I started half effort watching due to various gf’s. Vested slightly but absolutely not passionate. From my almost neutral angle I don’t see how anyone could say the last two seasons were even in the same hemisphere as the first five.
It peaked for me with the battle of the bastards. Ramsey was one of the best characters ever. Powerful acting. You hated him so much that you had to respect him.
So many things would have irritated me if i was a little more invested. The thing I can’t wrap my head around at all is how the Night King literally only killed one person in the battle. The creators don’t understand how much more powerful it would have been if he just stormed thru a bunch of humans like an unstoppable tank? Think about how cool it was that it was the NK himself that threw the dragon killing spear.
What about the Cersei prophecy? Wasn’t a little brother supposed to choke her to death?
