Not perfect, but still wonderful (no spoilers)

This season, due to Mr. Martin's lack of business, the book has not yet been written, and the TV series has come out first, so the quality of the script has declined, and there is also the suspicion of deliberately pleasing the audience, which is beyond doubt.
But as for what some people say is the third-rate American drama, I personally think it is pure nonsense. Maybe it's because the expectations are too high, and some people are inevitably disappointed, which is also inevitable, after all, the screenwriter can't satisfy everyone.
Personally, I think the first four episodes are sloppy. The fifth episode is exciting, and the last two episodes are high-energy. Of course, the chaos of the timeline is really painful.
The quality of this season is all based on the following episodes. Although there are some flaws in the plot, there is no way to do it. There are only a dozen episodes left to finish the finale. The capacity can hold the contents of the thousands of pages of books that Mr. Martin has not yet written.
The story is now, in fact, the plot behind it is already well guessed. Several main lines have begun to converge, and all the branch lines can be cut off (although it is a bit cramped). Behind it is Westeros, under the leadership of Dragon Mother and Jon Snow, united against aliens. The ghost story, obviously going backwards, this show is basically unlikely to have the convenience of the previous seasons, but can you say that it will not be exciting later? Of course not, based on the theme of fantasy, the ending has never been a mystery, just like the Lord of the Rings, you know the ending after reading the beginning, but people still like to watch it. The tone of Martin in the first few seasons was very good, and it also laid the groundwork for the main line of the war between people and the White Walkers in the future. It's a battle of ice and fire, man and white ghost, life and death, so closing the line is an essential preparation for the decisive battle. Like I said before, the TV series has limited space, and it can only be sloppy.
It is expected that the quality of the script in the next season will improve, because the plot has made great strides in an irreversible direction, and the screenwriter has no choice but to let his thoughts fly. It is estimated that the special effects budget will increase significantly in the next two seasons.
So I'm still waiting for the palace fighting theme of the previous seasons. Friends who don't get bento at every turn will be disappointed in the next season and
look forward to the next season!


ps: After reading a few drama reviews, some of them are really straight to the point, but some of them wrote reviews without watching the drama seriously. No matter what, I think those who gave two stars are really low.
