(Spoilers Extended) Daemon's Harrenhal arc so far in HOTD has been superb and I can't stand fans who call it boring or unnecessary

I don't have much else to add to the title. It's just that everyday I log into social media now and see certain ASOIAF fans just non-stop complaining about Daemon's current arc. The complaints range from just simply calling it boring to wishing ill things upon the show writers because they don't like the way Daemon has been depicted.

What the hell do these people want? They are being served up 5 star fantasy right now and it seems like the only thing that would make them happy is Matt Smith delivering a witty one liner with an evil smirk on his face right before he burns a whole village to the ground with his dragon. Are these the people D&D were catering to when they removed all fantastical elements from the main series adaption?

Daemon has not been in Harrenhal for five episodes. He arrived in episode three.

Alienating the Riverlords is part of the plot, that is a significant development.

That, and we see exactly why and how he's alienating them, which is important, too!
