Not familiar with the books but does anyone think this series needs more bad guys that are plotting to gain power much like Darkstalkers where basically the whole thing is about groups obtainig power through con games and under the table deals?

Think about it: Most of the humans in it are kinda boring. What happened to that story of the kid with busted legs who uses the caveman guy to walk him around places? I would have liked it if he could use his mind control magick to have everyone kill each other as his form of defensive fighting. He gets into danger, monsters are roaming everywhere. They are about to be skinned alive by savages who worship monsters as Gods. Then this little kid possess the monster mind and sets it against everyone and wipes out entire villages and shit because he is a pokemon master.
You know what I mean? Add some horrror and gore porn into this series, don't just flash the blonde girls titties. I was angry when they put that same chick in the terminator movie but they didn't flash them in a movie? WTF??
Remember when supernatural and sci fi movies were horror movies and scary? And the naked stuff was not gimmick. You had explanations for the nudity. eg the time machine works only on living tissue. Magick in RPG works better whe the user wears basic robes without armor etc.

Finished watching season5 and think this would be better if they put more evil guys. (orderly evil and chaotic evil and some in between rogue evil which doesn't have any particular ties to any side)

The zombies don't have strategy and just exist. Who is summoning these guys? What do they do when they are not killing? Do they fuck between battles and rape dead bodies to gain more powers from the god of the dead? We know jack shit about why they are considered powerful. Explain these shits. Monsters are way too one dimensional. LOTR had all kinds of conflict between baddies. Eg the Uruk kai could be considered the best fighters, but the little goblin dudes are sneaky and have more independent thought. You'd think these guys would fight over who gets the loot and who should give orders and who should be the bitch in the relationship much like the war between the scientific elites (who make the weapons) vs the military elites (who do the fighting) in horror flicks. You could trade the science stuff for magick stuff. So there would be a cult that has knowledge on how to take the bones of dead extinct dragon and like the scientsts in Jurassic Park, bring them back from the dead. But in the fantasy genre it is through supernatural means (capturing the spirit of dead monster and forcing it to go into a corpse) not science. And one whole episde could be about trying to create a zombie dragon with disease spreading powers to infect people it touches with zombie aids virus etc And it can't die (it's soul is stuck inside the monster) but it can be ordered to cease possessing the host body through rituals that the good guys use that take time to perform during a battle. (use the crippled kid for that)

If you haven't seen it yet start fapping during the red woman bed room scene, you'll love it.

Spoiler!
interesting too because Bran is looking at the past and it affects Hodor in real life from that point until the day he dies. It's a pretty sweet little loop.
I predict that the vision Bran had of Ned fighting those knights then running up the Tower of Joy's stairs a few weeks ago will not be revisited for a long time. Final season maybe.

Reddit seems to think the last episode of this season.

Young Ned, Tower of Joy, Jon Targaryen Snow.

Next week = Benjen Stark.

It's a huge reveal. I'd be surprised if they blow that load so early.

Benjin has never been properly revealed. Interesting if they do that too. We (book readers) are sure he's Blackhands but that character hasn't featured much in the show.

Well blowing their load early is probably Bran finding out through his time travel, no one else is going to know until next season you'd expect.

I reckon this season ends with Lyanna Stark asking Ned to safeguard her and Rhaegar's son, Jon. Final scene.

I'm hoping it ends with Tormund and Brienne totally doing it.

Yeah well Reddit is on the money. I'm thinking this was a pretty big book spoiler, even though most readers have suspected the character Coldhands is actually Benjen Stark (GRRM says Benjen isn't Coldhands in the books though). Same with what's happened to Arya.

Well we treat them both separately now anyway.

Brienne going to the Riverlands makes me wonder if Lady Stoneheart makes an appearance this season?

The highlight for me tonight was the Mad King being shown in the flashbacks. Cool.

Do we think it's possible the Mad King was only "mad" because Bran time travelled and showed him the White Walkers? Hence "burn them all"'s real meaning is actually related to the Walkers, not Kings Landing?

Maybe the King went mad cause Bran talked to him and tried to change the future. They said the King heard voices, maybe he went mad because of the voices he heard......Brans voice

So is Bran going to have to go back and strangle himself with his own umbilical cord while still in his mothers womb?
