Season 5 was shit but Season 6 was good again. Season 7 is atrocious and basically killed the show. The people working on it are now phoning it in.

Seriously? I thought the last 2 episodes of season 5 were good. The only good episodes of the season.

Wait, scratch that. Episode 8 and 10 were the good ones.

I've had people mock me for sticking to the books and ignoring the show completely.

I'll take an unfinished series of 5 good books over a finished TV show that shits itself by the end. There's enough literature out there that waiting for book 6, if it ever comes out, isn't a problem.

Keep watching. At least finish season 6. You can stop after that.

Season 6 only has one episode I would say is good. You all know the one. I guess it's worth watching for that alone.

7 is atrocious though and a disgrace to the series. It's clear they have stopped giving a shit because they know people will tune in no matter what garbage they shit out

Season 7 was strange. It just felt like they were rushing the story as much as possible. It was like they were trying to get rid of it

I think season 7 might have been good if they just had a couple more episodes to fill in all the gaps in the plot

It's not really about fast travel though. It was so different from the rest of the show. Everything felt rushed. The pacing was bad. The dialogue was often awkward and forced.

I mean, watch season 2 then come back to this... it's completely different.

6 has its weak points, but not to the extent that 5 does. It has a ton of great moments, including one of my favorite episodes. Definitely worth watching.

This was the saddest part for me. I actually watched all 6 seasons for the first time last year back to back around September. I got around to Season 7 around December and the show just felt dead. It was a bit depressing watching it after remembering what the show used to be.

Thats when I quit watching. It just turned into an sjw fest. Plenty of hidden themes if you read between the lines.

I thought about watching the other seasons, but I found out that Arya killed Peter Baelish. He was, IMO, the best bet for the iron throne (its not a popularity contest), and the fact that he was killed by a character who shouldnt have made it past season one really made it worse.

It pales to its earlier seasons because Weiss and Benioff suck at writing.

Sure Martin gave them a rough template of how things will be but it's not enough. They did much better when they had his completed books as a foundation.

I have to agree with this. I honestly think their Confederate show is going to be horrible.

I think they're in a hurry to do confederate as soon as possible so they can advertise it as "made by the makers of Game of Thrones!"

Maybe that's why season 7 felt so rushed, because they're working on Confederate behind the scenes and just want to get GoT out of the way

That could be a factor too. But the writing has been downhill as soon as the show and books diverged from one another.

I still watch and still like the show but I was seeing some cracks a few years ago.

Nah. It's actually good. It finally resolves things and shows us the fantasy elements. Michael Bay's stuff a lot of times is garbage, makes no sense, and has explosions for no reason. Season 7's closer to a MCU movie.
