I read the books, and haven't yet watched episode 9.

I'm also really disappointed by this season, for the first time since I began this series. Just too much changes compared to the books, and bad ones I think. They took out the politics to add more sex and gore. It's not about the "game of thrones" anymore, just about who have sex or who get killed next.

I hope it will get better, but I don't expect much, I'm mostly waiting for Winds of Winter.

Considering just how much was going on in season 1 where everything was so fast-forward that many people that didn't read the books couldn't get what this is all about, this season almost nothing happens which I expected as they were close to the "end" of the last book already in season 4 so that's why I hoped they show us more from the Greyjoys, perhaps Bran also a little bit and Loras going to Dragon Stone instead of being in a trial because he is gay. But then they chose to make a season which wants to move from scandal to scandal...
