I completely understand tying up plotlines, but this has been pretty gross so far in its execution. They really went full Boardwalk Empire mighty quick.

The first few episodes had plenty of room and dead air/dead directing to make something GoT quality. Same with the Jon Snow storyline. Tons of dead time to develop better plots further by now, instead they will just be dropped on us ala Riverrun, Blackfish, Dorn, and Arya/Braavos and the Hound.

There better be some good stuff coming. Nobody cares about the transparent battle of the bastards either.

I care about the up-coming fight, but agree about everything else you've said. This season's storyline has jumped around TWOW, ADWD, AFFC content, with a good measure of the showrunners own story. There have been scenes and episodes I've liked a lot, but the jumping around has yielded a lot of disconnects for me. I expect future episodes will close some of those loops/lapses, but those won't be knitted closely enough for my liking. Won't be watching tonight - got a basketball game I care about. Try to enjoy.
