1) I will never get being annoyed at unanswered questions. The point of the show is unanswered questions. When the questions are answered, the show is over. 2) It's not that it's going in a different direction than predicted, it's that it has introduced something that entirely invalidates everything we've known up until now. It's "not only did you guess wrong, you guessed wrong because we've completely hidden a vital piece of information that didn't allow you to even remotely come close to the correct guess. Everything you've learned about characters' motivations and relationships is 100% invalid now, start again."

In other words, I'd much prefer explanations that lead to me thinking, 'Ooooooh, THAT'S how that all makes sense," instead of, "WTF? That changes everything!"

So ... I've never seen a minute of the current season. Should I stop right where I am?

Let me pull out my crystal ball and determine whether you personally will like the season, as well as the season that doesn't exist yet...
