i'll probably never really be over it. i think the final good episode of the show's run was the dragon battle in 7x04.

what sucks even more is that the storyline was obviously hitting some of the right checkmarks, but doing so in abominable ways that showed just how little the showrunners understood and cared about getting it right.

it also just really felt like it suffered from a lack of creativity and/or intelligence. i feel like the showrunners were given an enormous amount of agency to go from point A to point B and parlayed it into simplistic, dull, stupid, and controversial choices.

jaime choosing cersei in the end is almost certainly going to happen in the books. so is dany roasting king's landing and even stannis burning shireen. but the execution of it, the buildup, is so lazy and poor.
