I mean, seriously?

D&D have made it impossible for me to further suspend my disbelief in this show, the plot holes are ridiculous, you have millions of dollars and advisors and outside help and years to create the final season and this is the result?

A college student could have written a better script for the past two episodes.

Pathetic and disappointing.

I'm gonna try to be as objective as I can here.. This episode was not by any means bad, nor was the three previous episodes. However, this is by far the most inconsistent season yet. Everything is rushed and there is virtually no buildup to anything. Everything happens to quick and as a result it's hard to get emotionally invested. I understand that they ran out of books to steal from but it feels like the writers are not even trying anymore. They should have kept the 10 episode formula and spent a little more time writing a decent script instead of focusing solely on meaningless dialogues and action scenes. Although I understand the frustration from long-time viewers, this is not 1/10 material. It's still good by television standards, but not by Game of Thrones standards.

The episode is not as bad as other reviews are portraying it. Last 10 minutes could have been a lot better. It seems like they are in so much of hurry to wrap up the series!

Poorly written, predictable and lost its way in terms of attention to detail. This episode equally as bad as last weeks tripe we was fed.

Game of thrones has fallen into the trap of becoming a ruined masterpiece.

Casual fans will have enjoyed this season, but fans who have watched the series more than once will be dissatisfied like myself.

They now have two episodes left to explain so much, which I don't think they will now bother.

I feel like I'm watching this season, just to get it out of the way now rather than enjoying it and feeling excited for the episodes as they are released.

George R.R. Martin must be fuming!

Because I literally heard one of the writers that "Dany forgot about Euron's fleet"

You suck so much D&D

Logic is completely out the window. All the character development over the last decade is utterly and completely gone. I loved this show and now unfortunately I could care less. Will I finish the story out, yes but the interest has dropped massively this season. It's hot garbage at this point, which is so disappointing. The only one who deserves the throne is Ghost.

HBO has made GRR Martin's epic story just another lame TV show

I hoped it would never happen to the show, but it did. This show had been so superior in writing for the longest time and now it's just cutting corners for the sake of setting up some cool shots or dramatic takes, and it's an extreme disservice to not only the loyal fans but GRRM himself. I've tried to excuse it for the last couple of episodes, but this is not the Game of Thrones that I've loved for the longest time. I thought Game of Thrones was better than choosing shock-factor over actual storytelling, but I was wrong. I truly hope others can enjoy the new direction the show is taking, and if you do, then you are extremely lucky and I hope it lives up to your expectations. Sadly, however, I am not one of them. I'm sorry this is how it is ending, GRRM, because I don't think this is what you'd have wanted.

Remember the first seasons of the show? That time when we used to let ourselves be surprised by it, without any expectations or theories? It was so much more enjoyable. Well, since then, the show has not changed much, but the viewers' attitude towards it sure did!

Now everyone thinks they know best how the story is supposed to go, who deserves to be the hero and who to die and when and how. And if the story doesn't fit their narrow idea about how everything is "supposed" to happen, they hate it... it's such a shame, because this is one of the best shows that we've ever had.

This episode was amazing. As were all, so far. If you want to enjoy this show like you used to, my advice is to stop listening to the haters until the show is over. They really do know how to pick every detail apart to make it seem like a bad show. If they can't enjoy it, that does not mean you shouldn't.

OK, the funny thing is that I truly think this is the best episode of this season so far, but that's not saying much.

Look guys, D&D are not mr. George Martin and it has been showing since last season. The showrunners did a fantastic job adapting George's material (that's out of any question) but when they were left on their own to continue with the story, they have not been up to the task.

Is this episode an absolute piece of idiocy, the worst thing ever aired on TV? Nope, of course! Even when reduced to a shadow of its former self GOT delivers some really great entertainment; but when you have in mind the outstanding quality of the first six seasons I can understand the fury and disappointment that has been running wild among fans, leading to those 1 ratings.

Once again it all goes to the writing. Lazy, uninspired, kind of botched...they seem to be interested in wrapping up the story as quickly as possible, leaving no time for nuances, or character evolution. The choices that both the story and characters take look absolutely rigged, not earned...and that's something that sorely sticks out in a show like GOT. So that's all I think we are going to get in the last 2 episodes: fantastic production values and great acting by the cast tarnished by the lazy writing. Sad...but most probably true!

"Dany forgot about the iron fleet."

Guess what D&D, no one remembers how you started - everyone will remember how it ended. You ruined Game of Thrones.

I don't want to rant or complain about this episode or series. I just wanted a good end to a great show. It's honestly heartbreaking to see this show end with such mediocrity.
