But I don't have to gleefully lap it up. And that's my point - had THIS been the quality of the show from its commencement, it would've been cancelled 4 years ago. D&D were handed an incredible property and told to make it their own. They don't have the chops for it.
If you can't acknowledge that the GOT folks are engaged in objectively shitty storytelling at this point, I just don't know what to tell you. They're doing a bad job.

Can't totally agree here. GoT is so popular because it appeals in so many different ways. As a book reader you appreciated the competent worldbuilding early on. There's scads of viewers who simply revel in the no-holds-barred spectacle.
If you know what's being left out and are looking for the plot holes, you're starting to be disappointed. If you sit down for eye-popping visuals with a passable underlying narrative, you're still a pig in shit.
It's still superior to most blockbuster cinema out there.
