The only thing that maybe was a little bit bad was Daenarys riding her dragon, but indeed it lasted so short. I mean, we even had the same kind of CGI in Lord of the Rings (Merrin and Peppin riding Treebeard), yet it's still jubbeled as one of the best movie ever made. You could argue that LotR is way older though. Still, I liked this season a lot. Edit: I mean, is there any other show that (even if it dropped a little bit in quality) can provide this kind of quality. I'd argue no. | ||

Not unless you count Adventure Time. I think its actually dipped hugely in quality, but it might just be that alot of the things i really enjoyed seem to be missing. That could have been a stylistic choice, or the evolution of the story though. There's much less cleverness now, and much more EPIC stuff happening. The whole show has a much less ominous feel to it, and its all been replaced by EPIC. I guess that's fair enough given that the show had to go somewhere, maybe it was even inevitable that it would take this course, but for me, and probably many other people, the setup was much more interesting than the current 'payoff' phase. Its still really good though. | ||

The drop in quality is more than 'a little bit'. | ||

Now it's "you win or you try again". People got punished hard in this show for stupidity and naivetee, not anymore. Now it's random unsullied paying the death toll, just like in Xena the Warrior Princess. Seriously, if episode 5.9 would be something the show started with (and I had no itch to find out what happens to the characters I like), I'd never bother to watch it in the first place. - I tried to save those people and I failed them! (no, they are random dudes you tried to parley with, you fool) - You atrocious acting is going to get us all killed, Jon Snow. Jorah throwing a spear at a harpy that's randomly just behind a HEAVILY GUARDED QUEEN. Dornish people making friends with everyone. Jaime appointing Tristane hand without giving at least a minute of thought (hey, that may have something to do with him having no say in the matter). The Sand widow befriending Jaime after going as far as willing to kill her own people just to take vengeance on his innocent niece. Bronn being punched in the face after leaving the most beautiful girl in the world in her prison cell. Deus ex machina dragons appearing from nowhere right at the exact time (you could argue that the wight attack in Hardhome was at least a reaction to Jon Snow's arrival, not a mere coincidence, but what with this?). Daenerys taking fucking 10 seconds to climb a dragon who just got a throwing spear in the exact same spot she climbed on, no danger and all. Special effects from the 90's even though that doesn't concern me that much as long as the acting's good. Invisible men burning the huts. Apparently people from Dreadfort know all the trails north of fucking Winterfell very well. (I'm sure every Londoner knows every tree around Edinburgh). Stannis burning his daughter alive for no fucking reason than to make the viewer feel uncomfortable. He's already having problems with deserters, that's his way to fix it?!! It is a clear message to his men "Hey, our food supplies just got destroyed due to glaring incompetence in camp security, but I'm a reasonable man, so here's my daughter burnt at a stake, follow me for glory and riches". What? Seriously, this has nothing to do with granny talk. The show's quality dropped below sea level. The characters are the same and even the story has common roots, but this is no longer the show I loved. | ||

Anything put that way will sound stupid. But yes, the writing has taken a dive. It started in season 4 already, with scenes such as the Dreadfort fiasco with Yara. | ||

2. The Dragon could have been attracted by lots of people and blood? 3. The people with spears were on the other side of the dragon and he burned most of them. 4. Northmen know how to move faster and easier in the snow and have needed equipment. And maybe they scouted the area for possible camp locations before Stannis arrived. 5. Stannis had a reason. It was told that he cannot got back or forward due to not having enough supplies and full winter locking them in. He just did what he did earlier when he killed his brother. We are talking about a guy that could not even embrace his daughter earlier in the season when he told her about how he fought to save her from grayscale. When she went to hug him, he just stood there like a tree. He is a sociopath and cannot truly love anyone. His men also follow the red god or would have abandoned him long time ago. The mercenaries already did in earlier episode. | ||

There are plenty of things you can question but your points are almost entirely dismissed based on just watching the show. If you dont know why Stannis burned his daugher you have not been watching If you dont see why Bronn gets hit face punched in you have not been watching If you dont pick up on the Bolton's having the advantage during the snow you have not been watching Tristane isnt made hand, you have not been watching. The Dornish king made it very clear why he is being friendly, you have not been watching. | ||

Its too much EPIC atm and not enough actual intrigue/deception/drama. John goes to the Wildlings... Suddenly ZOMBIEATTACK. Jorah fights in the Arena... Suddenly half the Arena is filled with bad guys whiteout anyone noticing before and DRAGONACTION. Jayme and Bron go on a buddytrip, lets have them fight random dudes and arrive just the same time as the sandsnakes for more pointless fighting, lets also poison Bron to later show off BEEEWBS and hey lets heal him just because we have now seen BEEEWBS. Arya can walk into a Brothel and despite being sent out by everyone that has any say there, can stay because 1 hooker wanted some oysters, why? To Show us that the bad guy is not just a bad guy, he is even a pedophile. Stannis burns his daughter because, well... Its cold, in the North where it is supposed to be cold? I would imagine they would be prepared for really harsh weather, they went north of the wall to fight Wildlings ffs. Yeah, all this makes somewhat sense, but that doesn't make it good writing or anything like that. Seriously, it went downhill. Still enjoyable but not as good as it once was. | ||

And to people saying that Stannis' behaviour is implausible. There are many reasons to think the opposite, but aside from that, if all the character acted in the way you'd expect them, the show would be extremely boring. I waited until the last second for Stannis to stop the stake, but when he didn't , I wasn't surprised at all. Sounds like people are just being mad because of how Shireen died, it will pass. | ||

You can argue it is not in his character but the why is entirely clear, he says it minutes before. He is stuck in the snow. cant go forward because of the weather and he has not enough supplies to get back to Castle Black. Every time we have seen Stannis since he arrived at the Wall we have been told he needs to hurry to beat the snow. He obviously gets caught by said snow. Mellisandra told him she needs his daughter to work her magic. He didn't need a lot of supplies to fight the Wildlings, He arrived with a fleet of ships who dropped his troops off at the coast and he marched strait for the fight and there was not a snowstorm happening. | ||

Worse than random dagger attack on near-dead boy and wolf magically shows up and kills the assassin!? Jaime and Ned meet on the street and random brawl occurs! Random zombie attack in the nights watch into Joer getting attacked.. somehow? Tyrion and Cat en route to the vale... OH NO MOUNTAIN MEN SHOW UP AND ATTACK. I mean shit guys, the show's quality hasn't changed as dramatically as you're making out. (One thing has changed between then and now... but alas, this is the non-book thread) | ||

Random Zombie attack was random and actually improved Snows Standing with the Nightswatch and actually intodruced Zombies. Mountain Men attack caravan near Mountains... Yes? Random Dagger attack? It was a single assassin and had a clear reason/motive. Wolve magically Shows up? Don't remember but the wolve but Wolve is Brans pet, his pet is near him, how is this random? The truely random wolve happened in this season at the wall. Its still a very enjoyable show but atm it seems like stuff is happening whiteout buildup or much tought about how/why this even should happen. | ||

I mean shit guys, the show's quality hasn't changed as dramatically as you're making out. (One thing has changed between then and now... but alas, this is the non-book thread) While others are overreacting your examples are bad. 1. Dire wolf sensed his master in danger, he arrived when he did because he needed to get up the tower. We knew they were connected and the dire wolf was around. 2. Jamie and Ned didn't meet randomly on street. Ned and Littlefinger left the whore house and Jamie waited for them there. 3. There was no random zombie attack, those bodies were found outside that day and brought inside. They rose up on the first night after that and probably told to kill the Lord Commander. Snow was living with Lord Commander being his servant. 4. Tyrion and Cat were attacked by bandits that live in that area, nothing strange about that. If you don't see a difference between that and Jon arrives to save wildlings and suddenly WW attack I cannot help you.
