Like current politics, everyone has their own agenda to gain power at whatever cost. It's no holds bar with plenty of backstabbing. Character building was already established during season 1 but it's dragging on at such a slow pace. With how season 1 ended, I anticipated the start of season 2 to have started with more action. Throw us a bone with something more than private plotting, scheming or council meetings. Waiting for some kickass battles or a character being offed and SOON otherwise I'll skip watching and read about it later.
