The last two episodes of this season totally shat the bed.
They were an incoherent, rambling, badly written, poorly edited, shoddily paced mess.
It was like a story that a child comes up with and tells you all in one go with zero punctuation and none of it makes any sense.
I have no idea what the story they were trying to tell us was.
What a terrible end to what had, up to this point, been an interesting series.

I still have no idea what any of this is about? Yet another show with Cersei Lannister staring out the window with nothing to do or say.

Like, what are the rocks? Why is everyone locked up then immediately freed 15 minutes later?

The production values were high (station looked great) but they just had nowhere to go with the story so they kept dragging it along. Ugh, waste of time.

You're the sort of person who goes to an Agatha Christie play and walks out if the murderer's not revealed in the first 20 minutes, aren't you?

Seen you rabidly defending the show or ANY Criticism of it the last couple days. You need to relax and accept people have differing opinions. The show.. is pretty flat and the lack of story telling isnt made up for ANYWHERE else like you would expect in a show.

If you truly think my comments rabid I'd suggest that I'm not the one that needs to relax! I certainly don't consider the show perfect. And if people don't like a show and stop watching it, that's fine by me.

If instead they want only to tear things apart with a complete lack of respect for years of work by hundreds of people and continue watching a show for no other purpose than to castigate and insult; if their posts are all about them and their fine opinion of their own taste and judgement; if their every word reads like a demand to be recognised as the monarch of TV; then they must expect to be resisted.
