That Viserys crown scene in episode 8 was great. The girl power dragon scene in episode 9 was horrible.

Generally speaking, the plotting was much worse and more basic than the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.

Like that fight at the wedding or the fight between the kids with the stabbed out eye. That was very basic. The Littlefinger plots were much better and well thought out.

And Viserys was not as interesting a character as the father in Succession. He just tried to keep the peace. That was a bit one-note in comparison to the cool and badass patriarch of Succession.

What is it with all those birth scenes? Do we really need to see a new bloody birth scene in every second episode?

The dragons are cool. So was the dragon fight in the last episode. Daemon is cool, too.

I loved the map table.

The first episodes were too slow.

This season has not been as good as it could have been. The problem is that George does not have script approval. And the writers of this season simply don't seem to care as much for his story as he does. It's not as intricate. The details don't work as well as when he himself writes it. If HBO is clever, they should give him script approval for everything!
