I'd say it like this, it may contain elements of soap opera, but if we are delved into a world where we learn the ins and outs of social propriety and a misstep leads to dire consequences across a kingdom, even if those consequences are largely offscreen, I still prefer that to bland dudes running into people in the woods and sticking a sword through another bland dude.

Shakespeare's works weren't exactly Battle of Helm's Deep, but they could convince you such a battle was inevitable.

Littlefinger discussing his ambitions to Sansa in the most recent episode is one example.

This is perhaps the epitome



give me a thousand great scenes like this over an epic battle.
