This is a recap, which first thing first will involves big big SPOILERS so if you haven't watched the fifth season of Game of Thrones and just looking about how things going, you may refer to my review here.
.
And basically, if you are asking how I endure it, I don't. I don't. I barely endured Ned Stark's death for the sake of the story, then after some goddamn weddings, they finally decided to kill again in battlefield. Even after everything they did, I constantly believe that I can handle Game of Thrones. I can't be any wronger, and now I am emotionally traumatized.
Of course Game of Thrones will remain as thrilling as ever but I swear like really, I will not invest any more emotion attachment to be destroyed and having me severely wounded. I don't understand, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. I was wrong once, to think that after Ned and Robb, I won't give a damn. Right now, I realize it is not about my favorite characters anymore. Everything on Game of Thrones is literary killing me right now.
I am sick of another 10-month-waiting after the finale, but I guess I do need a rest from the mentally draining killings and tortures I witnessed this season (Sansa Stark and Ramsay Bolton? Please?). The lastest GOT episodes literary ended the entire legacy of The Baratheon Family. Nothing much, just Stannis Baratheon burnt her daughter alive and ended up losing and be killed afterward anyway. I reckon Robert to claim no true heir, and his bastards but missing Gendry are all slaughtered by late Joffrey. Renly was gay, so he clearly doesn't count. For the first time in forever, I feel The Starks is luckier than another family in the business. I don't even love The Baratheons, but this is too much. Burning Shireen alive is too much. And honestly, Stannis' Army is my only hope to get rid of The Boltons, because nobody seems to give a damn about them sitting in Winterfell anymore! Now I have to endure Ramsay's winning smile again (I reach a point when I hate him more than I've ever hated Joffrey).
But Sansa and Theon are running for their life, at least. They would be deeply wounded so I don't know how they're planning to outrun Ramsay, but I guess there is always hope in Brianne of Tarth and Podrick! And Podrick. I love him too much I'm constantly scared they'll finish him off soon.
As ending one of the greatest family with the worst kind of way is not enough for the annual bloody mascarade, I need to cope with the lost of Jon Nothing Snow by his own men (and I mean, by that kid). What? Why? How? What about R + L = J? What about it? Is that false, because it is everything I ever believed in the first place. The Crow knows nothing! I wish they are all dead when White Walkers strike. Oh yes I really hope they're striking really fast now to smash Castle Black and Winterfell.
Shoo. It is never better for the other Stark as well. We didn't see Bran and Rickon all season, but I honestly thought Arya's training is getting more sorcereous than it should. I'm not happy about it. I thought Bran's storyline is enough magic around The Starks. Even Arya managed to kill Merynt Trant, she seems to be blind now. Yes, blind. What in seven hells?
On the other side, I tried so hard to feel good about Cersei's downfall this season. Out of hatred to the new, younger, and beautiful queen, she made yet another worst decision by giving The Sparrow power. I thought I will feel good when she is, for the first time in forever, need to pay for what she did all by herself (who told her to send Jamie away now?). But I didn't. I'd really prefer her being dead instead; end of story. I don't want her to be another Theon Greyjoy I finally sympathized with. Yes, even after Robb Stark.
Since we're talking about The Lannisters; I believe the writers have done a very good job again this season with Myrcella. I still remember how they made me so deeply in love with Oberyn before killing him off, yet failed to avoid the very same trap with Myrcella (who is dead, too). I don't even want to be attached anymore even though Daenerys is killed by White Walkers.
The truth is, I don't even find White Walkers to be that scary anymore. Back in episode 8, maybe a little. After the next two episodes? Seriously, human are scarier. Benioff and Weiss are scarier. White Walkers are killing their enemy by worst, yet human betrays and kills their sworn-family. Plus, White Walkers are really cool and everything.
Season Six is still a long way to go, but it will feature very less line-up casts on it (though I believe Kit Harrington would still be there). Notice the bolded name? They are dead. I'm ever so sorry.
