I will say, though, this was the best episode yet. I still think there's an issue with overacting (or poor directing, or a combo), but I'm more invested now.

I read the books, knew the message board was coming, and it STILL felt disjointed. My friend was completely confused.

I think we're watching two different shows. I loved the books. But the show is disappointing. Everyone overacts, the writing is shaky, etc. I'd just want a do over.
