Why not season 6 or 7? Season 8 is the one that fell off the cliff. Episode S6.E9 is one of the best in all of television history.

- mholm 3y agoSeason 6 was alright, with the ending making up for a largely mediocre season. Season 7 was about as bad as 8, but it's harder to tell because the bad moments weren't character/plot altering payoffs, just teleporting around the map and ignoring depth in favor of spectacle.
- boppo1 3y agoI just felt like 6 is where the writing became very amateurish. Iirc, 5 was where source material ran out. It has been a long time so I can't pick out details but I recall the change in quality between 5 and 6 was pretty Stark to me. One thing I remember is that instead of "smart" characters really being smart, everyone else got dumb as hell. Then the smart character would 'win' and another would make a comment basically explaining how smart they were. I know a lot of people think it was good right until the finale and only dislike it because a certain fan favorite has a "change of character". Except it wasn't a change & was obviously telegraphed since season 3 or 4.
- gothrowaway83t 3y agoI don't think the finale is that bad. My only objection is that the character didn't seem to have been pushed so far based on the previous episodes. It would have been better if the previous seasons showed even more conflicts internally.
