Well, to be fair, that's not how it goes down in the books. The dragons are never stolen.
As for your other complaints about the show, I think the main thing is that this series is put together much differently than just about everything out there. We have been trained to identify the good guys and the bad guys. We look for the hero of the story to root for and the villain who we all know will eventually lose.
GRRM clearly wanted to tell a story that was based more in reality. The good guys aren't perfect, and the bad guys aren't pure evil (with a couple of notable exceptions). Everyone's just playing the "game" and hoping to come out on top.
Could the dragons eventually grow up and go crazy? Sure. But this is a more realistic series - animals take years to grow and develop. It's a slow-moving pace compared to other series for sure, but the intricacies of the relationships and plotlines are what makes it intriguing, not the spectacle and intense action.
