well i was recommended to watch this series and now i'm up to date. i found the show overall quite average, and the characters uninteresting except for the imp and arya. it has great moments (visery getting hot gold melted on his face) but not enough to make a solid series. as for sean bean character being decapitated well he got what he deserved. he decapitated some poor boy just because he saw the white walkers so i felt no compassion for him whatsoever.

Love the series! I've actually started reading the books because of the show. This way I won't have to wait till next season.

Ros is easily the most useless addition to the show though. I guess straight men and gay women (and bisexuals ) probably love it, but I am not a fan of the actress or the character.

Lots of table setting but it's just good to be back in the show's world. We check in with all the characters and meet a few new ones, finally seeing the much discussed Stannis Baratheon. I must say, I thought Baelish was dead ther for a sec, thankfully not.
Casting has again been excellent, but I'm not too sure on Stannis personally. Melisandre though is perfect.
GRRM apparently directed the Blackwater episode (which also took up most of the season's budget ) so that should be amazing.
Something which happens next season (if you've read book 3, you'll know what I mean) has the potential to be one of the great TV scenes if they do it right, which I'm sure they will.
