Agreed, the story telling could be sped up. I "think" the idea was to get people involved in the characters lives by slowing it down and adding unneeded details about each character so that people felt they really knew them. I think it worked to a point but at too slow a pace thru each season. Although I would like to be the guy that triggers the guillotine with queen cersei head in it feed her to the hounds ! Lol
Only here to annoy...
