It's become a somewhat different type of show (visually focused vs story focused) than what we've been watching up to this season.

And to answer your final question, everyone but you (tic).

You bring up very good points but I thought it was the best episode yet. -- moonda 08/21/2017 3:55PM

GoT is so over-hyped now it can't possibly live up to expectations ** -- 133743Hokie 08/21/2017 2:01PM

I hear you but I find it funny when people complain about the pacing -- Hurley09 08/21/2017 1:01PM

In an often repeated reply to this charge. Those of us who enjoy -- Late 80s Hokie 08/21/2017 1:18PM

Agree. One of the most important things when writing for sci-fi or fantasy -- Tafkam Hokie 08/21/2017 1:37PM

Well, were they European Dragons or African dragons? ** -- vthhhi 08/21/2017 3:22PM

It's because it's a complete departure from the previous seasons. -- vtbones 08/21/2017 1:17PM

Haha. I told my wife of the family connection (I was very proud of myself) -- Hurley09 08/21/2017 1:19PM

Agreed with most everything. -- psychobilly 08/21/2017 12:37PM

The show's former strength is now it's weakness -- WestyHokie 08/21/2017 12:16PM

Really the only thing on that list that "bothered" me was -- AbsolutVT03 08/21/2017 11:59AM

You don't have to have a "Grey Worm" marching montage to still -- Late 80s Hokie 08/21/2017 12:12PM

"So what is the air speed velocity of an unladen raven?" ** -- Late 80s Hokie 08/21/2017 12:14PM

I've actually fallen through an ice covered pond & walked 2 miles -- HortHokie 08/21/2017 11:46AM

First few seasons of GoT proved the creators were willing to kill ANYONE -- Late 80s Hokie 08/21/2017 11:36AM

GoT is now Airwolf. Good guys get hammered until Dany flies in on a dragon -- RoswellGAHokie 08/21/2017 11:24AM

Felt like fan service to me -- Baltimore Hokie 08/21/2017 11:20AM

I'm a big GOT apologist -- VT Pops 08/21/2017 11:18AM

It's fallen into total TV writing now that Martin clearly isn't writing -- RhinoVT 08/21/2017 11:14AM

Martin's probably tapped out and close - if that wasn't it - jump/shark ** -- `lag 08/21/2017 1:23PM

Agreed, and I get that, and I'm not surprised. -- Will Stewart

I tried not watch when the show got ahead of the books but now the only way -- RhinoVT 08/21/2017 11:23AM

Everything about this season is rushed. -- Naelbis 08/21/2017 11:56AM

If the show continued at the pace GRRM writes it would never end -- Manbearpig 08/21/2017 12:09PM

I think that's probably the biggest part of them shortening seasons and -- AbsolutVT03 08/21/2017 4:02PM

It's because it's a complete departure from the previous seasons.
