1/ So I quite liked Season 7 of @GameOfThrones.

2/ I found the last couple of seasons quite heavy going -- too much back and forth between too many different storylines.

3/ Arya Stark's initiation into the cult of the Faceless Men in Bravos was a low point. Wanted to fast-forward through those bits.

4/ Season 7 did a good job of clearing away some of the clutter of the previous seasons and tying the remaining storylines together.

5/ The pace of the whole saga quickened, and not just because they had to get through a season on 7 episodes rather than the usual 10.

6/ At times, everything seemed to be moving too quickly -- in particular, the characters seemed to traverse vast distances in a few moments.

7/ It was as if the showrunners realised that if they didn't move things along a little quicker the whole saga wouldn't end till 2030.

8/ But in trying to compress what feels like the final third third of the entire saga into just 7 + 6 episodes, they've lost some nuance.

9/ Which brings me to main shortcoming of Season 7 -- the sacrifice of plot to spectacle. Doesn't make sense? Who cares. Look -- dragons!

Wait. There's a plot? Given zombie giants and zombie dragon, why, even?
