Game of Thrones

[Millhouse]

I do want to say my biggest gripe with the writers of the show as of late is I got the impression they leaned on shock value more than creative value at times. The best example was the assassination in the finale. In the 'previous episodes' intro part, they flashed back to Benjen Stark. Now the only reason that was in there was for one specific scene of the episode, in which Jon was told of the wildling that had news of Benjen. That was it, all for shock. Another example I give a thumbs down review on was the burning of Shireen, all for needless shock. And then having Sansa basically raped when she wasnt even married to him to begin with in the books is just crappy writing.

Basically I think this season had great moments and not so great. Overall though was pretty good, just wish they could have re-done it better in some parts.
