Every Error in Game of Thrones Season 5

Season 5 is often well regarded, but upon closer inspection, it's questionable whether it deserves the praise.

Only issue: Breaking the Wheel and Stopping it are two very different things. A stopped wheel can turn once again, while a broken one may never do so.

Sansa picking a lock with a cork screw is my highlight of the season.

Episode 6, J’aqen slapped Arya because she WASN’T sincere in hating Clegane. She lied as she no longer truly hates him and J’aqen caught her lie. I thought that was made clear. Great video!

I’m pretty sure Brienne meant for Podrick to steal another horse and not find a wild one lol.
Stannis walking and then turning around was really weird though.

[gfilmer]

The end of Stannis' arc was absolutely anti-climactic. The whole thing was a blatant character assassination. His army being stuck in the snow, the *20 good men* raid, and his sacrificing of Shireen were all rushed. The snowstorm wasn't that bad and The Mannis has survived worse. Ramsay practically has plot armor with him being able to burn Stannis' camp with only 20 men and his eventual defeat of Stannis, it feels like D&D are rooting for Ramsay to beat Stannis. It was very tragic how we didn't get The North Remembers or Stannis' victory against The Ironborn at Deepwood Motte.

You probably hurt Brans legs, stretching so much on some of these. 😂

[mechistarvily]

the most stupid thing of season 5 is how they ruined Littlefinger character. He is just genius in the books, and the way he just gave sansa to Boltons in the show is just... ugh

[BubblegumCrash]

The biggest mystery of season 5 is where did the Bolton hounds disappear to while chasing Sansa and Theon. We should all be concerned about these interdimensional hounds roaming around Westeros

[ivanschweizer]

Wait, so Theon throws someone from a great height and they die, and right after both him and Sansa throw themselves the same height and are just fine?

[constantinetranos]

The seeds of GOT's inevitable downfall were planted in S5. A Storm of Swords was adapted in two seasons cause was huge and worked. A Feast for Crows & A Dance Of Dragons were essentially one book divided in two parts and their storylines were butcherely adapted in one season. This is what Martin meant when he said the show suddenly stopped following his template.

[benwillis]

Some opinions I agree with, others I don't but no point arguing those. My thoughts on a few points:
3:09 Bronn goes along because Jaime takes everything he's earned away from him.
7:03 I read this as Arya not actually hating The Hound despite her saying she does.
8:44 Arya speaking common might make sense as it's a port city with lots of foreign merchants. Presumably it's called "common" because it's used by most people.
8:53 Daenerys says "Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell: they're all just spokes on a wheel. This one's on top, then that one's on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground". I believe stopping/breaking the wheel isn't about stopping is crushing those on the ground, it's about stopping with the 'correct' ruler at the top. Either way, a wheel that is stopped can move again. A wheel that is broken cannot.
11:00 old locks are pretty simple, any piece of metal could open them. Sansa knows Winterfell, she's probably done this before.
13:50 When asked how long "The Long Farewell" takes to take effect, Qyburn says "Difficult to say. Hours, days, it depends on the subject's constitution." Bronn suddenly sucumbs to it when he becomes aroused which suggests to me that something like the heart beating faster might set it off. Myrcella has an emotional moment with Jaime which could have caused it to take effect. I don't think we know how long Ellaria has it on her lips before removing it but her constitution is probably stronger, she may have built up a tolerance to it and she remains calm.

As for Jaqen/The Waif, I'm not convinced they're always the same people behind those faces.

[JasonHamilton]

Aria didn't hate the Hound, that's why she was slapped. She cared for the Hound even if she didn't know it, jaquen Hagar knew

[IAmAzarath]

There's also the fact that the Kingsguard was sworn to protect Margaery as well, they didn't need to wait for Tommen's order. She also could have ordered them to protect her herself. So the Faith never should have been able to take her.

[jimbrewer]

I still can’t believe they gave us the masterpiece of hardhomme having Jon snow kill a white walker and the night king staring him down. Then later Jon screams at a ice dragon while arya kills the night king. Like wat lol

[Zakeru]

Just a detail, but Valyrian steel (at least in the books) is stated to be very powerful and magical and it is specifically said it can indeed cut through armor.

[ultrabigfella]

2:00

Bro she's telling him to steal some, come on. Some of these complains are you just not using your brain.

[thegreatpage]

I think Arya was a bit conflicted about her feelings towards Sandor. I guess after all that time they spent together he kind of grew on her.

[shannond]

I would argue that Jorah & Daario finding Dany’s ring in the Dothraki sea is the most absurdly impossible! 😹

[GwalaGangCass]

Jesus by the time you get to season 8 the video is gonna have to be 3 hours 😭😭😭😭

[megamovieman]

I remember when Season 5 came out I was nervous because I heard they were abandoning the books, but I watched with hope anyway and... the first major red flag was when Barristan died, the whole scene was rushed and predictable. Then it was the Sand Snakes, those goddamn Sand Snakes... then it was Stannis doing a character 180 and burning Shireen, which honestly very nearly made me completely abandon the show.

Season 6 felt like a slight improvement, but I still couldn’t get the bad taste out of my mouth, and 6 still had issues of its own. Then 7 and 8 happened and... the show is dead lol
