Nine noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political

and sexual intrigue is pervasive. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his

old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official.

Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in

order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen's family, the Lannisters, may

be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous

and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the

throne. The friction between the houses Stark, Lannister, Baratheon and

Targaryen and with the remaining great houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, Tyrell

and Martell leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the

farthest north. Amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order

of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy

horrors beyond. Written by Tfilm78 and CajunmanIMDB. com

GAMES OF THRONES (2015) SEASON 5 RECAP & FINALE PREVIEW

I have watched very episode of Game of Thrones since it launched on HBO on April 17,

2011 and I have to say that Season 5 of Game Of Thrones: Ice and Fire is by far its best

and most ambitious so far in this fantasy series. We have been teased and given dribbles

and drags of its cable cinematic greatness past season from the Blood Wedding, birth of

Dragons, first images of the White Walkers undead army, slave rebellions, chopping off

the Jamie Lannister aka the King slayers hand, The Hound vs Brienne of Tarth in a battle

to the death, the sudden assassination of not only young King Lannister, but then his uncle

and all-powerful Tywin Lannister. And I felt Season 4 of GOTH was more dramatic and

full of plot twists to properly set up this action packed and exciting GOTH Season 5. And

HBO and GOTH producers smartly and faithfully follow George R.R. Martins books.

But I gotta say that HBOs Game of Thrones this season has blown the doors off

anyones expectations. I can sum up the nine compelling, well-written and powerful

episodes with two words: unpredictable and stability. Now one can say how can those two

words unpredictable and stability make sense let alone drive GOTHs devoted and rapidly

growing fan base crazy this season? It is Season 5 that Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) has

finally returned to Winterfell which is stability, but her arranged marriage by the Petry

Littlefinger Belish (Aidan Gillen) to the sadistic Ramsay Bolton (Michael McElthon)

leaves many unpredictable risks for Sansa. Cersi Lannister (Lena Heady) manages to

strengthen and empower the religious Sparrows which brings fanatical cult stability to

Kings Landing just to get her power rival Margarey Tyrel (Natalie Dorman) and her

brother arrested. But the unpredictable part is that the Sparrows turned on Cersi and had

her arrested as well for her past sins. After Robert Staniss army defeated the Wildings

Rob Snow (Kit Harrington) is chosen to be The Walls leader, but then unpredictably Rob

has to reluctantly leave with the Wildings leader on a suicide mission to make peace with

the Wildings. Daenerys Targereon (Emilia Clarke) settles in as ruler of Meereen before her

quest to reclaim the iron throne, but she is constantly challenged by Meereens former rich

slave owners who call themselves the Sons of the Harpy. Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline

Christie) finally finds Sansa Stark to honor her vow to protect her, but she is rejected by

Sansa and has to wait outside Winterfell until she gets a signal that she needs her help. And

Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) reaches Braavos and is accepted into the House of Black and

White and begins her journey as an assassin apprentice, but suddenly she jeopardizes her

secret training to settle an old score. And Tyrion Lannister manages to escape his death

sentence in Kings Landing only to find himself captured by slavers and facing castration.

So repeatedly in Season 5 of GOTH all of the main characters manage to get a solid sense

of stability in their lives only to have it ripped apart by an unpredictable event or person.

And despite the social media and feminist blogger driven controversy about Sansa Stark

getting savagely raped by Ramsay Bolton on her wedding night in Episode 6: Unbowed,

Unbent, Unbroken I could say this has been the most balanced, and adventurous seasons

for many of the women lead roles and supporting roles in Game of Thrones. And I kinda

think it is hypocritical for any viewers male or female to want to boycott GOTH over Sansa

being raped but her humiliation when Ramsay forces Reek to watch him rape Sansa, but in

Season 4 when Ramsay sexually humiliated and suffered a brutally painfully penectomized

Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) aka Reek at the end of Season 3 of GOTH. I guess traumatic

male sexual pain was not worthy to quit watching Game of Thrones for two more seasons?

The first episode of Season 5 actually starts as female empowering sign because we see a

flashback of a young Cersi Lannister being told by a witch fortune teller that one day a

younger and more beautiful woman will usurp all the power and prestige she has obtained.

The flashback then jumps to GOTH present and we see Margarey Tyrel now the Queen of

Westeros ignoring and belittling Cersi openly in public. This starts a mini-war between

them that brings back Margareys cunning mother Olenna Tyrell (Diane Riggs, who I still

love for role in the UK spy series The Avengers) to free Margarey and Loras Tyrell (Finn

Jones) imprisoned by the unmerciful Sparrows. And in Dorne we have Ellaria Sand (Indira

Varma) the lover of the slain Oberyn Martel and the beautiful, exotic and deadly Sand

Snakes--the bastard daughters of Obyern, Obara Sand (Keisha Castle-Hughe) Tyene Sand

(Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) and Nymeria Sand (Jessica Henwick). The Sand Snakes plot to

kidnap Princess Myrcella Baratheon who gets to strongly tell Jaime that she is in love and

marrying Prince Trystane Martell. Season 5 has many female-driven and important scenes.

And by GOTHs episodes 8 and 9 we finally see memorable scenes like the Night Ice Kings

massive and almost unstoppable army of undead, a giant stopping zombies, the King

raising the dead, the brutal burning of Stansas daughter Princess Shireen, Meereens gory

and bloody fighting pits, Drogon saving Daenerys from Sons of the Harpy and then we

end with the Mother of dragons riding off on the back Drogon. I am was in GOTH ecstasy

and cant wait to see the finale of Season 5. And Ill savor every second because I dont

know when Ill get a Season 6 of Game of Thrones. I easily give GOTH Season 5 $$$$$.
