Nah, the second season is much more straight forward and predicable.
The opposite of what made the first one so awesome.

Its still catching but while the first was: action, turn, action the second is: setup, setup, setup, action

I think what people liked about the first season was Eddard Stark's character. It sucks that George RR Martin would just kill him off, but that's how is he. He'll just kill off a character without any regard to how likable they may be. It's a tough thing to do, kill off a main character. It has to leave the audience feeling a little empty, but that's how it goes and expect other main characters to suddenly die.

The second season is very complicated with all of it's moving parts. Alliances are formed and broken. Everyone is scheming against everyone else. Even "friendly" people are scheming against each other. It's complicated to follow if you don't know the characters well.

There is a lot of setup, but I think that setup is more for the future seasons than it is for the current season. This entire season is kind of a setup for what will be.

Personally rooting for the Baratheons. They just need to stop killing them.

I think season 2 is worth it for the Jaqen story alone.

Season 2 is so slow joffery is a jack ass and nothing is going right for the starks.

I liked Catelyn Stark up until this episode WTF. I havent read the books but I'm starting to think that the starks are gonna get their asses handed to them soon.

Tyrion in King's Landing is one priceless scene after another.

Depending on how much they can fit into Season 2, it might not be as predictable as you expect. Or it just might be something we just have to relax and enjoy till season 3 when things go crazy again.

@Alekseyev if your basing that on the books the show is going to veer away from the books or has starting this season.

Lets not spoil shit from the books, Id really rather be surprised when I watch the show
