Ok, I'm working my way through the 3rd book right now, and I gotta say:
Sansa is an incredibly annoying character. The way she treats Tyrion after the marriage is really obnoxious, and she feels really one dimensional right now.
Just had to get that off my chest.

If I remember correctly, there's depth there, it just takes a while to get fleshed out. On the other hand, Sansa is (and again, I haven't read the books in months) one of the more passive characters in the story so far--things seem to happen to her far more than any of the other primary Starks. She doesn't take charge very often, and because her chapters are often just "Watch the rest of your universe rotate while you stand in the middle wide-eyed and awestruck" tedium is an understandable reacton.
OTOH, I also think that she, more than any of the other characters, is the only one that suffers any kind of PTSD (for lack of a better acronym) about what the fuck is happening to their family. So there's that.

I've been pretty good about not watching season 3, trying to save it up for 4 episode marathons.

This morning I saw a facebook post that said "Dragons and Titties!" and then some Game of Thrones tags. So I'm pretty sure the only way to beat Game of Thrones is a follow up series "Dragon Titties: The Dragons with Tits."

In regards to the episode with 0 tits:
I totally saw Khaleesi making the trade and murdering everyone coming, and it was awesome, but the rebellion of the crows was totally unexpected and awesome. Also, I kind hope Sansa get's a break and isn't getting played by Marjory. I used to hate her and I still kinda do, but she's just been screwed over so hard. Also also, MARJORY IS SO PRETTY GUH.

Agreed.
And (spoilers):
Things change dramatically for Sansa regarding her position and how she deals with the world DRAMATICALLY after the third book. I hated her too, she starts to grow on you once her situation...changes somewhat. I'm kind of weirded out also as to why there's so much Theon in this season, where as in the books he just vanishes. More streamlining I guess.

It never gets better. Sansa is a total cunt and i really hope littlefinger manufactures some total hell for her. Fuck sansa stark.
