Oh really? There are influnces of course. Just look at the map of the island. But i didnt know we had zombies, dragons and magic in our history. So you can say there are some historical followings but its clearly no rehash to british history at all.
The wall could be seen as hadrians wall. There where a lot of intrigues in british history too. But thats it.

That is part of the attraction...the mix between real history influence and reference and the slow introduction of dark fantasy elements (dark races, undead plague, dragons, curses, ritual magic etc.). And the narration style he uses (switching character perspectives) is part of it too (though it can be annoying at times, but many popular authors used it throughout the centuries).
This might not be everyones cup of tea, true. But that does not make it bad (especially if you look at what other type of fantasy/horror literature is out there atm).
Wow, You are such a smart person. "This what you want to hear" I figured so, since such a highly intelligent person like yourself announced to the MMO community that you are above the rest, based solely on the fact that you think Game of Thrones is packed full of adventure and curiosity "so far" this season. Of which it hasn't done anything of the sort except to have each character baby crawl towards the already known path each of them were on.
But go ahead, and criticize. It's all good!

Interesting things that have happened this season:
Danaerys got an army
Rose Leslie got naked
Not interesting things that have happened this season:
The Starks continue to be the most idiotic noble family in history.
The Lannisters continue to be just shy of being actual Magnificient Bast4rds
Everyone else continues to display the foresight and planning skills of a third grader on a Halloween-grade sugar high.
I don't make points I make dents.
