So the first three episodes... not bad. Then we run into superhero Daemon. Downhill from there. Constant introductions of characters who know things they could not possibly know or deducing things based off of absolutely nothing other than supposition. People show up in places they couldn't or shouldn't be. They might as well name these people Ser/Lady Plot Device because it seems as if the writers didn't know how to fill in plot holes so we just introduce a character to advance the story because, well, writing is hard.

They didn't know how to write characters so they are parallels to all those in GoT (seriously, there's a poor man's littlefinger, Sansa, Joffrey, Varys, Jorah, etc....) Just without any of the actual development. I know GRRM isn't consulting (so he can focus on not writing the books), but it's lazy, awful, horrific writing.

The bar set by Benioff and Weiss was low and yet somehow we have found two writers who match their lack of comprehension of GRRMs world. The only redeemable quality is the actors are amazing. What a shame that their talents are wasted acting out a script that might as well be written in crayon.
