You don’t have that this season, so people have been writing their own storyline in their minds for a year and a half. When the visual medium doesn’t live up to the theories in their mind (which is impossible at this point) it gets crushed relentlessly like anything does now days.
I think season 7 is protecting the main characters too much. What makes GOT awesome is that nobody is safe. It hasn’t been like that for a while now. The writers are playing it safe, which doesn’t make it bad, but it also will kill the chance at being great like the past.

Didn't love the episode but can appreciate the challenge of wrapping things up extremely fast. Maybe 3 episodes actually isn't enough to do that. It was really that long middle part that felt choppy. The the show is looking pretty safe in a sprint to the end. But at least it will wrap up. Maybe Martin's challenge is its just so ambitious to wrap up the complex worlds he's created toward an ending.
Also helps me appreciate a show like better call saul that works off of an incredibly simple premise and pays attention to every last detail, even if that means drawing it out for a half hour. Complex shows like lost are brilliantly complex but that often makes it almost impossible to wrap up the story without cutting corners.
