This is the season that I've been looking forward to the whole series. Now that the War of the Five Kings is winding down, Joffrey finally gets his, and Tyrion's fall, Arya heading off to train, the Wildlings at the wall. Most of my favorite bits from the books are finally getting their screen time. It's too bad that the books take a turn for the worse after this. They're still good, but not much of interest happens. No major changes or interesting plot twists. Just the story plodding along.
