Worst Game of Thrones Plot Mistakes
If you’re yet to watch the first five seasons of Game of Thrones, we recommend that you leave. If you’re eagerly awaiting the premiere of season six, let us make your pain a bit more endurable. You’ve undoubtedly noticed just how stupid and implausible some plot points have been so far. Know what we mean already!? If you don’t or if you want to see whether you’re annoyed by the same things that we are, read on.
Robb Stark’s Love Story
Via: rollingstone.com
In our culture we’re sympathetic towards love, especially if it’s reciprocated – let the lovebirds have a go at it, right? However, there are times when it’s just not the right choice. Like in Robb’s case. Man, you could have been a king, you were one. You could have helped your whole nation. You chose to marry the girl you love and die. Didn’t you see it coming?
Littlefinger’s Endless Meddling

Littlefinger is a bit like this invincible superhero whose gun never runs out of bullets, just that he operates with his mouth instead of a pistol; and that mouth never shuts. A lie chases a lie, and it makes you wonder: how come Petyr Baelish’s numerous enemies haven’t yet contacted each other to find out that he’s serving different information to different people?
How The Sparrows Are Suddenly Omnipotent

You just don’t become so powerful overnight. The High Sparrow and his cronies managed to imprison the Queen herself, their King’s mother, and it’s not a feat to me underestimated. Can you imagine someone doing the same to Elizabeth II? You need serious backing to do that. Let’s just hope that this unlikely situation doesn’t hold and the power balance comes back to normal in season six.
Back to Ned Stark…

It might all run in the genes; just think who raised Robb for his bad decisions… It came to no real surprise that Ned would be offed sooner rather than later, considering how awful his decisions usually were – and they came in series. We wouldn’t have had such a gory Game of Thrones without his dumb play at politics, so maybe we should be grateful for his sacrifice.
I Could Care Less or Wait, I Couldn’t
Via: buzzfeed.com “Every death in GoT visualized”
It was so fresh and unexpected when the main characters of Game of Thrones started dropping like flies, but after five seasons it’s just been overdone. We now know that everyone can die at any time and that they do, regularly. So how can you actually get attached to any of the characters? You won’t get excited if you’re just wondering what ghastly way has already been invented for everyone to bid farewell to this world.
It’s a Small World

I’ve not bumped into some people since primary school, and we all live in the same district of about 100k people squeezed into a tiny area, yet the characters of GoT all seem to conveniently bump into each other whenever the plot needs it. Doesn’t matter they live in a poorly connected, medieval area the size of a hefty country. Catelyn and Tyrion, Brienne and Sansa, you just shouldn’t have had it that easy. Not both times.
Stannis Baratheon; Says It All
Via: ibtimes.com
The story of Stannis is the perfect recreation of What Happens When the Wrong Guy Has Too Much Power. He will subdue all his decision to Melisandre in one minute just to tell her to go to hell in the next one. What about everything that got wrecked in the meantime? Doesn’t matter, at least Stannis is finally on the right path… Yeah, I wouldn’t want to have this guy ruling over me, be his claim stronger than the Rock.
Will It Fall Apart?

It’s not like this one has already come to life as the series is still with us, but… When you look at how complicated the plot has become, you just can’t help but think it’s not going to work about. What’s happened to the Brotherhood Without Banners? Have they lost the script for scenes with Bran somewhere? Will the White Walkers finally get some? Waiting for season six to answer at least some of the numerous questions.
