Tucao points, ask questions

I haven't read the original book, but I was deeply attracted when I watched the first season. I felt that the rhythm was well grasped and the plot was exciting~ But the second season disappointed me. I listed some things that I thought were unreasonable or incomprehensible, and complained. I hope someone can explain.
1. The plot progresses too slowly and the viewpoints switch too frequently. Sometimes some plots in an episode have a strong integrity and could have been expressed coherently, but they just have to be separated. After two or three minutes of acting, they will immediately cut to the point of view of other characters (especially the dragon girl plot), and then cut again after a while. Come back, I feel so annoying! And sometimes some of Rory's rambling, innocuous episodes, like Jaime's conversation with his cousin in the cage, go on for a long time! After a whole season, I feel that the story has not progressed much, alas...
2. Winterfell is too vulnerable, right? ! Joey Gray can break through with 20 people? ? ! ! Even if the army is marching south, the city defense will not be able to hold even 20 people, right? ! And in the end, the people from the Iron Islands knocked Joey Gray out and said they would retreat (after all, they were besieged by hundreds of people). The two young masters were supposed to be rescued, but why did they run away in the end? And I can't see anyone else anymore.
3. The magic color of the second season is gradually obvious. Ruhuo Nu raised a shadow man, and easily killed Renly. It's just that I don't understand that since there are such powerful things, it's easy to kill the enemy generals, or even sneak into King's Landing to kill the king, right?
4. Stannis even took the lead in attacking the city when he attacked the king, and he had to climb the battlements. This is too unreasonable, right? ! Think you are immortal? !
5. The war scene is too cut corners, presumably many people think so, and they think it is quite pitiful.
6. In the last episode, the three dragons breathing fire can kill such a powerful warlock who can also be cloned? !

Personally, I am a person who has strong requirements for the logic of the film. I hate some unreasonable plots. I don't spit it out.

The North Remembers quotes

  • [at the Chamber of the Painted Table, Stannis dictates a letter of declaration to Matthos Seaworth. Matthos reads the draft aloud]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and I declare upon the honor of my House, that my beloved brother Robert left...

    Stannis Baratheon: He wasn't "my beloved brother". I didn't love him. He didn't love me.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: A harmless courtesy, your Grace.

    Stannis Baratheon: A lie. Take it out.

    [Matthos erases the word "beloved"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...that my brother Robert left no trueborn heirs, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella, being born of incest between Cersi Lannister and her brother Jaime Lannister. By right of birth...

    Stannis Baratheon: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. Call him what he is.

    [Matthos adds the words "the Kingslayer". Cressen secretly slips a poison pill into his wine cup. No one notices him except Davos]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and her brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim...

    Stannis Baratheon: Make it SER Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. Whatever else he is, the man's still a knight.

    [Matthos adds the word "Ser"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros. Let all true men declare their loyalty.

    Stannis Baratheon: When Eddard Stark learnt the truth, he told only me. I'll not make the same mistake. Send copies of that letter to every corner of the realm, from the Arbor to the Wall. The time has come to choose. Let no man claim ignorance as an excuse.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: Your Grace, the Lannisters are the true enemy. If, for the time being, you could make peace with your brother...

    Stannis Baratheon: I'll not make peace with Renly while he calls himself king.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: But many have already declared for him. Mace Tyrell, Randyll Tarly...

    Melisandre: Stannis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support, the Lord of Light stands behind him.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: And how many ships has the Lord of Light got in his fleet?

    Melisandre: He has no need for ships.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: I'm sure he doesn't, but we do if we're going to war. If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Robb Stark.

    Stannis Baratheon: Who'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Ser Davos. Joffrey, Renly, Robb Stark, they're all thieves. They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

  • Melisandre: Lord of Light, come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full or terrors. After the long summer, darkness will fall heavy on the world. The stars will bleed. The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas... and the dead shall rise in the North.
