For me there are two problems with the time shift:

I also caught up between seasons a few weeks ago. And now having to wait between episodes promises to be absolutely infuriating.

Its certainly not perfect, but there's a lot to like here. I thought Shall We Gather at the River in particular was pretty solid—if that could be the baseline for quality (with the occasional mis-steps or moments of brilliance) I'd be 100% on board. At the end of last season I'd say I was only about 75.

Every time I watch this episode I bawl at the grilled cheese even more than I do the race track. I can end up crying just thinking about it too much.

Doesn't making people wait hurt these networks too, because TV is serialized in a way other media aren't? I (and most of the rest of my TV-watching peers) will not become a GOT viewer until I can catch up on what I've missed. I'll admit up front that I don't understand any of the money implications of making us wait,…

What show are you watching where the plots aren't contrived nonsense?

I might be alone in this one, but I'd rather see Other Shows categorized based on a different set of characteristics—stuff like "New Shows" "Ongoing Series" and "Special Events"
