Everyone's entitled to form their own opinion on it, doesn't mean we're trying to be hip or cool if criticising. I never moaned in seasons 1-4, and during seasons 5-7 although some things didn't sit right, the overall story and filming was still at a high standard.
My problem with it is how it's gone away from what made it unique in seasons 1-4 in particular, and then the way they have just changed characters and their motives for this season, and even done it from one episode to the next. They aren't impressive twists or shocks, they make no sense. The inconsistencies are poor as well. Like the Dragons being an easy target one week, and then untouchable the next.
More examples... Jaime surviving time and time again when he was certain to die. It started last season with Bronn saving him and that fight with Euron where he got stabbed and then somehow came back even stronger was ridiculous. Cersei is the most evil character on the show and would never surrender, and turned in to a blubbering wreck in a pathetic manner before her death (I still think they will keep her alive for the next episode somehow).
Jon Snow was built up to be the leading light and has been made useless since episode 3, they then bigged up Arya who suddenly gave up on her mission of 6-7 seasons just off one conversation with the Hound, and after braving the Battle of Winterfell to kill the Night King. Loads more problems than that that have already been pointed out.
Out of interest, what things did you like about the episode?
Just butting in mate, but personally I liked most of the plots, the action, the special effects and the characters. Bit annoying how quickly she went from a slow burning rise in anger to full on crazy on a dragon and would of preferred a more personal touch to the Cercis death, but other than that it's been great.
I like the assault on the city, the way she kept moving after dropping out the sky because she can move quicker than the crossbows can turn and aim was clever, and that after she realised the only way people will follow her instead of Jon was through fear, because lets face it from the start, everything except the throne was incidental to her was fully shown in that attack.
I like how you could see just how brutal a full size dragon could be and why they were so feared.
The night battle was superb (but agree with most it was too dark)… but it was a night battle, what else should I of expected?
Ayia (or however you spell it) has a good story and was badass in the winterfell battle and when it's just raining random death around the city decided to leave, sensible to be fair.
Bad guys are running out, and the replacement is worse so it's proper GOT again (not the top quality football based website, the other one
)
Still not seeing everyone's beef to be honest, I think it's a great series from a great show.
For me:
Bad points
* Dwarf turning on his mate for not enough reason, except thinking that Deaneris was still what he had hoped and that it was the only way to keep peace.
* Too dark night battle - Logical but annoying
* Dragon bird getting too rattled too quick - Nothing positive except it was leading up to it since they arrived on the mainland, but the flip was way too much and dissapointing
* Jamie/Cercis not being killed by someone interesting: pants end for them imo, would of preferred an Ayia end, or Jamie to end her for banging the pirate or something like that.
Good bits
* The rest
