What I don't understand why they didn't stay true to the books last season. Sure, there was some material from the books, but they were butchered beyond belief It's Walking Dead all over again. They try to recreate scenes from the source material, but, not only frame it improperly, they don't give the scenes the same impact or build up they originally had. . They split Storm of Swords into two seasons. WHy didn't they split up Feast for Crows/Dance with Dragons in the same fashion. They would've gotten two more seasons without having to do original material, and Winds of Winter might've come out by the time we got season 7 finally.

I'm all for having strong female characters, but here's the thing. They're mishandling every single one of these. Look, I'm glad that Cersei finally got what's coming to her in a way, but that doesn't mean that they need to turn her into a massive idiot for it to happen. Seriously, arming and radicalizing a group of religious zealots? What'd she think was gonna happen? Hell, she was established previously as being smart when playing the, well, Game of Thrones She may not be as smart as she thinks she is, as Tyrion suggests, but still intelligent to a degree nonetheless . Dany is not much different despite her being one of their favorites. Sure, she can take a city, but clearly she has no clue on how to keep it.

Not to mention, they are rather inconsistent lately. Stannis was never a good person anyway, so everyone crying about him "all of a sudden" doing bad things is at least amusing to me. It's just that they decided to make him more sympathetic in season 5. Still though, for a guy said to have an army that's much larger than the Boltans, even after half of them deserting, they sure didn't follow through with that statement. Not to mention it was an idiotic decision on Ramsay's part when holling up for the winter was the better option.
