Spoiler for Hidden:

Made it feel like Daenerys found Jon Snow and company in like 5 seconds. 

Finished Episode 3 of Season 8. 

Spoiler for Hidden:

So I felt like this was a really awesome zombie TV, but it was bad Game of Thrones TV. 

It didn't feel like they had a plan. They didn't beat impossible odds by being clever, they won by being lucky and having bad writing.  Arya magically appearing in the big zombie circle and taking out the Night King easily.  I have a lot of complaints. It felt kind of dumb they just had the Dothraki charge in. It felt like earlier seasons would have made them do smarter things. I don't even know what that would look like, but I could imagine them building multiple walls of fire, having the archers shoot flaming arrows first before charging. Stuff like that. 

But I think it was fantastic from a zombie point of view. Like the whole scene where the Dothraki charge into the zombie horde is kind of fantastic from that point of view. Watching the flames die out one by one, is kind of amazingly harrowing. 

Good way to put it. Not bad tv, not compared to the average show, just not at all the style of other seasons.

Stuff happens because the plot wanted it to happen and you can tell.

The two showrunners wanted out I'm pretty sure, so they just rushed the hell out of it.

Yeah the from a scene by scene perspective some shots were super cool and amazing. But it felt like they just thought of certain ideas and meshed them into the episodes.  

It certainly was horrible writing. They didn't bother even explain the whole knight king plot and the reasons behind it.

But that grounded everything. It felt like westeros was so large. And that travel meant something, it was dangerous because anything could happen during travel. Then it's just .. ya 5 seconds later we are all the way from the south to the north

I really loved the grounding!

It was great for plot reasons. No teleportation. But it sucked when the show hypes up the destination and yet the whole season focuses on the journey.
