I'll get us started...

I don't like the show's version of the Blackfish. Not to say I dislike the performance at all...but I feel like the show writers tried to build the Blackfish up at the expense of Edmure and that really rubs me the wrong way.

What's your unpopular show opinion?

The ensemble cast were getting burnt out by the demands of the show. D and D certainly fucked up the franchise, but competent show runners would have had to rush the ending as well. It wouldn't have sucked as bad, but it still would have been rushed.

The after show extra where they said "Dany kind of forgot about the iron fleet" was when I stopped caring and started watching like it was a plot synopsis on Wikipedia. Which was a pretty good choice cause that's how it felt like it was made.

@Casey_Masterpiece @MushuChupacabra The sad thing is that the "Inside the Episode" explanation often undermined far better explanations being posted by apologist fans.
