Kill the Boy

With all due respect to George R.R. Martin, leeway with the books has made Game of Thrones Season 5 the most consequential yet, and "Kill the Boy" set yet another strong precedent.

This episode gives me a slight intermission vibe - but it's a quite entertaining intermission, so that's fine with me.

Kill the Boy isn't as excellent as I hoped much like the previous episode, but it's still solid. Yes, the plot progression is still too slow and hasn't been advanced further and not to mention the new characters haven't been given anything to do. Despite those issues, however, everything still turned out fine.

The performances are still good, the script, despite how the slow the plot has been so far, is still well-written, the music score is still great, the scenery is still gorgeous, the sets and costumes are still nice, the directing is crisp, and the editing is smooth. So, overall, another solid episode in spite of it's slow pacing. :)

One of my favourite episodes of all time. Theon has a great role

The consolidation of the power of Daennerys. The alliance of Tormund. The survive against stone men and the blesssures of Mormont. And the meet of Sansa with Theon. Simple events, seductive for the great way to define the story. The axis - the love story between Missandei and Gray Worm. A well crafted embroidery of facts and inspired use of nuances - the expectation of Lady Brienne as basic proof.
