After carefully avoiding spoilers for months, I finally sat down to watch the first episode of Game of Thrones season 5 today. I'm sitting there with my wife and, as the events play out, we're thinking how much we'd forgotten since the last season. We marvelled at the key characters who were either being killed off or finding themselves in pretty inexplicably dramatic circumstances. I couldn't work out how and why a lot of them got to where they were. Who the hell are they? How did she get there? I thought he was in Winterfell?
And then, as the credits rolled on a surprising, climactic death scene, it hit me... I hadn't downloaded episode 1, but episode 10.
omg
