I think the problem is that North of the Wall and the Night's Watch don't make for very interesting viewing. Not that the plots involved aren't worthwhile, but at its core it's a bunch of dreary dudes in a dreary place wearing dreary clothes. Not a whole lot they can do with it to make the scenery and the characters seem as exciting as those in the other places. I thought it helped last season when Jon was with Ygritte, but this year it's back to a sausage fest in black with snow piled everywhere. Which is fine in the books when you can focus more on the minor characters to add some color.
I think episode 9 will kick everything into gear there.
