Ok I misspoke, it's GRRM fucking it up and not the writers of the show.
It's not because I hate the show, its because I love the show that I'm "whining".
It's a great show that I not only enjoy watching for the story but I enjoy because of the care, skill and effort it takes to make something like GoT.
I'm not saying they owe me anything, they don't, I'm just one guy watching something they produce but seeing something so good turn so bad is painful especially knowing how great it can be. And I'm not saying it's turned bad, GoT just seems to be walking a fine line at the moment*.
It's like season 1 of Walking Dead, I never loved the show, but it was good, then season 2 turned in to farming simulator.
And the last episode of season 2 was basically a big "fuck you" to the audience. See this cool looking chick, she has swords and walkers on chains, yer we could have reduced the farm to 2 episodes and got to her sooner but we didn't. Remember to watch season 3 though, ya fucking rube!
* And yes we are only 4 episodes in to season 5, but it's not a great start when I'm already so bored my mind starts to wander and I end up thinking about how fucking dumb everyone is acting.
Edit: +1 for Vikings, good show worth a watch.
