Now that it is full blown zombie Apocalypse, this show is no longer nearly as interesting. I will watch the last season and I am sure it will be good, but I have less anticipation for these season than any previous season.

Some interesting stuff in the trailer.
I've read the books but only watched the first season. It seems like the HBO series is ahead of the books now. Did Martin have hand in the direction it took or did the series just go off on it's own?
The consensus seems to be that he gave them general direction only, such as confirming whether certain theories were true or not.
The show runners are very much in charge, and the show is better for it.
In term of wrapping it up, yes. But the last couple of seasons hasn't been as good writing as the previous seasons (which were heavily based on the books), by a long shot. It's very clear that the series 'went hollywood'. Still great tho

Supposedly the plot of the first episode was leaked this weekend. Some interesting rumors circulating.

It seemed like not particularly creative fan fiction. That said, the Season 7 leak turned out to be dead on, including weird stuff like Queen of Thorns dying halfway through the season, Grey Worm taking an army all the way to Casterly Rock, and Dorne basically written out of the show early in the season.
I haven't been paying attention on purpose. Let's not throw them up on here. Even with spoiler tags, cause some dumb idiot will reply and forget to add the tag.
Not surprised. The writing has taken a turn for the worse since the books finished. Unlike @ above, I don't think the show runners did a good job tying up Martin's self created plot mess. Martin got superjohn for adding new characters once the books became a success (my theory), and wrote himself into a snake pit with almost no way out. While it was probably a difficult task for the show runners to extricate themselves from that mess, I think they did a less than stellar job of doing it.
Show is still very good of course.
Where the show suffered is not in the plot but the dialogue. Tyrion in particular became a much less intriguing character once they ran out of source material.
That sequence is a mess. The oddest part was how the Night King and his minions come across four 400 foot long chains 6 foot in diameter. It’s not like there’s a Home Depot on Skagos .There are a ton of plot holes that could have been cleaned up really easily. And if we're being honest, that entire scene of them capturing the white, ending up on the island, the guy travelling 500 miles back to the wall in a days time....all so they could have a dragon killed.
That definitely could have been done entirely different. And better. jmo tho

And I love how the whites couldn't muster up the gumption to cross the over the ice lake, yet had no problem swimming on down to the bottom to hook the dragon?
Why did the first undead to find a human get the choicest cut of flesh?I'd just like to amend my previous post by changing it to "wights", as opposed "whites".
All the black, brown, and yellow undead folks were equally as afflicted by the same trepidation at the edge of the lake there. Not playing favorites here.
