I'm betting this monkeynutz in the OP didn't watch one episode.
I've watched all the episodes. It gives off a mashup of Inception/Legion vibe. Some have said it reminds them of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I haven't watched that movie yet so I couldn't say.
However, there is some comedy to it. But I wouldn't categorize it as one.
Watch the movie on BR or DVD and listen to the alternate audio that has Sam Mendes and Alan Ball commenting throughout. It's fascinating and there are things they talk about (like the extended version of the movie) that makes things come to light.
In the original script (before editing) it starts with Jane and Ricky in jail, so yes. Mendes and the screenwriter did a lot of changes during shooting.
Just saw an article saying Stephen Dorff has been cast for Season 3 as well...

Yeah, I fat-fingered...it was 6.
My favorite:
Ep 4
"So, how was the pull-out"....
But my point is I think in part the attraction of the series is that in the first five seasons or so, the story telling was very slow paced and deliberate. Starting with season six I think they knew they were on borrowed time as far as needing to wrap up the series so the pacing was pushed which will detract when you compare it to the previous seasons. I understand that complaint. What I don't like are people just complaining about for the sake of complaining. Loose ends need to be tied up.
And I liked the Winterfell subplot with Sansa/Arya/Petyr. Kept me guessing. Always hated Littlefinger the character but the actor did superbly.
I think really, Dany has softened that 'burn them all' stance since seeing the kind of man/leader Jon is.
I'm not sure why all the hate for this season. Did they expect it to drag out at this point? They have a lot of resolution to do and they had 13 episodes with which to do it. Some of the 'fast time' stuff I think is a little silly, but it hasn't taken away from the season. Not for me anyway.
I'm still curious about the 'three-headed dragon' theory. Is the third Targaryen going to be a baby? Is it possibly Tyrion? That's why I love this show. It keeps you guessing. Well, except for the whole last season and R+L=J(A)
I'm gonna bet that I'm probably older than you.
