Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 gets an in-depth breakdown for all the subtle details you might have missed! Get 20% OFF Manscaped + Free Gift with ROCKSTARS20 at bit.ly/2PSnbvF
Game of Thrones 8x05, titled "The Bells," features the deaths of several main characters -- Cersei Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Varys, the Hound, the Mountain, Qyburn, and Euron Greyjoy, along with the controversial turn from Dany to burn Kings Landing and its thousands of innocent civilians. Was Dany's decision at all justified, or did the show betray her character? Erik Voss breaks down all the subtle details you might have overlooked this episode. What was Varys' plan, and how might his death have been connected to the Lord of Light? What was the deeper symbolism of Arya with the horse in the final scene? Were Cersei and Jaime's deaths justified? What real-world history events inspired the Battle of Kings Landing?

Yes, because honestly, a lot of the events or the thought behind the plot make sense, it's just the rushed pacing and sloppy details (such as fatal stabs for Arya/Jaime, that could have been easily replaced with painful, yet less damaging wounds) that make it messy and confusing. With added details to development, more dialoque and utilizing of characters abilities, it would be mostly good, given that you can't please such wide audience as a whole anyway.

Dragon50275 agree! I’m still bummed that for years we were working up to fighting the night king and it was literally all over in an episode. And hasn’t been spoken about since, I thought they would at least bring the storyline a bit further with the night king, maybe someone else becoming one. It all just feels misplaced and definitely rushed now compared to how dragged out (in a good way) things were in previous seasons.

All of this just to shock and surprise casual fans that call others "haters", "nerd rage" or "nOt thE tRuE fAnS" for pointing out those things... And let's ignore the dumb writing that the writers said after this episode and make up some stuff to make it look good. Like when Voss talked about Jaime leaving Brienne and he said it was a bummer, or the horse and relating it to Bran when the writers even said its only a representation of the pale horse of death.

After much deliberation and observation of each episode in detail, I've come to believe that Game of Thrones owes a great deal of it's success to the fantastic scores provided by Mr. Ramin Djawadi most of which has always been an Oscar-worthy. After all, we expect nothing short of perfection from the pupil of Master Zimmer. Sad even the masterpiece of Mr. Djawadi could save Season 8 and that is saying a lot.
