I don't get why everyone blames the directors for the shows drop in quality. It's easier to trace than draw free-hand. Blame GRRM for being unable to finish what he started.
Show is definitely several notches below where it was and the last episode was close to the worst episode ever. That said, it's still enjoyable enough to watch.

if they took out tyrion i think the unsullied could have taken out qyburn. not a good move. qyburn is like the only one cersei can trust.

I like his character. I like a show that kills off major characters more.

The Wire
Sopranos
Breaking Bad
The Shield
GoT
After the last season or two it would have to drop out of the top 10?
edit: meant seasons not episodes

Another poster stated this earlier but I wish I would have stopped after season 7 and made up an ending in my head. That would have been more satisfying than what we've gotten

i think it has to be like this. otherwise it would be slow episode after slow episode.
they don't really have anymore content. they could create some by bringing in dorne, but that would just be filler.

They could spend more time on strategy and sedition like they always did. Those scenes between Varys and Tyrion were major this episode and the best this show has been outside of action sequences in a while.

So does everyone agree episode 4 was better than episode 3?
Its like d&d dont like white walkers and wanted them done asap.
The story had a lot more meat to it in episode 4

So how did Bronn reload that crossbow in less than half a second with just his hand when it was previously established that you needed a tool to pull the string back?

And I love Missandei using her last words to tell Dany to burn them.

Otherwise ok episode. Plot holes but I'm alright with another dragon getting taken out of play.

Tyrion getting absolutely spiked with arrows would have been an interesting touch too though

having Dany, Tyrion, a couple unsullied, and Drogon there alone in front of dozens of ballistas and archers was utterly idiotic. Cersei SHOULD have slaughtered them there if they kept her in character.

How the fuk does Dany not notice a huge fleet of ships from above and how are they impossibly accurate at first, then impossible inaccurate the next.

This will be the catalyst for Tyrion to lose faith in Danny.I'd be surprised if most other critics aren't happy about Varys' return to the forefront. He's probably the most dangerous person for Daenerys right now.

That, coupled with Dumb and Dumber running out of ideas and GRRM telling them to fuk off I'm "gonna finish Winds of Winter" resulted in the cluster fuk we got in season 7 and this utter piece of shiit we got now in season 8.It's just so rushed. I don't get why one of the GOAT tv shows of all time tried to cram so much content into so few episodes.

I actually thought episode 4 was pretty good. At least compared to the disappointment that was episode 3 lol. The acting was good, and it doesn't bother me if a character gets killed off unexpectedly. It's more realistic that way. Not every character needs an epic poetic death with several seasons of foreshadowing building up to it. Sometimes chit just happens man

It’s honestly amazing what the show runners and HBO did even with Seasons 1-5ish. GRRM borderline intentionally wrote Game of Thrones so it would be nigh-impossible to translate it to screen, and he thought it simply couldn’t be done
This is an author who returned to writing fiction novels because of his disenchantment with Hollywood, and D&D convinced him to let them take on GOT. Most of us probably wouldn’t be aware of the series at all if it weren’t for that, and they did a wicked job with GRRM’s material
Even the man himself can’t finish the damn story, so I find it difficult to fault the GOT team for not knocking it out of the park with their fresh stuff

They're killing off all the magic in the show.
- all the direwolces and now ghost
- all the white walkers and night king
- 2 out of 3 dragons, one to go
- red woman / beric and Lord of light
All that's left is drogon, the mountain and bran. Rip all 3

Am I the only one still waiting to see a conversation between Jon and anyone about the fact that he died? They just casually mention it like its no big deal at this point. I guess that was another conversation that happened off screen.

Never liked Daenerys or the actress playing her (although that could be that she pulls off the entitled milennial sloot attitude so well), i feel all her actions are completely justified, lost her best friend and advisor, 2 of her "children", most of her army, is actively being conspired against by all her "allies" and inner circle, is about to lose her lover who has more claim to the throne which she dedicated her entire life to conquer back.
