GAME OF THRONES MISSING SUBTITLES SEASON 5 SERIES
GAME OF THRONES MISSING SUBTITLES SEASON 5 TV

Back in my review for 'High Sparrow,' I was pretty sure the show wouldn't decide to trap and brutalize Sansa again. I objected because the show was repeating itself and it's better than that. I didn't have a problem with 'terrible things happening to good people' because, well, that's the show. As soon as Littlefinger left, Sansa once again found herself back within the confines of an extremely abusive situation. So we were led to believe that we'd be getting a stronger, more cunning Sansa. Convincing her to enter into a dangerous situation so that she might take control of her own destiny. There were several stories that dominated the first half of the season and Littlefinger emboldening Sansa was one of them. It didn't object to her rape happening per se, but I do hold many concerns about the aftermath. Which, yes, was also my main concern, when you cut right down to it, with Sansa's brutal arc. My concern was with the overall balance and pacing. I happen to think some of the show's best work has come from confidently straying from Martin's original text. My major issue with Season 5 has nothing to do with how true it stayed to the books. So whatever your feelings are regarding Season 5, it stands as a primer for what's to come as the show truly leaves the books behind. Whether or not there's a book to read before the next episodes actually air is irrelevant now. The Season 6 episode scripts are being broken and/or written right now so that casting can start and filming can begin in August.

The HBO series is on a 365 day production schedule. And although Martin hopes to complete Book 6, The Winds of Winter, before Season 6 airs, that's neither here nor there as far as the show's concerned. Which made for some truly superb moments (an argument can be made for 'Hardhome' being the best episode of the whole series), some shocking ones (Shireen! NOOO!), some head-scratchers (Ser Barristan's death), and some off-putting wrong turns (Sansa's spousal rape).

And so now the time had finally come for the show to root itself as a TV series and drastically branch out from the source code. Yes, still all huge moments from the final two episodes.Įven when Martin's books were cooking and sizzling at their best (meaning, the first three), the show was still a massive challenge to adapt. Because if you ask book fans what the biggest moments were from the two novels, most would say Daenerys' arena dragon ride (and Dothraki drop-off), Cersei's walk of atonement, and the murder of Jon Snow by his Night's Watch brothers. And secondly, new off-page moments were created to keep the thrills going throughout the season, so that these 10 episodes didn't wind up being completely end-loaded (though that sort of happened anyhow). So what were the solutions? Firstly, a lot of the new characters introduced in the books were eliminated (or delayed) and their stories were handed off to existing characters, many of whom had storylines and arcs that dwindled dramatically in the books at this point. Truth be told, these two tomes were one book that Martin strangely separated into two by characters, not chronology. The last two Song of Ice and Fire books (of the five released thus far) were A: not considered the best of the pack, B: filled with quite a few new main characters, and C: crippled by a weird, fold-over timeline that made it so that almost every big, shocking moment happened at the very end of the fifth book, A Dance with Dragons. Even before Game of Thrones' fifth season began, many fans knew this would be the trickiest road, to date, to navigate.
