The Dorne scenes were certainly the weakest part of Season 5. But Episode 8 of this season would be in my top 5 favorite episodes of the whole series, so don't give up yet.

They need to do something with Jaime, he grew to such a level that to **** Cersei in front of dead Joffrey and then have this boring season 5, I hope he gets to come back in a big way in season 6.

What if the shows merge Jon Snows character with Cold Hands? What if he is dead in the books and they bring him back because he's a fan favorite on the show?

Good grief, what a boring waste of time. I really couldn't give a shit about any of the remaining characters, save Snow and Araya, and I keep falling asleep each night in the middle of episodes.
I hope this gets better, otherwise, whatever. I'm out. |

This season mirrored the books to an extent - a ton of build up and non action. That said, do yourself a favor and hang in there.

When the show began, there were too many characters, IMO. Now, the only remaining characters that I care to see have been shown little so far this season (Episode 6). I realize that it's difficult to sustain greatness, especially for five continuous seasons, but it's pretty clear to see why they're ending it in seven. |

The only reason it possibly ends in 7 seasons is that the main cast is only signed through 6 and their contracts will be prohibitively expensive for anything beyond that.
As far as 'boring' goes, I watched all of season 6 over two days a couple of weeks ago, and never really felt bored at any point. I'm disappointed in the widening departure from the events of the books but aside from that I don't think there's been any significant falloff in quality. |

I can't see it going past Season 7 unless Benioff and Weiss just take over the storylines. I can't see GRRRRR Martin getting enough subject matter out there for the show to continue on (not that they've really needed it in all cases this season, but you get what I'm saying).

I know your time is condensed and the books are encyclopedian in size, but if you ever find a way to either read these books or listen via Audible/CD, do it. Fantastic storytelling that just absolutely sucks you in. |
