It may be June, but a dark and endless winter officially arrived at Riley’s in Haymarket on Monday night as guests poured in for the reaction screening of the Game of Thrones Season Five finale.

How the fuck does someone review an episode like that? Like, where to even start? How do we talk about all the good things about this episode when it all goes to shit? How is a person expected to be fully capable of forming sentences after an ending like that? Game of Thrones has done what it’s promised all season, and it has gone out with a bang. And yes, it broke the internet. If we can keep our cool for just a moment, let’s check out the brilliant parts of this episode.

Episode Nine of Game of Thrones is always the most exciting. The penultimate episodes of the past four seasons has seen Ned Stark getting beheaded, Stannis Baratheon’s attack on King’s Landing, Robb and Catelyn Stark being slaughtered and the Night’s Watch defending Castle Black from The Wildlings. Overall, it’s usually the biggest episode of the season, but that didn’t look to be the case this year. Last week’s episode was a triumph and cast members have said that next week’s finale will break the internet, so episode nine is just plopped in the middle. Will it be able to rival its predecessor or successor? Maybe. But first, let’s talk about all its issues, because it wouldn’t be an episode of Season Five if there weren’t any.

Looking back on the rather poor quality of this season, it shouldn’t be as surprising as it is. Season Four of Game of Thrones wasn’t amazing either; it certainly wasn’t bad, but it lacked the quality of the previous seasons. Season Four may have dropped in quality but it still blew audiences away with Tyrion’s trial (Peter Dinklage’s best performance on the show by far), the heartbreaking battle between Oberyn Martell and The Mountain that left viewers shocked and disoriented, Tywin getting his just desserts from Tyrion and of course, the television masterpiece that was The Watches on The Wall, an hour of breathtaking action and exhilarating performances. Everything bad about Season Four can be forgiven for those things, but Season Five has yet to do anything brilliant. Poor efforts every week, and whilst last week wasn’t bad, it certainly wasn’t great. Hardhome is the first episode this season to truly knock it out of the park, but does it make up for the rest of the season?

We were promised so much with this season of Game of Thrones. We were told it was going to be a game changer, and in all fairness that promise has still been there through the whole season, but we were continually teased and tantalised over what was to come. However, it does seem like we’ve finally turned a corner with this episode.

Game of Thrones is always on people’s lips. Whether they’re talking about how good it is, the shocking moments that have happened, or even debating about the books and the show, everyone is always talking about it. Unfortunately, it’s not always for a good reason. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken is easily the worst episode of the season so far, and you all know why. But let’s get through the positives first before we discuss....That.

It’s certainly been a time of transition on Game of Thrones as of late. So far this season the key focus seems to be on mixing up all the characters together and letting them see how they all get on. It’s been fun seeing Stannis party on down with Jon Snow while we fear for the safety of Lady Sansa and look forward to Tyrion’s meeting with Daenerys, but we’ve had a few episodes of this now and quite frankly, nothing is really happening.

It was a pretty weak outing in Westeros this week, though it had its moments. We got to see just how badass Greyworm really is, unnecessary boobs (Because boobs), a great start to a hopefully epic storyline, this, alongside the criminalisation of homosexuality, has sent the show down an even darker path, allowing it to spread its wings further from the yoke of its literary origins.

It was a very mixed bag this week on Game of Thrones... A VERY mixed bag. At times, it was great and at others, not so much. There some ethical issues raised in this episode, the best performance ever given by one cast member, the worst performance ever given by another, and a new plotline that strays from the books and is frankly a little bit stupid. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. |
