Watched 5 episodes, still awaiting for that spark ... 5th episode was promising ...with uncle and niece possibly being naughty together... then nothing happened... king father even horrified of the idea... was it not something common for the targaryens? Why being so prudish? Is out of character ...When you expect something scandalous, exciting, surprising to happen this series gives a nudge but then ... we know HOD is based on a book that is rather focused on facts and history than the GOT exciting adventures ...so far definitely reflected in the tv series ... perhaps it will improve next season, after all GOT season 1 wasn't that great, it was more of an introduction to all characters ... yet, again, many shocking things did happen (i.e. Sean bean beheading, jamie and cersei...) ...i am someone who was bitterly disappointed by GOT sudden and BADLY scripted ending, so, I am watching this new one with a bitter aftertaste still fresh in my mouth. I shall remain optimistic and give it the benefit of the doubt but I still wish HBO'd rather continued to broadcast more GOT episodes...miss the characters so much, couldn't care the less about dragons.
