It's not worse per se, but some people definitely think it's more dull than the preceding and following books.

It's not as good as the first and third books, but the show has also provided a weak adaptation of book 2. They cut out a lot of good stuff.
I would rank the books
1 > 3 > 2 > 4
There are some good things in book 2, but it was weaker than book 1 to me. Unfortunately, the show decided not to do a lot of the good stories from book 2...
I haven't read ADWD yet.
I think book 2 is better than the first. Problem with the season is A: the book is larger than the first so they had to rush through everything and cut out some of the best parts, and B: Unlike the book, the season has been mostly uneventful except for the Blackwater. This is because they've pushed things back to the finale and cut some major events out. Dany visiting the House of the Undying should have happened in Episode 7.
If you feel like reading,
This Catelyn chapter from the book where she frees Jaime is one of my favorite chapters in the book. It's nothing in the show.

Thing is, if you didn't read the book you might have forgotten this. They did a crappy job with that and other character development outside of Tyrion, Arya and Joffrey IMO. Sorry but the, "don't let the fire come near me" line wasn't good enough..
Would it have hurt to have a forshawowing scene somewhere earlier this season that showed his aversion to fire? The show is good but little omissions like that really put a fly in the ointment
Well it's one of the situations were the show requires the viewer to be smart, be paying attention, and retain something for an episode a long time ago.
Can't wait for tonight's episode!

it honestly sounds like everything good that I want to see all in one episode.
Also, his half his face is burnt. That might give you a clue. Hoping the finale turns out great!

I literally have no idea what this means. But anyway, this show has the most hateable villain on TV in years.

If you're referring to Joffrey I have no idea how anyone could "hate" the character. He's utterly one dimensional and the acting is incredibly over the top and pompous [in a good way]. It just ensures everything he says and does is hilarious.
Yeah, all it took was a look at his face and you could see what was going on.

He is not what is being talked about
I hope people are refering to Cresei...will be even more evident when...
If anything I would think he was referring to a certain as of yet un-cast bastard.
My grandmother constantly asks me when Theon gets his but I just tell her to wait and see.
I think it's funny how much my friends hate Joffrey. Two of them were pretty bummed that he didn't die last episode.

Why isn't it tonight already?
I can't for my 64 minutes of Alan Taylor directed goodness.

He's directing Thor 2, which might take up a lot of his time!
Its going to be a looooong wait til next season :_(
Even worse will be the wait between next season and S4.
Didn't he say "we won" after that? Would be a damned useful gif if that part was added in.
I remember reading somewhere that he'd direct one Season 3 episode, though.

Time to cancel HBO after this. It went by so fast! I hope we don't have to wait to long for it to come back. At least 6 months I'm guessing.

Really? That long? That stinks!
They haven't even finished casting and started filming yet. It's remarkable what they can do in 6 months time.

very very excite!
Same wait we had between seasons 1 and 2. Just be glad they're not going the Sopranos route where it was about a year and a half between the starts of each season. Welcome to the joy of watching HBO shows as they're airing.

It's going to be such a long wait for S3.
I hope they release the S2 Blu-ray sometime earlier than March 2013.

Best opening theme since John Adams. HBO really sets the benchmark when it comes to production values.

Man, they always lay things out pretty clearly with these "previously on" sequences.
Anyway, Valar Morghulis everyone.

Goddamn it is it "TYR-ull" or "tie-RELL"? They've now used both in the show.
