Okay, to be honest, in comparison to the rest of the show so far this was easily the weakest season yet. But so were the fucking books! Okay, Dance of Dragons is more good than bad, but did the meaningless piffle of A Feast for Crows escape anyone's mind? When I think what this season could have been had it been completely faithful to the books, I'll happily take it as is. I liked that Brienne actually met up with Sansa, yes I said it! I liked that the Dorne subplot, while slapdash in execution, at least tried to tie itself somehow to the main characters, yes I said it! I liked that Tyrion and Daenerys met, yes I said it! I didn't miss Arianne being locked up in a dungeon or Sansa meandering around in the Eyrie or Cersei bitching to herself all the time or Sam being angsty and miserable or hours on end of side character Greyjoys or Brienne just piffling about at all!
If forced to score it, I'd say 6/10. Sue me, fuckers.
