For the first time in a long time, I am completely underwhelmed and rather disappointed at a Game of Thrones episode.

The only interesting or meaningful advancement they made was in Sansa's storyline. Everything else was filler.

Myrcella is dead, Dany met more Dothraki, Jorah has greyscale, Arya is blind, Tyrion and Varys are trying to rule. Great. We knew all that for a year. Give us something new.

The problem is they tried to follow up with every...single...storyline, instead of pursuing a few and giving us that punch to start the season. And they didn't even come close to using the full hour (clocking in at about 47-48 minutes when you exclude the summaries and title sequence).

I guess on the bright side that means we still have the powerful moments yet to come, but that is a punch in the #### to people who had to wait a year for something, anything to get resolved from season 5.

5/10.
