They have been saying winter is coming, for the past 3 seasons.. and still hasn't come. Were all the events in the span of a week or something? So Stupid.
WHite walkers are also easily the best part of the series.... they barely use them, that's dumb.
Also, all the important characters getting killed.. are so anti climactic...figure with such big important characters.. more would be done.. but it;'s about as climactic as a slave getting killed.
Like they said explicitly in the show, years can go by before the change of a season. Obviously their planetary dynamics aren't the same as ours, where our precession is slow enough to be negligible, our tilt with respect to the sun coincides with our orbit, and our interaction with other bodies have negligible perturbation with respect to the solar force. They probably have a more complicated system where, for example, they have a rapid precession, on the order of their orbital period, and other solar system bodies besides the sun have a significant impact on their motion, giving them the sort of chaotic unpredictable orbit that would lead people to not know how long the next winter will be, etc.
