S05E05... mostly a boring a placeholder episode, as a lot of the season has seemed so far.

Worth it for the last 10/15 minutes though... Ser Jorah! Noooooooooo!!

Did you know that its actually true that Washington grew hemp?

In fact the declaration of independence is written on hemp paper.

I think that would blow Slaters mind!

He grew that shit up on Mt Vernon, man.

The engines of British colonialism were English oak timber and East Anglian helm (rope and sail).

At the peak of requirement it was compulsory for farmers to have a proportion of their fields dedicated to hemp production.

Imagine that... the police at your door... "we've come to arrest you mate - you ain't got enough dank gange."

Things have turned out well for Neil's cousin

[Wooderson]

Day 1: Dany hums and haws over justice being done and seen to be done. Nae fightpits.

Day 2: Dany roasts some innocent geez alive and feeds him to two dragons. Fightpits, yay! Oh yeh, get yer cacks off.

Solid writing.

Thats exactly what I said to the missus - "Result!" from incarcerated with threat of death, to banging Dany in 24 hours. On a scale of 1-10 of "pretty good days" it rates rather highly.

He didn't look too happy about it!

Stone men - heard them mentioned before but can't remember what context.

Ramsay continues to be the creepiest fuvker on TV.

It makes sense to me in the context of old geez popping off. But she's a fucking useless Queen.

indeed

[windy_miller]

Stone men - heard them mentioned before but can't remember what context.

They have the same disease as Stannis' daughter (greyscale), but covered over their entire body.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. All I could think of when Danny proposed was this

I think we can all relate to weeks like that

I guess they really don't have the episodes to watch her slowly making her mind up.

Isn't day 1 - Listening to everyone else

day 2 - I'll do what I now what to do

So halfway through the season - 5 gone, 5 to go. It feels a bit meander-y so far. Some great moments, but has lacked the oomph of S4.

Not sure there's going to be the climax at the end that we've had in previous seasons (Ned, Blackwater, Red Wedding, Oberyn/Tywin).

It's still good, but get the feeling that they've been limited by the end of the Book 5 and aren't going much beyond it.

[t8yman]

I'm fairly sure theres gonna be a big payoff at winterfell, sooner rather than later. and the preview show had details of some fairly interesting stuff too.

[LondonTom]

That was a bit of a meh epsisode apart from Ramsay being a creep and the Stone men appearing.(Not really explained why they started attacking and if they both knew thats where they was sent why did Jorah take that route?!)

The whole Dany/Meereen thing is getting on my nerves now, it doesn't seem to have made any progress in ages. Shes just stuck there doing basically nothing, as it feels like 2 steps backwards for every step forwards.

[Wooderson]

This season has been awful.

[gary1979666]

This season has been awful.

I think this part of the books was good as built up the tension for hopefully some fun and games in book 6 and had a lot of other stories, plus space for more character development. So translated into TV, it seems rushed yet slow at the same time.

[luckysalt]

I thought that was a decent ep, my first one in weeks as I watched the first 4 leaked back to back.

Half way through I was thinking this ep is probably the best so far this season but then it just seemed to lose all momentum, ah well.

[the_hedge]

It seemed to me that they have set it all up for Stanis to get his ass kicked by the Boltons. He seemed to to be confident and we all know what happens to confident people in GOT..... unless John Snow saves the day with the Wildings

[viberunner]

This season has been awful.

Yep. All the other seasons had lots of stuff happening, even the 1st season which was doing all the introductions and placesettings.

This season almost less than nothing has happened.

Take probably the best bit of the last episode, Ser Jorah and the imp going to see Queen Blondie. The story could have had the imp and the gelding just get to Queen Blondie anyway. Ser Jorah's use ended with him being sacked. But no, in the vastness of the entire middle east (or is it North Africa?) Ser Jorah (who hasn't been portrayed as much of a shagger) and the imp cross paths in the same brothel at the same moment.

Then again, the same happens in Wessos, a continent that is 3,000 miles long and 900 miles wide... but you're guaranteed to cross-paths at random with everyone you're searching for (Brienne finding BOTH Stark girls at random, etc.)

Which is all okay providing something of interest happens in the show.

[bunique]

It has lacked the direction of previous series - too many strands that aren't nearing their conclusion
