Outside of effects I tried to think of a single positive and...I got nothing. I was angry and bored for an hour. Characters interactions have nothing to them, it's all flat and forgettable. The whole get a with plot was dumb and now feels even dumber. I'll ignore Usain Gendry Bolt and Ravens with rocket boosts because who cares anymore. More offensive is the utter collapse of Arya. One of my absolute favorite is now just awful with character regression to petulence and immaturity.

2/10 - 2 points for dragons basically. Good thing Nights King has his Wights carrying massive heavy chains around just in case you need to pull a dragon out of water. Also I swear if this ends with the Night King dying and the whole army exploding it will be the biggest anti climax I can imagine.

You'd appreciate the GOT tv show more if you hung out at the Game Of Thrones subreddit, they point out a lot of interesting things (things you have clearly missed).  It has made this season a lot more enjoyable.  Sure the pacing is bad, but a lot of the flaws you are pointing out have been debunked (the NK was waiting for the dragons, arya is playing LF, the whole episode spanned around a week etc.).  Unlike season 5 which was just bad all around (except hardhome).

Seriously, every week I see you post horrible reviews about GOT, and often it's because you miss certain details.  I'm not saying this season is great, but it's easily better than 2/10.  Anyways, that's my advice, take it or leave it.

I handed out 9s and 10s every week for years on the show excusing various small issues being an adaptation.  It was my favorite show of all time. I am very disappointed by how the writing has declined so severely.  I care, this is my favorite book series and I was on ASoIaF message boards years before HBO was in the picture.

 

I cannot divorce myself of how it pales in comparison and is so sloppy. I have no desire to damage your interest, but I wont fake that I've enjoyed much of anything these past few years.  I care about who rules the Riverlands, the Reach, the Stormlands, and Dorne. I'm sure others don't, but to me it goes against the heart of Martin's vision and world I fell in love with 15 years ago.
