Finally caught up. Not bad. Dorne was absolute shit which stinks because I loved it in the books. The sandsnakes were absolutely pointless. Ellaria could have represented all three and nothing would have changed. Her killing Myrcella was rough though.
The Wall stuff was cool. Glad Sam is off to go do his maestering stuff. Lord of Bones cameo was great. The fight was great, really enjoyed that addition. Jon's death wasn't as good as in the books, seemed kind of obvious, but that could also be because I knew.
Glad Winterfell stayed a similar plot with Sansa taking the role instead. The battle was pretty lame though. I hope Stannis isn't dead. Kind of lame ending for him. The Shireen stuff was brutal to watch.
Melisandre will definitely resurrect Jon, which makes me wonder what will happen in the books.
Mereen is okay. Jorah constantly fighting to get attention was kind of repetitive. Hizdahr was kind of a dud. I thought he was a lot more intriguing in the books.
Arya's stuff was pretty good. I don't really remember much of her story, I got to refresh myself. Also, could they just forget about Bran? That would be nice.
Cersei's stuff was really good. The scene of her walking through the city was as powerful as it was in the books. Curious why we didn't see Kevan at all though (or maybe I just missed him).
Good Stuff. On with Season 6!
