Dany inexplicably snapping at the sound of bells and killing everyone for no reason. I get theres supposed to be the Targaryen insanity gene or whatever but there was zero lead up to it.
They spent all that time building Jamie up as if he was going to completely turn against Cersei, only to have him go crawling back to her.
I remember the first really terrible thing for me was Arya vs The Waif. That whole encounter (the chase after Arya was stabbed, The Waif acting like The Terminator) and Arya's departure made me think there was no way it was to be taken at face value because of how stupid it was. Everything just got worse from there.
I remember quite well the week between eps of Arya getting knifed and Arya confronting the Waif / leaving the Faceless Men. Fan theories and conspiracies were running a mile a minute: "There's no way that was Arya, it had to be a patsy somehow wearing Arya's face to lure the Waif out!" Because there was just no way - no...fucking...way - that the show / writers would be so profoundly stupid as to have things play out at face-value.

So it was really jarring. Then for the rest of the series both are rolling around with laughably cringe stoic faces and given the direction that "no emote means very cool beans" by the showrunners I'm assuming.

I thought the Unsullied had no penises.That was just a banana in his pocket.

In the past, if showrunners weren't on board with the show anymore the studio would just get new showrunners.I know everyone praises the end of season 6 but it was so insanely fucking stupid I could never comprehend it
Weird that it didn't happen here I wonder why. Since D&D clearly didn't want to do it anymore, I'm surprised the execs didn't get people more passionate to spearhead the show.
But honestly there has always been crap moments. Lol shirtless ramsay fighting squid family gang. Lol "you crave the bad vagina" . Lol that kid that just walked out the window. Lol cersei blowing up temple and going welp I'm queen now and everyone is like "seems legit"
Its always been bad, but it got egregiously bad in season 5, when the previous 4 seasons were just tolerably bad. Season 6 had highs but mainly crap too.
For me, it was the simple fact that Arya - a girl previously praised for her intelligence by one of the most intelligent lords in Westeros (all while successfully hiding her identity from said lord), who was able con a professional assassin into doing her bidding - was so monumentally stupid as to be walking around Braavos undisguised in broad daylight after having just pissed off a group of world-renowned shapeshifting murderers, with very predictable results.
I thought the Unsullied had no penises.Daneyraes stopped castrating new unsullied, she wasn't gonna keep up the practice come on man no way hose say.

I know everyone praises the end of season 6 but it was so insanely fucking stupid I could never comprehend itI confuse 5 and 6. When was
Cersei murders hundreds of lords and the bulk of the primary religious order of Westeros and everyone just goes along with it
I confuse 5 and 6. When wasJamie and Olenna's scene?I left after that. I'm a Tyrell supporter from the books. I hate that lead up. I hope the reveal is what I always suspected to what happened.
Arya ninja'ing out of a tree and killing the Night King was beyond ridiculous.It was an assassin's creed reference if I recall incorrectly because the showrunners loved playing the game specifically brotherhood
for me it was definitely how dark the scenes were. Like they might as well have just made the entire screen black and had a narrator tell us what happened.I think this was to save on budget

The long night being literally one night instead of an all out devastating war.
The jump the shark moment was the Sand Snakes killing Martell. That's the moment when I realized "oh there is no plan."
if the Long Night was longer there would have been a whole season of people complaining it was too darkThere's an easy solution to that
You know, to this day fans still debating if in a song of ice and fire grrm is removing both the root and stem or just the testes and keeping the penis.There is no debate. The literal introduction of the Unsullied has the slave master explicitly state that they completely remove the penis and testicles and he even scoffs at people who only remove the testicles.
