Just watched Episode 6 of Game, and yes, this section was a bit slow and frustrating in the book as well. Don't worry no book spoilers. I did enjoy sections of it though - everything with Tyrion Lannister and Ayra. Who are my two favorite characters in the books. And the bits with Vicerys and Danrys whose story is starting to take off.
