well, you're obviously neither stupid, nor a jerk. I get that there are pacing issues what with the whole format and tons of settings. that hasn't however, managed to turn me off to it because I still see some great writing and character development (a term i usually hate) there.
Take the supposed "racism" for instance (I wasn't only adressing the rape controvery around the show. I get that there are people who just can't watch these things) - the whole thing mostly went off with Danys "White Queen in a brown mass of subjects"-scene. And then, next season - bam! we get to see the reason behind it. Her Crowdsurfing thing served as a visualization of how SHE SEES HERSELF as a white savior, not how we're supposed to believe that she *is* one. And there was a lot of these clever, long planned motifs even within the latest season that you think has gone off the rails.
From my experience with people who criticise the show, people who read the books tend to overlook some of these things. They also tend to easily be offendecd by changes, that may have actually made the story better. Like Merging Tyrions first wife with Shae and thus giving him a full-blown Othello plot. Also something people constantly whine about instead of seing the possibilities.
