A lot of people say that season two was weak compared to seasons one, three, four, and five. I'd like to make the case that season two has some of the best parts of GoT.
First, some of the best scenes in GoT where between Arya and Tywin. Arya wants to kill Tywin but kind of respects him, and Tywin likes Arya but would hostage her if he found out who she was. Their conversations were the most interesting ones in the entire series. And how good was the actor who played Arya to be able to stand toe to toe with Charles Dance in a scene?
Season two was also peak Tyrion. We were told that Tyrion was smart during season one, but it wasn't until season two that Tyrion truly demonstrated this, particularly when he was hand of the king. This was Tyrion playing the game at his peak and playing it well. In season three he was too scared to do anything and was basically completely disrespected by everyone. Tyrion never accomplished more than he did in season two.
Third, Rob Stark's peak battlefield performance. This was the season when Rob really shined.
Fourth, Renly. We got so little of that character, and most of his scenes were in this season. Granted, he died in one of the few material uses of magic, much to my disappointment.
Fifth, the start of Jon and Ygritte's romance. Sixth, Stannis was still formidable. And finally, baby dragons. Considering all of this, season two was pretty good, perhaps better than season one.
