Watching this season live is tough. I caught up on seasons 1-3 by DVRing them on a free HBO weekend and did the same after season 4. Now that I have HBO Go, I am watching live and it is tough. I just keep expecting way more, probably because I was able to just watch the next one if I had time.
The same thing happened to me last year. If I had it to do over I would wait until the series is over and run through it. It is more entertaining that way.
"Wait until the series is over".

I did that with Breaking Bad and it was great.
After speed watching, getting one episode week it seems like nothing happens.
I did it for Breaking Bad as well, but that was just because I didn't watch any episodes of the show until the 5th season was on the air.
Seems a bit odd to me to just stop watching this show and let it build up until the series is over after you already started watching it - just because we can't seem wait a week for the next show. Truly first world problems, and people just don't have patience for the slow build as much anymore. Also with this show, no why you don't get half of the stuff spoiled for you by that point if you don't watch soon after seasons are over.
