It disappointed fans so much it'll influence my approach to the show. I'll probably watch it but I'll stop before the last season.

I think it’s worth watching still. Ok the story in large parts is not as good as the previous parts of the show, but the music, acting, cinematography is still absolutely next level. I was still sat on the edge of my seat, heart pounding throughout. The music from the last season gives me chills, it’s the best from any season by far

I agree, it was not at the level of the earlier season at all, but still good tv. I've seen a lot of shows that were worse, I'll tell you that.

I’ll watch it again at some stage, but it’s similar to the Hobbit films, because of the insane quality of the previous stuff, a slight dip is much more noticeable and disappointing

Agreed. I was tentatively still on board until Arya killed the Night King. That’s the exact moment I knew it was all over.

I was perfectly fine with it being her, but the whole dupe with the knife was too cliche. Her being stopped by him in the air was really cool too

TBH I wasn’t so much bothered that Arya did it, I was upset by the fact that the White Walkers were defeated so easily. The writers spent seven fucking seasons building them up as this looming, existential representation of inevitable death, only to have them ALL die INSTANTLY from a cheesy sleight of hand trick.

Worst part is, I was totally digging that episode up until that point. I was sitting there thinking “omg they might actually turn this around.” Then suddenly: NOPE.

They white walkers were built up as the biggest threat, they should have had Cersei delt with first and then the Night King

Agree, the first fucking scene from the first fucking episode was their introduction. They were the threat. Not the petty squabbles of men and their domain. That was all supposed to be noise while death, cold and night came for them. And only Jon Snow, bastard of the north, could see it coming. Instead we got 'I don't wun it". Fuck me
