Top 5 moments in show history:

1. Jon Snow Hardhome speech

2. Jon kills first white walker

3. Jon kills second white walker

4. Jon executes Janos Slynt

5. Jon fucks Dany on ship
Hearing the speech was a voiceover or dub...he might have not have been a good enough actor to nail it when pressure was on

A John Milius quality speech it was not

I was gonna cancel NOW, but then I came across Chernobyl, rewatching Generation Kill, my son found a love for Land Before Time... so I may just keep it.
Never seen the show Chernobyl. Sounds good, I will have to check it out.

I'm liking it. Forgot it was a new series and was floored when I couldn't binge watch it. Netflix has ruined me with them releasing whole seasons a once.

I watched a few clips from season 1 on youtube. What's striking is that the show was already wrecking itself before the later seasons with the incest storyline. Jaime buggering Cersei was the main story and it kicked off the wars that were the entire point of the first few seasons.

But at some point everyone just accepts it and eventually they just start openly fucking, making the entire story meaningless. It means 3/5 main story arcs were thrown away - the 5 being: Incest war, Night King, Jon Snow's parentage and its implications, Danerys Quest for Throne and Bran the Broken - with the two latter final ones being boring and nonsensical. It kills any ability to re-watch the show.

I have heard a few detailed critiques of where the show went wrong but they honestly don't even scratch the surface.

Oh and the Dragon melting the throne...get it guys? Get it??
did you get that a stream of energy hot enough to sublimate a thousand pounds of steel in seconds managed to singe not a single hair on the head of the guy standing 10' away?

Where do you think they went wrong? Season 5? Season 6? Earlier?

They started to mess with the incest story line well before the show properly started going off the rails in season 5. It might be a fat fuck Martin problem, not a show-specific problem.

They changed it from being seen as a rumor that was defended as a conspiracy peddled by usurpers to something everyone knew and was just used as a punchline. Jaime even just talks about it with Catelyn and Brienne. Eventually they just start letting people walk in on them in bed.

It makes everything that preceded it seem silly.
