TBH, I've always found the White Walkers/Night's Watch storyline the most engaging element of the series.... I was utterly sick of the political stuff.
Never read the books, but this is why I fell off the show as early as I did; I walked in expecting a high fantasy spectacle, and I got a protracted high fantasy soap opera surrounding events happening elsewhere at some undetermined point in the much more interesting future. It was like watching your favorite sport on TV, but the only camera angle is from the broadcasting booth where the commentators simultaneous hate and are sexually attracted to each other and they?re constantly going off topic with personal anecdotes.
