Warning: Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 5 follow...

Alas, another season of Game of Thrones has come to a close, and this time all fans are left equally in the dark about what's to come next, as the books have now caught up with the HBO series. Joshua Yehl, Roth Cornet, and Eric Goldman join together once again for an epic season overview episode of Dragons on the Wall.

First, we touch on the fallout of the events in Meereen, from there we move onto Stannis decline and if he is or is not lost to us, which brings us to Brienne and Pod and where they may be headed from here, from there we move onto the events at King's Landing including Cersei and the High Sparrow, then it's on to Dorne, Jon Snow and The Wall and the question of if he's truly lost to us, from there we move to Arya and the Many Faced God, and Winterfell.

Finally, we talk about some general questions, including the lack of Bran and Hodor this season and how we feel that effected the overall story.

We then delve into the reveals that the show will not only break more and more from George RR Martin's series of books, but will also spoil some of the novels that have not yet been released.

With seemingly - almost - anyone up for grabs, we talk about a group of psychics predictions on who will die this season, and if we agree or disagree. From there, we move on to social questions, which includes a comparison between Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.

Finally, we move on to the book specific portion of the show - with fair warning - where we talk about a certain character that we've not yet seen appear on the series and the chapter that George RR Martin recently released from the yet-to-be-released Winds of Winter.
