I don't hate this season either. It has it's issues (but what show doesn't have issues) and overall I liked it. There were definitely shortcuts taken, and it could have been better, but nothing is all bad. I'd really suggest you forget about what others say and go into it with an open mind. There's plenty of positive stuff in the season too. I think a lot of people let a few bad elements spoil the whole season for them.

2025-08-01 03:07:24 +0000 UTCI'm glad your expectations are lower than usual! Obviously without spoiling anything, I don't think it's one big thing that makes people detest this whole season, for me personally it's more what you've already touched on, how RUSHED these last two seasons feel. I wrote a whole rant on the "capture the wight" episode so I won't repeat that now, but the writing has just become subpar because they're just rushing to put everyone into place for these final big things that have to happen, often having people break character or defy logic to do so. And it was all because the showrunners wanted to go do something else. It was shitty of them, and I wish they'd just passed the show onto someone else who could've taken their time to finish it properly. With how epic this show is, and how much of the zeitgeist it took up when it was airing, it deserved an epic final season, and IMO it did not get one (though there is still a lot of cool stuff coming up that I'm looking forward to seeing -- I literally only watched these last two seasons once as opposed to the earlier ones which I've seen SO many times, so there's a lot I don't remember).
