I'm really sick of people invalidating other peoples criticism about the final season and then patting themselves on the back. Noone had an issue with the actors or the show as a whole. Every shred of criticism is directed at D&D for being incompetent morons that can't write even a halfway decent story without someone holding their hand. I have no doubt that they even ignored criticism from GRRM and the actors. But they can't ignore criticism from the viewers and can't explain this flop to HBO. Hold them accountable and stop making a strawman out of the argument. The writing and only the writing was trash this season don't be afraid to say it.
