véritable femme, qui n'a plus peur de rien. Theon qui jusque là était inutile se révèle être le protecteur de Sansa en l'aidant à s'échapper de Winterfell après lui avoir avoué que ses frères sont toujours en vie.
    - Le dernier épisode regorge de scène spectaculaires: outre la fuite de Sansa, et les morts de plusieurs personnages principaux dont je parlerai plus tard, nous avons eu la chance d'assister à l'attaque des Harpies lors de la réouverture des arènes. Ils souhaitaient tuer Daenerys. Mais elle fût sauvée par Jorah et Drogon. L'épisode se conclut également par la mort de Stannis, des mains de Brienne qui respecte sa promesse de venger la mort de Renly. Enfin, il m'est impossible de ne pas citer la scène la plus coûteuse de la série: la marche de la honte de Cersei. Scène poignante où Cersei, nue, marche dans King's Landing avec sa geôlière criant derrière elle "shame" tout en agitant une cloche. Cette scène marque la déchéance finale des Lannister et l'humiliation publique de la reine la plus détestée de Westeros.

    Bien que la saison 5 regorge de points positifs, de nombreux points négatifs viennent ternir la saison (ce qui explique la note de 8/10):

    - Beaucoup d'Immaculés meurent à Mereen, piégés par les Fils de la Harpie.
    - Les fanatiques de King's Landing (les Moineaux) envahissent la ville et sont omniprésents. Un climat détestable s'installe sur la ville pendant toute la saison puisque leur arrivée entraine l'emprisonnement des Tyrell (Margaery & Loras).
    - Emilia Clarke, toujours aussi mauvaise actrice, monoexpressive.
    - Quel est l'intérêt du personnage de Stannis? On le suit pendant 4 saisons pour conquérir Winerfell tout ça pour échouer à la fin. Son armée est en infériorité numérique et elle perd la bataille de Winterfell.
    - La mort de nombreux personnages intéressants (que j'appréciais): Ser Barristan, Aemon, Shireen, Selyse, Stannis, Myrcella & Jon. La mort de Shireen est atroce, brûlée vive par ses parents et Mélissandre.

    D'ailleurs, je conclurais par: quel avenir pour Mélissandre?    … Expand

    Parts of this fifth season seem at least a trifle overwrought, and a few recurrent issues with contrivances tend not to resonate very well. But Game of Thrones is still so consistently amazing that it seems at least a little curmudgeonly to niggle too much about passing qualms when the general impact of the series is so obviously intact and impressive.

    The worst GoT season, hands down.

    That said, GoT at its worst is still much better than 95% of other television, so stick it out to the end. I know I will.

    The settings are the show's greatest strength. They do a fantastic job of removing you from Earth and placing you in an exotic location from long ago. The characters have great potential, but some of them are just too one dimensional. Evil for the sake of being evil isn't much fun to watch, especially when the majority of virtuous types face brutality on a regular basis.

Some of the stories are dull and aimless, and some stories just seem like a contrived way to put bare breasts on TV. The shame walk at the end of the season was particularly egregious in this regard. 10 seconds into that scene we got the point of it, but I guess they needed a few minutes of bare breasts to meet the season quota.

    Specifically for Season 5, the biggest weakness was the Arya plot. It doesn't tie in with any of the other plots (which is a common problem for this show), but more importantly, it was just completely boring and nonsensical.    … Expand

    Season 5 is the worst of a good bunch. Whilst it has some breathtaking moments, along with shocks that are up there with the best of the series, its also back to some of the sluggishness of season 1 yet it all feels no where near as important *cough *cough* *Dorne*.

    The Jon Snow journey was great, seeing him grinding his way in the watch, he having tough decisions to make, we going with him in his point of view, having a lot of trouble, going against all of his brothers, that was a rough thing, the whole watchers moments in this season really got me very interested, that was really to see, some turn around points that really got me into what was happening.
    The Dorne Moments were horrible, the whole Dorne parts felt completely out of place, it was a not necessary thing at all, it comes from nowhere and leave us in nowhere, everything about what happened in that place was not interesting, maybe in next seasons that will have some importance but at this very moment, it was really bad.
    Arya Stark really got me very interested in her journey more each episode, the things that she was doing there was able to make me theorize there.
    The religious thing in King's Landing at the beggining wasn't interesting at all, i didn't got the logistics of that, somethings didn't felt right, but the conclusion with Cersei were really good.
    The Winterfell moments also was breathtaking, completely unpredictable, and in a lot of moments scary, Theon and Sansa always had me interested there, because i always believe that one could change the other in some way.
    Lena Headey did a different job in this season with Cersei, she now had to pretend somethings, pretend to care, and be a big fake, i think she did it perfectly, her character in this season had a nice journey wich can have a big impact in the sequences, she being taken down and being in a situation that she most likely never was was a big moment, and Lena delivered it well. Kit Harington had his best season so far, he could make we goo with him in his journey and also have his doubts together. Peter Dinklage have a little less time here, in relation to other seasons, but when he get to talk with Daenerys he really showed off, and every time that he speaks, he convinces, very good. Emilia Clarke didn't changed much, had some interesting things, bad choices, and questionable situations, she didn't sold me very well, but it was at least ok. Maisie Williams had a nice arc, she had some emotional moments that i trully bought, her story is one of the most got me interested in. Sophie Turner is once again a hostage, and i could feel her sadness and also her need to do something, i bought that concern and need. Stephen Dillane as Stannis Baratheon, did a good job during the whole series, his character has alaways been cold and manipulated, in this season he had some very nice moments, moments that gave him more structure, a nice back story, i believe he was pretty good. Ian McElhinney was a great warrior in the whole show, a old man that made me believe that he was able to knock almost anyone. Iwan Rheon as Ramsay once again killed in it, he was crazy, just like that, a mad princess, he made me completely uncomfortable in every scene that he was in, he was that dangerous calm persons, he had different layers in speaking and voice tones, even in the way that he look to others, he did a great job. Peter Vaughan was a pretty good character as well, his tone of voice was on point. Kerry Ingram was good as well here, she reading her stories and getting so excited about that, i could really see myself in her at some moments.
    The fight coreography still not very good, it feels really simple and i believe that it is damn time to change it. The big battles are nice to watch, but the one x one combat still is beyond simple.
    The cinematography here is very pretty, now that the winter is more strong in some places, they had some nice shots, and in my opinion most beautiful moments, a misencene more complete and full.
    The cgi of the dragons are great, the details are very well done. But there were some cgi moments that i didn't bought at all, it was really bad and surely tooked me out of the episode, the green screen was easily noticiable, and that did bothered me.
    This is definely the worst season of this show, but even with that the eventuality of the story, the layers of the characters make things to be better than most of the others.    … Expand

    I do not agree with those who say that the decline of Game of Thrones starts from the fifth season, as from the next. However, this season has no flaws and, on the contrary, ends with a sensational cliffhanger that I remember at the time left the audience desperate and gave birth to many conspiracy theories. When a show reaches this level, it's just perfect.

    Everything that was always good about Game of Thrones is still good. The ensemble cast remains one of TV's richest, from top to bottom, and even actors who seemed weak in the past (like Sophie Turner, who plays increasingly embittered Sansa Stark) continue to rise to the level of much better material.
