stopped watching after S2 and sort of checked in here and there. but Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons were both all over the place as novels, which made for really boring television every time I tried checking back in.

I'm cherrypicking episodes from S6 and S7 now, and there are some impressive moments. but agreed -- a lot of the momentum is gone for me. I wonder if Martin is test ballooning some of the ideas he had for each character, and will tweak them for the books.

not that I'm waiting for those, either.
