That feeling was pretty much represented in the most recent episode through Arya's laughter upon receiving the latest bit of bad news about her aunt's death.

The show still has it's moments, for sure. After a slow start, this season has gotten a lot better. Some great scenes. It's just that I am starting to feel I'm watching the Royals. There are occasionally great moments, but no matter how much promise it shows, I am destined to be disappointed when it comes to anything significant.

I actually thought this was a "faster" start than any season previous to this one, particularly with Joffrey's assassination.
And I think that's exactly how we, the viewers, are supposed to feel...disappointed, discouraged, defeated, and even hopeless...just like the actual characters in the show going through this terrible shit. It's not supposed to be pleasant to watch right now. But that should only maximize the eventual payoffs when/if they do occur.
