can ANYONE explain how the fk those 2 girls ended up on the same ship as the guy? i mean, it literally makes 0 sense (try rationalizing/explaining how they snuck on/caught up...), given what happened at the end of s5 and what we see of jaime n co. in that episode...
like wtf. it's just bad writing, and if it's any indicator of the show-only writing, jesus christ i'm scared. they are going to ruin the story imo...
i really think that if they put that at the end of last season, people would be too depressed. it's overkill. imo it's good they saved it to kick things off here.
not sure if i agree with that, because i found it surprising and exciting. good way to carry over the nastiness from last season imo. good way to prep the newer viewers for what's to come
the dorne murders would have been much better if done in the last episode of last season rather than in this one. it felt like the writers writing off characters because they had too many for this season
I feel like that first episode didn't really go anywhere.. like nothing really exciting or interesting happened. melisandre's bit at the end was interesting but it's kinda transparent what the intention of that was
tl;dr hard to get everyone back on the ship with 5 seasons of material to rehash in one episode
you do realize every single first episode of every season of GoT is setting up the rest of the season, right? nothing ever happens in the first episode, i agree that it was a lackluster episode, but you shouldn't be disappointed or anything because THIS is how they do it.

isn't it hard to get back on the ship because it's burning LOL
in all fairness the story is still good it's just in so many places right now that there's significantly more complexity when telling it from a TV show's point of view than say, a book where you can just write to some reasonable point of view in one location and then swap to a more or less independent storyline somewhere else in your world. With the TV show you have to present coherent episodes and advance the story in the entire world by more or less the same amount so that you don't have Dorne lagging two months behind the capital and Castle Black two months ahead of Mereen or something like that.
