That makes sense. Now I think I missed it but why is Locke in Castle Black joining the Night's Watch now?
Spoiler:
so he can find and kill bran, thx to theon telling everything to ramsay they know he is still alive. might also try to kill jon snow on the way there, he knows that he is a stark bastard. i also forgot about this scene at first, then went back to rewatch.
A friend of mine has the patience to wait until tv shows he's interested in are either completed or canned before deciding to actually watch them. I wish I had that resolve because the wait a week for another episode is terrible. More so I can imagine than just completely ignoring it until you can get the full, complete set.
Mmmm... I've thought that as well. Sold my Blu Ray sets of Season 1-3 yesterday; if I want to watch it again, I'll download it. I only buy series which I really really like (even if, objectively, they're not great, like, say, Chuck), and GoT isn't something I really really like anymore.

Yeah, so we need an awful unexpected death every episode Last episode was indeed heading to the worst-of-series category, until the boys from Castle Black showed up to save the day. And that scene with Bran, Hodor and Locke, fantastic
This new series seems to have gone off the boil. Maybe my enthusiasm has burned out, dunno.
Same. Season 1 was amazing, but only because they followed the books very closely (little less with Danaerys' story).
Once they started diverting from the books (s2 onwards), it seems like they kind of lost track to where they want to go, and resolved to cheap tricks to shock the audience. Jaime raping Cersei is as low as the series has gotten so far, in my opinion. Almost to a point where it gets pretentious, as in 'look how far we can go in this fucked up, harsh universe!'
And now with the butchered Bran's story, I'm almost done with this. I'll keep watching of course, but I'm not nearly as excited as I was before.
I already preferred The Borgias over GoT. After s2 of Vikings, I'm looking a lot more forward to s3 than the next episode of GoT.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
I expect Bran, Brienne, Sansa and Ramsay/Theon to divert even more from the books and get some extended arcs. Some of those plots have already reached book 4/5 territory, unless the writers let those characters skip multiple episodes which is unlikely, they have to make up something.
That's the thing; if they'd have followed the story, they wouldn't have to make shit up and try to get out if the mess they created in the first place. There's plenty of material in the books, enough for 20 episodes instead of 10. But they chose to do it differently. Well, screw them. I think they're lucky the next 2 seasons are already confirmed, because I expect a decline in viewers if they don't get their shit together fast.

Honestly, I don't know what show you guys are watching. Every scene of this episode was great. Even Tywin and Cersei talking about banking was more enthralling than half the shit on TV.

Honestly I could just watch this show for the sets / constructions after reading the books, they are so goddamn good and true to the lore, each episode lasts about 10 minutes for me in relative time
It's kinda refreshing to hear other people come to the same conclusion about this show as I, though it'd be better if we could all see it as a masterpiece. I could really do with another masterpiece TV show on HBO after The Wire.
True Detective was very close, but the last half of it let me down somewhat.
I've only read the first GoT book, long ago - and I didn't like that much either. My memory is hazy - but it seems to me the first season was a pretty good match for that book.
So, it has nothing to do with reading the books for me.
To me, this show would have been a lot better with less emphasis on shock value (Red Wedding was shocking - but extremely cheap and they shot their wad with it) - and a budget that could actually pull off the fantasy stuff enough to have more than 5 minutes of it total throughout 4 seasons.
I could have done without at least one of these fantastic journeys because they have so many similarities in that obviously the two doesn't like each other to begin with, but then they start to work together? Yeah...

Although the production values alone make it worth a watch.
