I am actually very forgiving of flawed story telling. I liked Batman vs Superman despite its glaring problems and the excessive shoehorning. I also liked season 5 and 6 of GoT despite the dip in quality. Season 7 is almost objectively horrible, and it's saddening that the writers greenlit the script for this season. |
Something that occurred to me:
The reason Varys was so useles, while Littlefinger was not as cunning and calculative as beforeis because (sadly) the show keeps going away from the Iron Throne, to the far less compelling White Walkers. So it makes sense in the mind of the writers those characters took a backseat, the Game is not the focus anymore.
