The only noteworthy moments in this season have been the duel between the Cargyll twins and Rook's Nest, but beyond that pretty much nothing has happened. They have Daemon have neverending stoner dreams the whole season, including a particularly disturbing one, as well as other characters act completely out of character. During S1 I was staunchly pro-Black but this season has made me root for the Greens out of spite lmao (they do have Aemond anyway).I enjoyed the first season, but I quit watching season 2 after about episode 3 or 4. They completely lost the plot, so to speak. No story advancement, random weird scenes that seem to serve no purpose except to fill the gap left by poor writing, best written and best acted characters from season 1 either gone or getting minimal air time, et cetera. I couldn't take it any longer.
Oh and don't get me started with the fact they cut Nettles from the story, terrible decision.
I loved GOT and the first season of HOTD, but they seriously dropped the ball with this season. Such a disappointment.
