Meh, I've been enjoying this show, but I felt this episode was terrible and I don't even read the novels. My suspension of disbelief was gone by minute 2 and it was weird to see all the characters behave like brats.
Now that I know it deviated from the source material, it does seem like it was a trolling attempt. But despite this I don't really find it funny. To begin with I don't think trolling your audience is particularly hilarious, but maybe if the episode had done it in an entertaining way at least.
Something being unfunny does not mean people treat it like "serious business". It just means...it's an unfunny joke. Like a bad comedian. :P
