I enjoyed it as well, but story-telling wise it was somewhere between abstract and clunky with weak plot development, as well as very steroided out at times (same as GoT Season 6 with the steroids) which is why I made the comparison. As GoT has a lot of dead air, and at least 3 episodes packed with time wasting.
I'd take a couple more seasons of True Detective with Season 2 quality, but it doesn't change the fact it needed help. D&D being given autonomy over the show beyond the books hasn't panned out very well. I.E. wasting 3 episodes of Season 6 on steaming shit and filler.
If they weren't burning dead air and screen time constantly then I'd "give them some slack". They don't deserve any slack. This is a AAA production and execs should have moved in on it, period.
"We did EQ1" is a euphemism for arrogance and I think D&D possess a lot of that based on the success they have seen with someone else's storyboard. They are overdue for a gut check that they are not getting, per HBO's M.O. which is to praise early work and give passes out based on who the show-runner is. Same with Boardwalk's final season with Terrance Winter.

100% agreed.
sooo, being that D&D know the end and are clearly fast tracking to that point.. do we think that Arianne Martell will end up killing her father (Doran) at some point (since they tried to merge some of Arianne Martell into Ellaria Sand)? or do you guys think thats just pure show garbage?
