It seems to me only the fans of the books are getting the kick out of the series, or I'm the only one(okay I'm not) who thinks the writing is S**T. Episode 1 Bryene (or what's her name the albino knight) arrives out of nowhere - unexplained - no one bats an eye, let us assume as usual, but in my opinion the lame "deus ex machina" is still lame. Same goes for episode 2 where the wildlings storm the castle gate and save the "traitors", literally in the last second.
But the most disappointing and anti-climatic bit was in the end of the episode, I was expecting some sophisticated blood magic, not some lame mutterings... and of course focusing camera on the wolf gave away everything, even the makeup was different when Jon opened the eyes in the end. He was like "finally I can get s**t done".
Okay I will admit Gordon Ramsay slaughtering his father caught me off guard. It was nasty.
So all in all GoT is like a lottery, series are filled with these little moments of suspense, where there is a feeling that something will go totally wrong. So the next time two guys staring at each other, make your bets.
To summarise, horrible writing.
