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.

eh, i agree with that. the bright spot was tormunds story about his name. like yeah I could see that guy just telling tall tales trying to psyche himself out in order to attempt a task that he doesn't believe can be done. the rest of the episode was callbacks to prior seasons. its like they wrote this episode to coerce GoT fans to go back and watch previous seasons just to up the view-count. (because S8E1 set a record)
I've been mildly disappointed with everything and everyone in GoT since Alliser Thorn died.
