The Gift of Unremarkability

Warning: Spoilers
5/10

Best Part: Master Aemon's death. It's just amazing.

Worst Part: Tyrion's chains being cut off by just this random guy. It's not horribly egregious it's just... what? Like, what?

Runner Up Worst Part #1: The scene with the Sandsnakes started off with the Sandsnakes still being stupid but at least Bronn was funny. And then the poison hit and... yeah.

Runner Up Worst Part #2: Fine, it may be unfair to pair these together, but I will anyway. Both of Olenna's scenes are... ugh. Her scene with Littlefinger has her being great but Littlefinger continues to make no sense. She also has a scene with the High Sparrow in which she's uncharacteristically awful at reading people and situations and just... how, after having a decent amount of experience with the High Sparrow and the Sparrows, does she think the High Sparrow is fully devoted to Cersei? It makes sense for Cersei to think this, but not Olenna.

Best and Worst Part: This episode just isn't very memorable at all. This would have been bad early in the show, but in Season 5 it's kind of a blessing.
