From the sounds of it, I'm glad I gave it up  |
We're six episodes into S3, and at this point I have to say it's a shame you gave up on it when you did. I'm finding this season to be better than S2, but more important than that is this feeling I have that in the final season (and the final books for that matter) when this story is all tied together and all liingering questions are finally answered, the wait will have been worth it ten-fold and then some.
But I'm enjoying the fact that the characters aren't just running around constantly hitting each other with axes, that there is a mult-faceted story and a lot of delayed plot gratification going on... as in a lot of acting rather than just mindless action. Eg; When Varys and Littlefinger have their little private chats some people see it as boring, two older guys yapping for 5 minutes who cares?... but I on the other hand am fascinated by the amount of scheming and intrigue going on in their brief conversations. They cover a lot of ground if one has been paying attention.
But that's really the key to any such mega-series of this scope. One actually does have to pay attention.
Some of you here act like this series is weakening, that it is somehow not worth watching or is inferiior to other series, etc. I can assure those people they are dead wrong.
