OK, fair.... I just couldn’t think of another long-running spectacle-type show to compare to.
The fact that Walking Dead is probably GoT’s biggest competition in terms of sheer cultural influence probably says plenty about how the show stacks up to other things on TV (i.e. it annihilates them).
We all agree it’s not at its best, but honestly it had NO RIGHT to continue to be even remotely good. The fact that it’s got some of the best and most cinematic sequences — and, indeed, entire episodes — on “TV” is really quite impressive, given the fact that everything after season 6 has been one big fat experiment in what the fuck to do when you’re adapting a series that the author can’t be arsed to complete.
One look at the Battle of the Bastards, or the last minutes of season 7 (zombie, dragon, wall, OMG) or literally any episode from this season proves that more thought and time is still being put into this thing than most other shows get at their best.
*shrug*
If it is shorty, it’s GRRM’s fault. But it’s not. It’s just got a lot of Dunkirk-type moments now. Action sequences are top fuckin’ notch.
