A thrilling spectacle is what you expect from GAME OF THRONES. But unfortunately this season felt bogged down. Don't get me wrong; it's still better than much of what litters the airwaves. That doesn't make it perfect. It is the least strong season so far, as it relied too heavily upon big moments spaced out with utter monotony. I couldn't care less about Castle Black at this point, and frankly, the series started out with a heavy focus on the events of Winterfell and Kings' Landing. While I know we can't go back to the former, there's no reason to point the camera away from the throne for so long. Even Daenerys Stormborn, who I hope takes it all in the end, had a weak plotline, the most uninteresting season-long story she's carried in a while. It feels like the writers are dragging their pens through the footnotes this season. Get to the point! Overall, the bursts of flavour sprinkled every three or four episodes don't have enough pizzazz to leave a good taste in my mouth. That being said, GAME OF THRONES can still be good television, so I'm not giving up hope yet. I weakly recommend the fourth season and hope the fifth will have more to offer.
