There's a lot of problems with the writing this season, although I can't imagine it's easy for the writers, now that the show has gone beyond the books and they have no source material to work from. I doubt when they started making Game of Thrones they believed they would be writing everything themselves towards the end. GRRM obviously gives them the plot points, but it must be difficult to fill in the blanks.

I can't help but feel the show could have done with another series or two. After 6 seasons that have moved slowly, to this season which is moving as sonic speed and characters are teleporting across the world between scenes, I'm finding it difficult to be as immersed in the storyline.

It's still one of the best shows on TV and I love the characters and battle scenes. I feel something is missing this season though, compared to previous seasons.
