The third season will be the greatest TV season ever if they do it right |
You're mistaken the second and fifth books in addition to the first are better :)

Come on. While I agree the second book is better than the third (which is way overrated due to one scene), the fifth is a complete slog with POVs that go nowhere, characters brooding and traveling instead of doing interesting things, and no sense of progress at all besides one or two major plotlines. It seems like it was written by the likes of Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan, who excelled in that kind of sloppy writing.
Honestly I'm afraid Martin joined pretty much every other major f/sf series out there in the sense they lose the touch as the books roll on. Pratically only Steven Erikson managed to deliver over the whole series, and even him had some flaws.

I can agree that that's been happening since the third. No matter I think the fifth is great though it ultimately solves nothing. Jon was as great as Tyrion in the second book or Eddard in the first

Maybe the wait made it look worse than it actually was. It was better than the fourth for sure.
And yeah makes you wonder what GRRM have against hard-working guys. In fact, now that I think about it, everyone who's seen success got it due to subterfuge.
Anyways this thread is about the series (which, by the way, is looking amazing) and we should stick to it.
