Meh, I get how the GoT series work. The entire season is a slow build up to one massive orgasm that happens at the end. To be honest, I'd rather have multiple weaker orgasms throughout the entire season.
Also, y u kill hooker with nice tits
Actually the third book has so many orgasms they needed to split it in two seasons
And I think we already had some vital moments in this season
- Jaime losing his hand
- Daenerys finally getting an army - best scene so far in this season
- Jon betraying his oath to the Night Watch
- Theon's spirit being broken
- Jeor Mormont killed by his own men
But yeah you are right they have the same pattern in every season.
Episode 1-3 introduce new characters or bring back memories about the returning characters / story lines
Episode 4-8 build up tension with some decisive moments here and there
Episode 9 let all hell break loose (Ned Stark's execution, Blackwater)
Episode 10 build up cliffhangers for the next season
