Another fantastic season for David Benioff and D. B.
Weiss in a series that just keeps getting better and better. There’s a lot to praise. First let’s start with the finale; it’s the
strongest finale to date. Obviously the
moment everyone is talking about (and thankfully wasn’t spoiled for me) is very
shocking. But the real reason to cheer
is Daenerys’ storyline. How cool was
that? Then there’s the episode
“Hardhome” which is the best episode of the show. What an amazingly crafted adventure for Jon
Snow. Sansa’s life is certainly worse,
which is hard to believe considering her life at King’s Landing. Tyrion has found his new mission. Cersei finds herself a pariah. The only character that doesn’t really get a
very good storyline is Arya (it’s not bad it’s just ho-hum). I don’t know what they’re going to do now,
with George R.R. Martin still working on the next book, but from this point on,
unless they delay production, the series will overtake the books. That’s kind of strange. Yet if there’s any team of writers and
directors that can succeed at this is it's this one.
