The "nerds gonna nerd" comments are silly for imdb/ GoT.
take a look at how high most of the episodes are rated, even in S7 when "nerds" were already complaining about the writing quality. S8 is just yet another big drop in writing quality that the more casual viewers are also bothered by.

I've somehow avoided GoT and by the time the hype was at its peak I decided I would wait for the show to finish before watching it.
Everything I hear about the last season has been bad though. Is the journey worth it?

I can see what the producers of the show did here. In order to save costs, they got funding for a full season, but used that money to produce only 6 episodes, which totally limited their storyline potential. Greed ruined the show.
True.
But it is also true that yesterday's episode was total garbage, i never knew that a show could fuck over its characters that much in 1 hour and a half.
I mean it was an okay episode
but yeaaaaaaah the writing was pretty bad. lol
That was truly an episode of broken fanfiction

No, the writers Dan and Dave, wanted to end the series last season as they were tired of working on the show and wanted to move on. HBO wanted to keep going, but wanted to keep them as the writers/ show runners. They met in the middle and did 13 episodes split into two seasons instead of 20 ep/ 2 seasons. The whole budget excuse is BS to an extent.
Kinda feel like Cersei would look a little more pregnant considering the amount of time that passed since she told Jaime she was pregnant. Perhaps she was never pregnant or this is a further example of bad writing.
It also felt like the producers tried to push the idea that "Good Dany" died with Ser Jorah in Winterfell but seemed poorly executed.

This episode was nowhere near as bad as some of season 7.
But it needed more time. The plot beat with Euron and he dragon was reasonable enough, it just needed to be actually thought out rather than the cartoon version we got.
They really should have dispatched Cersei/Euron in season 7 and dealt with Dany v Sansa v Night King in the final season.

Yes, it's still a fantastic show, and you will find me complaining a lot about the current season. It's still very entertaining and a spectacle, it just doesn't quite measure up to the heights it hit in its earlier seasons. Still well worth the watch though, and you'd b e hard pressed to find another tv show with such high production values.
Yeah the number in itself is pretty good but you have to put it in context. Until now the lowest rated ep was 8.1. In context, a GoT episode scoring under 8 on imdb is bad.
Was a trash episode tbh. How tf does
Just such a dumb ass way to try and even the playing field.
The last 2 episodes have just been utter garbage. Obviously just a case of D&D being like "fuck you we got our money".
Daenerys not see the massive ass fleet of ships before they shoot?

They really didn't wind things down they way they should have, and tried to just cram it all into this season. It feels rushed because it IS rushed, IMO.

The hand waving of legitimate criticism of this show never ceases to amaze me.
Yes, because this is a valid comparison.
Exactly.
Last night's episode felt like Goldberg just running in and spearing/jackhammering Brock Lesnar in a 15 second match before heading back up the ramp into the lockeroom.
What is this? You can't be critical of one of the best TV shows? On a video game forum even.
Same. I don't know if it was the worst episode of the series. But, it destroyed my faith in the series ending well, despite enjoying the first three episodes of the season.
Uh, Tony was constantly scrutinized for how he handled his personal matters.
In addition to have a low opinion on last night's episode, I can say that I have a very low opinion on what we've seen of the season so far. Maybe even lower than I do for season 5. If you like it that's OK!, but it should be OK to be able to say that you don't like it and the reasons why without being called stupid, a nerd or whatever derogatory term is the day's fashion.
He's been ruined since season 5.
Jokes aside though,
When he came to Winterfell from King's Landing, did he really think he'd go right back after fighting against the White Walkers? No, he absolutely came North with the intention of never going back- or at least that's how the show portrayed it. When he arrived at Winterfell, he told them everything he knew about Cersei's plans and the fact that she'd hired the Golden Company.
Him deciding to go back because he fears Dany will now definitely murder Cersei makes no sense, because really, was there ever any doubt that that wouldn't happen? His decision to go back just seems like an awfully convenient one that serves no purpose beyond creating artificial unnecessary drama, and also completely ruins the big step his character took at the end of last season.

Jon ditching him was bad, but you could see the wolf was severy wounded. sending the poor dog outside the wall is a douchebag action
The spoiler-free version, every major sequence seemed to happen out sheer convenience to make the finale more interesting/plausible.
- Cersei having a seemingly unstoppable dragon killing weapon
- Dragon being killed by said weapon out of no where and without being seen because of "rocks"
- Missandei being captured and killed
- Varys and Tyrion exchange
- The secret not being a secret literally seconds later
- Tyrion not being killed as he approached King's Landing
- If the ballista could snipe a dragon clean out the sky 1000s of meters away at sea, why couldn't it snipe and destroy Dany's entire army out of KL's with ease?
