But I don't have to gleefully lap it up. And that's my point - had THIS been the quality of the show from its commencement, it would've been cancelled 4 years ago. D&D were handed an incredible property and told to make it their own. They don't have the chops for it.

If you can't acknowledge that the GOT folks are engaged in objectively shitty storytelling at this point, I just don't know what to tell you. They're doing a bad job.
To be fair, people were similarly pissed at PT. 1 of Season 5 of Breaking Bad, no one remembers this because PT. 2 of Season 5 was absolutely spectacular.

I'm hopeful that GRRM's conclusion is strong enough that D&D can conclude with a satisfying finale.
