Game of bores, another uneventful season is coming

you are mistaken

While I didn't read the books, it'll be interesting how much the show is going to converge from the source material from now on. I try to keep tabs on that by following the nerd discussions online.

Not a GRRM dick sucker or a even just a regular show hater but I have the feeling Martin is going to cover some of the plot points with a bit more class.

On the general progress of the story I absolutely hate how there's some kind of new different monster every couple of episodes: At the dragons I was like "WOW", it wasn't just stories, when they introduced Melli and her shenanigans I absolutely loved the doubt about the power of her "witchcraft", but everything that came later on, the zombies from the North, Zombie Gregor etc.. it's really losing focus from the whole power clash(es), disputes, intrigues, character development and wars to bad horror tropes from the 60s.

I'd love to not watch the season and wait until the next book comes out first, but I think it is downright impossible to dodge the spoilers.

Still remember the time I stuck my head into the screening of 6th sense at the local cinema and shouted bruce Willis is dead!

Was probably the day I realised I was a bit of a cunt.

Not as good as the guys shouting SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE at kids when one of the books came out.

I definitely agree with you that intrigues, moral dilemmas etc. is what makes the show interesting, that's why I like it so much. I think the magical elements more or less serve that part of the show though. Cersei's pet zombie for instance.. she's lost nearly everything and definitely wants revenge against those who opposed her. Zombie Gregor will only help her achieve that to an extent

Yup.

I am so happy I never got into the habit of watching TV series. I think they affect people subconsciously more than they realise. You people are brainwashing yourself into acting 'normal' by the standards of 'normal' you have been shown on TV. Probably does not apply to Game of Thrones too much because it is fantasy, talking about shit like Sex and the City, Friends and HIMYM here.

Watching tv makes people feel like they are part of the human experience. It makes them docile. Keeps them comfortable about the world view and hopeful for the future.

In short, tv tells people everything they want to hear. Aside from that there's some great entertainment and tons of harassment from advertising.
