I did end up rewatching all 3 seasons (on season 3 now), it took a few tries to get through episode 1 weirdly enough but then I just couldn't stop watching. Season 2 was definitely weak, while some good parts I had to fast forward through all the Robb + DoctorWife and Tyrion + Shae dialogues, both just dragged so badly and really brought down the season. Season 3 is pretty kickass though.
If you didn't see the 2013 Emmy Panel, it was the Target season 2 bluray disc extra and pretty good
pretty pumped now, can't wait for season 4, cuz in two days WINTER IS COMING
