With this episode GoT has reached a new low as it comes to the end, leaving many of us disappointed. So it's no mistake that this episode is now the lowest rated of them all. If you thought the last episode was bad, this one showed it could only get worse. I think much of it can be broken down to a common denominator -
The writers D&D, aren't making the characters progress in a way that that feels natural any more. Instead they are working backwards now. They ask, where do the characters need to end up?
They then make it play out in a rough, rushed way. It feels contrived as the characters and narratives are quickly and awkwardly forced into place. This is especially true for the second half of this episode.
Characters motivations suddenly change and they act unlike themselves. The encounters play out illogically. Important events happen off screen.
The story used to roll along with a gentle, believable stride. The scenes played out in a detailed and meaningful way. Now it is more and more just a rough, rushed affair as the show hurries to an end.
I don't want to rate it lower because the acting, effects and set-pieces remain stunning, sadly there is a little of substance to back it up any more.
It would be sad to see this epic tale go out on a low note. To me, EP2 of this season was one of the best so far- only to be followed by the writing taking a dip for the worse.
Maybe it can still make up for the recent shortcomings, but with these last two episodes going the way they have, it's hard to be optimistic instead of feeling disappointed.
