The only people who were upset by the second season have completely unrealistic expectations for adaptations from one format to another. The series, as a whole, remains one of the best book to film (movie or television) adaptations ever. It's hardly perfect, but adaptations never are. For what it is, the show is phenomenal.
Also, Dany's storyline is the worst part of the books. It's plodding, dull, and is only ever redeemed by one awesome scene at the end of each book. Otherwise, Dany spends an awful lot of time doing or saying a lot of stupid things. I will never understand why one cool chapter per book seems to make everyone forget how god awful the majority of the other ones are.
