But, I thought that was the worst episode yet. To me, it came across like an episode from a medieval soap opera on CBS. What I saw was a series of obligatory encounters and reunions and conversations capped off with the classic, "We're going to die and I've never had sex, so let's do this thing."

I realize that the writers and producers are trying to wrap everything up and give the fans what they believe they want, but this could have been written by a freshman creative writing student, IMHO.

To me, it's never been more obvious that the writers are lost without the source material and their true colors are now showing. My takeaway was "predictable" and "trite".

It hurts my soul that this is what they're delivering. Even worse, it's painful to recognize that they can get away with it because the fans are so invested in the characters.

FAX THE DISAPPOINTED

Huh.

You know what? You’re right. There is some hellacious girl power narratives that you could read into the story. But it doesn’t even come up because the story is good.

I really don't get how anybody didn't like that last episode. But to each their own, I guess. :shake:

Speaking solely for myself, it probably has a lot to do with expectations, Mr. Frazod.

I've grown to expect a great deal from this show and, for the most part, they've delivered.

I suppose I'm also affected by the fact that there are now only 4 episodes left. As a result, I'd ideally like each of them to achieve the same level of contextual quality that compares favorably to the series' high points (of which there have been many).

It's all subjective, of course. And it's admittedly difficult to maintain a standard of excellence over this many seasons. The argument could also be made that many of these scenes were necessary in order to wrap things up, I suppose. Nonetheless, if I'm being honest, it seems that the writing has fallen off ... at least for me. GOT has been known for surprise and shock as opposed to predictability. In a nutshell, I think the predictability is what bothered me ...
