Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Overrated Episodes

10. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken (Season 5, Episode 6)

It seemed like a tasteless stab at irony to call an episode that featured the rape of a main character Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. In a way, that final scene with Ramsay did add to his notoriety, but at this point he had already castrated Theon, murdered a baby and skinned several people alive. The scene was overkill.

Besides containing one of the more controversial moments of the entire series, the rest of the episode was empty. Season five was where everything started getting a bit too convoluted. It felt like there was too many characters, all of whom had too little to do.

Jorah and Tyrion spent most of their on screen time running around Essos, having some genuinely funny interactions but doing nothing to move the plot forward.

There were more tedious back and fourths with Arya and the Waif, further solidifying that plot line as one of the most mundane and disappointing. Jaqen H'ghar seemed wasted as a character; for someone who was introduced with so much mystery surrounding him, he became dull and uninteresting.

After Oberyn Martell was introduced and quickly killed in season four, the writers were left with the sink hole that was the Dornish narrative. So, because Jaime and Bronn had nothing to do this season, they were sent to get caught up in that badly handled plot line. This episode was tedium personified.
