I dunno, aside from King's Landing (which has been... rather extraordinarily dull, honestly), I feel like this season has been moving very quickly, and it feels like everything is starting to gear up for the endgame.

But it's all gearing up and not much doing. Very few of the episodes' has a solid arc. Like this week we had:

• Sansa confronts Baelish (and gets info)
• Another day in the life of Bran
• Daenerys has goodbye to Jorah
• Sansa and Jon plot and leave (to go somewhere)
• Arya gets beat up with sticks and given a mission
• Tyrion and Varys meet a Red Woman
• Hodor holds a door.

Sure, there are a lot of cool moments, but outside of Bran's arc (which arguably lacked a bit more build up), everything just felt like more things going. There aren't any obstacles. Jon and Sansa make their plans and go without a hitch. Stuff happens, but there's no 'but.' I want my intrigue!

I don't know much about the details of this season since I am like a season behind on the show. XD

But isn't this the first season that they hadn't adapt at least some of the plot from the books? I seen to recall reading that somewhere, so that might be why it feels like it is missing something. *shrugs*

Yeah, it is. It could be, but GRRM is still helping the showrunners, so, I dunno. I just want more conflict!
