Yes, I was disappointed with the cut to the very smurfing end of the battle between Stannis and the Boltons. I've been waiting for that trout since I finished the books and I feel robbed and cheated! It was smurfing nonsense.
Could have had a good two solid minutes of battle time instead of checking out Cersei's bits up and down King's Landing for as long as we did.

I want to "for the watch" them for that! That aside, great episode, great show.
Melissandre, do the voodoo you do.
"for the watch" them all for using Benjen as bait!
My mom was not happy with that ending.
She was a super Benjen fan and they gave her false hope!
Okay, no. It was because of Jon.
Also, I didn't think Thorne would do Jon in and I'm mildly disappointed that he did. I mean, obviously they were building it up all season for Olly to do it but I thought that'd be a great juxtaposition - the loyal squire betrays him while the dickhead jerkass would be like "NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING" would've been good but hey ho. Also, man, say what you want about Jon but he's pretty good at taking stab wounds. He took what, four and was still standing and able to talk?
Also also, those dumbasses didn't burn his body.
Curious to see where Jon character goes from here if they do bring him back. I mean, he obviously isn't gonna be able to stay at Castle Black. They'd just kill him again.
I have a strong hunch Stannis is still alive, too, since they didn't show him being off'd. Stannis Redemption plot for Season 6?
Did Sansa and Theon make it? I mean, they jumped a higher distance than that crazy bitch fell. What's gonna happen to Dany? Will Tyrion fix the problems in Meereen? Will Cersei get to kill that smurfing nun? Will there be war with Dorne? What the hell happened to the Tyrells?
FIND OUT NEXT YEAR MOTHER SMURFER!
I'm not sure if I'll survive the wait.
Bad news about that I'm afraid. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/14...dies-interview

Well, smurf.
Wait, no. Don't buy it.
Or maybe I do.
Eeh, I'll just assume he's dead. Can Season 6 open up with the White Walkers killing everyone at Castle Black?
It would be a good time to read the books while you wait.
Also, I cheered aloud when Theon shunted Miranda off the wall. That was awesome.
Jon is not dead he's coming back smurf this show man smurf it's life.
Is kings landing still poor and starving? Im just wondering because people were throwing lettuce
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Probably, but how many chances are you gonna get to throw lettuce at the naked queen mother?
I've made a handy "Are they dead?" guide.
Dead
Myranda
Myrcella
Meryn Trant
Melyse. I mean Selyse.
Not dead, except on the inside
Sansa
Theon
Stannis (didn't see it, tree went THUNK not SQUISH)
Jaqen
Undead
The Mountain
Beric Dondarrion
The Night's King
Jon Snow
I wish they were smurfing dead
Olly
Anyone with the surname Sand
Anyone with the surname Bolton
Olly again. smurf Olly.
They may as well be dead because we're never seeing them again despite what lying "Previously on..." would have you believe not that I'm bitter about being naive, gullible and building my hopes up or anything
Benjen Stark
Gendry
Balon Greyjoy
Brotherhood Without Banners
I'm not really concerned about Jon because I have a sneaking suspicion he will be brought back and most likely be a darker version than he was much like a certain Lady. Either that or the Red Witch will save him before he bleeds to death. She did have an interest in him before. I think the former is more likely. Also it's really weird that before the episode even started I had a vision that Jon would die looking up to the sky and bleeding out. Maybe because that's an insanely cliche death for a hero? Those religious people are totally dead and I'm okay with that.
If Stannis is alive, I can only imagine it is because Brienne would think that Renly would rather his brother alive than dead. In that case, the THUNK that was made may have been Brienne hitting the tree instead of Stannis's head. But that is literally only conjecture.
I think Melisandre knew when she met Jon that he was the true chosen one, and therefore everything that she did after this, like burning Shireen (knowing it would cause the troops to lose moral and flee) and fleeing back to Castle Black was all to ensure Stannis's defeat and Jon's acknowledgement of the chosen one. Not sure if she anticipated Jon getting betrayed, but nothing some good ol' blood magic can't fix.
But damn those snakes. That scene with Myrcella and Jaime was touching! That one scene made up for all the Dorne meanderings. And then to have that bitch poison her to death. Ugh. For once I'm with the crowd. Can't we have a happy ending in a plot arc? Couldn't Myrcella and Trystane just be happy? The Sand Sisters have now cemented their position from 'harrying annoyances' to 'wicked sisters'.
Anyway. Season 5 is over. What did you guys think of it overall, as a season, now that we can step back and look at it as a complete picture?
