I agree with you. The season was mediocre at best. I actually started to roll my eyes at how often they are trying to hit you over the head with shocking moments now, they have pretty much lost their impact.

The best executed story line was probably Cersi's downfall, because you were wondering if she'd somehow get away with it. Her fall from grace in the finale was pretty epic.

So much of the rest of the stories just kind of became boring to watch. Even the Ramsey/Sansa/Reek ordeal went from feeling horrified for her, to "whatever" by the end. They dragged some plot lines on ridiculously long.

The Dorne parts were almost laughable at times, and not in a good way.

Highlight by a country mile was the battle with the white walkers.
