The last few episodes of Season 4 was fine, but this S5 premiere was painful to watch. Especially the way they deal with Deschanel's pregnancy. It hurts the story! And the editing is really bad in this show.

Yeah, I'm baffled by the other comments. How did you like the following episodes in S05?
This episode has it all, from small and forgivable mistakes such as randomly disappearing attack dogs to plot-breaking and totally unrealistic killing of characters who could have been interesting and worth keeping alive. It's clear now that the show's creators don't really understand the source material and they are now trying to improvise some fanfiction to hold their story together. They are trying too hard to add shock value by killing off characters who haven't really been developed enough for anybody to be shocked about their deaths. The episode's ending was also trying to go for shock value, but ended up quite random and unnecessary. Most actors and production values are still good as ever, but even those can't carry a flawed story.

I like your criticism, but the rating seems a bit too harsh.
And while the murders in Dorne may not have been very shocking, the still gave the feeling that something massive will be coming from the South
