The blood and viscera flies in many scenes, and it’s much more graphic than it has been in prior episodes. The story continues on and gets really gory, far more gory than previous episodes. The illusion of choice, however strong an illusion it might be, was broken as soon as the episode started and it discouraged me from playing the game by making decisions as I thought the characters would, and instead encouraged me to try to “win” with my choices with the prior knowledge I had. You don’t particularly care about, say, selling your sister into marriage because you know she isn’t the person Ramsay marries in the end, and you certainly don’t want to make any move to attack him, because you know he is still alive in the main storyline. So your choices don’t feel like they matter here. Anyone who has been following the show or the books knows that Ramsay, the evil person he is, survives. This episode kicks off with Rodrick talking with Ramsay Bolton, and oddly enough, that’s the first problem the episode encounters. It makes you feel so bad about the characters and the whole Game of Thrones universe that you just kind of want to give up. Rather, it’s a depressing and discouraging one.
I wouldn’t say Episode 5, A Nest of Vipers, is a bad game. So what happens when you put those together? Something that’s not very fun.
