A little over two weeks ago HBO’s Game of Thrones concluded its 5th season. It was a very divisive season with an
even more divisive conclusion; with a lot of folks I’ve talked to finding the
season’s ending unsatisfying and alienating. Personally I found the entire season to be rife with
problems though they weren’t necessarily unique to this season of Game of Thrones. More this season is just the time when
the show’s many issues finally boiled over onto the surface, and I say that as
a pretty dedicated fan. However,
even though I know exactly what it is I found so problematic and distasteful
about this season of HBO’s hit fantasy show I can’t help but feel a strange
sense of reservation in my dislike and wondering if the problem really is Game of Thrones or if it’s more on my
end as a viewer.
