Most of the show’s characters continue to lack the kind of depth that made so many in the Thrones ensemble irresistible to watch, even when they did the nastiest things. The Targaryens have thin, uniform motivations in Season 2—that is, to survive and win. Little character development occurs, and potent emotional arcs are rare.

I’m having mixed feelings. .... The show remains highly watchable, and it mostly supports its status as a Sunday night ritual, where battles rage, dragons swoop and soar, white hair blows, and the palace drama stays at a solid boil. .... But the absence of Paddy Considine as King Viserys leaves a large hole, as he was one of only a few acting heavyweights in the mix. .... Matt Smith, who added so much sly ambiguity to the first season, is largely MIA, as his Daemon goes off on a side trip to a decaying castle.

The best I could muster at the end of their sweaty, bloody passion play was, "Ouch." Again: the subpar writing deserves the blame for that, not the performers. .... We may find that the back half of this one finds ways to remedy the diluted storytelling leaving us cold. The fourth episode fuels that hope even as the action within drains whatever dregs of assurances are left for the realm.
