UPDATED REVEW: That time jump was awful. Shame on whoever thought his was a good idea. Can't believe GRRM has yet to finish his books and worked on something with this much of a huge mistake midway through the season. The actress who plays the Dragon Queen looks and acts nothing like her younger self. This is not artistic, it's just bad casting. The plot totally fell apart in Episode 6. The story was beyond incoherent.

Prior to that, one thing I like about this show is that it isn't super complicated - or trying to recreate Game of Thrones - it is its own series. Now that the rules of Westeros are established in the mind of the audience, this show can just have fun with the palace intrigue of the Targaryen's.

Matt smith was still great in it. And the dragons are cool.
