this season is essentially a buildup to all the shit that's to come so sure, yeah, it was kinda boring but i expect season 4 to be amazing. and the red wedding was worth it, i spent 3 seasons looking forward to it and it didnt disappoint. Michelle Fairley's performance was phenomenal, she almost had me in tears. and the deviation from the book's mute/mentally challenged jester to walder's wife's throat being slit by Cat made him look all the more ruthless.
