But see, Walking Dead's Seasons are usually divided into two sets. In Season 3 and 4 there was a huge gap between Ep.5 & the other 4; 9 in total, IIRC. 1st season had around 5 episodes and 2nd had around 8. Also, GOT's production is quiet different and miles tougher than the rest.
hmmm ok ... :hmmm:
I disagree, they are not dragging in, infact, this season is the only one where it feels close to the spirit of the books. It depends on how you look at it, I've personally found the inter-personal dynamics and their evolution to be highly fascinating and very intelligently written, more so than the political & military rammifications/developments. The latter category is great eye candy but big part of life- infact the biggest- is living with people. And that is where inter-personal dynamics and its evolution is ultimately, so much more fascinating to me than who conquered what/how ( they too are fascinating, dont get me wrong but secondary and almost a spin-off of the interpersonal dynamics). This series has so far seen an excellent development of personal dynamics. The Arya-Hound angle is beautiful. The author brilliantly skirts around the 'Stockholm syndrome' and presents a 'different reality' on the growing warmth & love between Arya and the Hound. ( dont get any ideas, by love i mean strictly speaking, the caring sense of the two towards each other). It is extremely well written and not entirely difficult to see how arya and the hound both care for each other's well being and worth, having started off in such adversarial positions. The Cersei-Jamie-Tyrion angle is extremely well written too. A microcosm of the fractured relationships between the three and why: Cersei simply beginning to hate Tyrion due to her mother's death, jamie always having a soft spot for Tyrion precisely due to that- again, very well written. The angle of Bailish is pretty intreaguing as well and well written. So far, this season has my vote for the best season yet.
Ok ...
Dragging? The dialogues and interaction have been wonderful. No action can beat that 5 minute interaction between Oberyn and Tyrion
OK OK Bro .... dont need to be angry .... :((

Not read any of the last few posts for fear of spoilers, but cant wait Oberyn vs Sir Gregor. I suspect Oberyn will get his ass kicked, but hopefully itll be close. I stay away from this thread and will continue to do so

Never start a monologue in the middle of a fight. GRRM keeps ****ing killing every character as soon as you start getting fond of them:(( barring geoffery
It's a cheap trick to build up characters and tear them down in an instant for shock value. It right up there with the semi porn scenes. It is manipulative.
