The writing is top notch and the thing I love the most is the unpredictability....a lot of shows tease it but GoT really does deliver on that front, NO ONE is safe and you never know what the hell is going to happen.
I cannot wait for April.
Oh and I have to admit...The Red Wedding was probably the most shocking and impactful scene I have ever witnessed in any television program, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

The death of Robb's wife was especially well done and set up. It was emotionally impactful because:
1) It was devastating. We'd seen her and Robb being all lovey-dovey about it, and Robb even was told she wanted to name it after his father. Heart strings played.
2) It was unpredictable, even for a book fan. Since this was not part of RW in the book, book fans were let wondering if she was going to die with the rest or if she was part of the betrayal.
3) It seemingly ended a hopeful thread many were clinging to (that Jeyne Stark was actually pregnant with Robb's heir and secreted somewhere).
