    Fewer strong episodes. A season that should be rewarding on paper as everything that has been set comes into fruition instead feels vacant and frustrating. You are no longer afraid for what could to yiyr character's as everyone gets away easily. This is a very disappointing installment that no matter of the unpredictable but instead the convenient.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though this season wasn't as good as previous seasons it was still another A+ to me. Lead acting this season was outstanding especially from Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Pilou Asbæk, Gwendoline Christie, Jerome Flynn, John Bradley, and Kristofer Hivju. Supporting acting the season was excellent especially from Diana Rigg, Rory McCann, Iain Glen, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Aidan Gillen, Liam Cunningham, Alfie Allen, and Bella Ramsey. This season the battles and fights were phenomenal especially the battle between the Lannister army against Daenerys, Drogon, and the Dothraki, the battle between Jon Snow, Tormund Giantsbane, The Hound, The Brotherhood, Daenerys, Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion against the undead wights, and the fight training between Brienne and Arya. This season the visual effects were remarkable especially undead Viserion wight, undead Snow Bear, Drogon, and Daenerys riding on Drogon. The costumes this season were terrific especially Lena Headey's costumes, Emilia Clarke's costumes, and Kit Harington's costumes. The storytelling and writing were wonderful this season. The makeup effects were great this season especially on the undead Giant wight and Jorah's Greyscales. The music was great in this season. Also the last scene was really cool. Game of Thrones is still my 2nd favorite tv show of all time.… Expand

    Game of Thrones returns to form with high stakes tension and visually splendid thrills as meticulous power plays help its disparate plot threads coalesce, resulting in long term payoffs for its lovable characters -- particularly the female ones -- in the show's best stretch of episodes.

It was always a show where actions had consequences and no one was saved at the last minute. In the sixth episode just as you think Jon will die (again) Daenerys flies in with her dragons. Then when Jon is left behind his uncle comes along and saves him. How did he even know Jon was there? Then the stupid fight between Sansa and Arya which just made me realize how useless of a character Arya has become.… Expand

    Ignoring all the tropes which separated GOT from other fantasy and embracing ridiculous nonsense based in public, popular, demand, ignoring the fact that the writers are not subject to the whims of the audience, Season 7 truly is the worst season of GOT, and it goes to show that without GRRM's books for guidance, Dan and David are really struggling to capture Thrones essence.

    The only real highlight of this season is Beyond The Wall. Aside from that, It was an obvious rush job. They essentially crammed 2 seasons worth of content into a shortened 7 episode season in order to race to the finish for next season. Not to say that some parts of this season weren't enjoyable but it was rather predictable at times and nowhere near as good as it could have been.

    Game of Thrones season 7 is enthralling and sweeping with excitement that every episode leaves you anticipating the next. Everything on a technical and acting standpoint is incredible, but everything else in terms of writing and story narrative feels rushed, unfortunately. With the show going off from George R. R. Martin books, it becomes more transparent that the details in characters and pacing is lacking. It’s not a bad season, just messy compared to previous seasons.

    Let's start with the positives: The biggest praise I can give for a show like this is making TV cinematic, especially with episodes like “The Spoils of War” that is a treat for the eyes. This is the first time we’ve seen these dragons attack on this grand of a scale. There’s only small incidents where I can recall feeling tense while watching something, but episodes like this proves the excellence of TV - same thing applies with “Beyond the Wall”, in spite of the flaws.

    The first interaction between Jon and Daenerys is great. I liked how they couldn’t stand each other at first with Jon refusing to knee before her and bursting Daenerys ego. I mean, we got two powerful leaders with legendary status clashing with each other. It’s until later when they relationship becomes more tender and open, which would be rush in any other show, but it takes good actors to make it believable in a small amount of time.

    Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke and everyone else is fantastic as usual. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, on the other hand, I thought is really excellent this season, and in previous seasons as well. Beautifully portraying a conflicted Jaime who will make the toughest decisions in the upcoming season finale, as I’m predicting. His facial expressions says it all and I’m glad the actor is finally getting credit - long overdue.

    Viserion death (Daenerys dragon) was heartbreaking and made The Night King a threatening presence. You soon realize that Jon’s bravery is sometimes his flaw, and the whole mission to capture a white walker to show the Lannister's who’s the real enemy wasn’t anything heroic, just suicide. Even when the characters reflect on their foolish decisions, it’s almost similar to when Gandalf from ‘Lord of the Rings’ questions if the whole eagle plan was even a good strategy.

    The visual effects are nearly photo realistic at times, sometimes better than most blockbusters we’re getting recently. The score is breathtaking and Ramin Djawadi doesn't disappoint. The cinematography with the mixture of cold blues and striking landscapes is impeccable. As I said before, everything on a technical standpoint is flawless, but what about the rest?

    Now for my issues:

    I honestly think cutting the episodes down to 7 probably wasn’t the best idea, because with characters zigzagging to different locations with a certain urgency, but not once did I feel there was a pasting of time, as the whole thing felt like it took place in one day. I’m guessing characters can teleport now (not literally), but in the world of ‘Game of Thrones’ it doesn’t sound too far fetched.

    Also, the whole Sansa and Arya subplot is one of the most pointless things ever. It’s only purpose is tricking the audiences into thinking Arya is going to kill her own sister for some sort of revenge, which by the way, her reasoning makes no sense whatsoever. At the end it’s just a trap for Littlefinger, even though there are plenty of scenes when he wasn’t in the room or nearby to eavesdrop - so again, WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO TRICK BESIDES LITTLEFINGER? I didn’t like how Lord Baelish 'Littlefinger' existed the show as I don’t believe the sneaky and collective slimeball would’ve at least went out with a fight. Trial by combat wasn’t an option?

    I’m starting to think the show itself is embracing the fandom a little, because while winter is closing in and tension is rising, the danger for the main characters feels safe with the endless amount of fake outs and convenient rescues. The bamboozle starts whenever a beloved character is facing danger up close and you think the worst will happen, but at the last minute is saved and you sigh with relief. The entire season feels like that and takes away any sort of danger in these type of situations. It’s becoming fan fiction at this point.

    Overall rating: Despite my mixed feelings - I’m still excited for season 8. I mean, I’ve been watching this show from the very beginning so it wouldn’t make sense for me not to be. Again, this is nowhere near a bad season, just wasn’t as strong as the previous ones, mainly on re-watch.    … Expand

    When Daenerys finally arrives in westeros, she will try to take the throne from the lannisters, but at the same time in the north, something really big is happening and Jon Snow will do whatever it takes to defend the land. This season is pretty much about that, Daenerys trying to take the throne, Cersei defending the throne and Jon Snow convincing the rest of westeros that a bigger dangerWhen Daenerys finally arrives in westeros, she will try to take the throne from the lannisters, but at the same time in the north, something really big is happening and Jon Snow will do whatever it takes to defend the land. This season is pretty much about that, Daenerys trying to take the throne, Cersei defending the throne and Jon Snow convincing the rest of westeros that a bigger danger is coming from beyond the wall.
    This season had a major problem, wich is that it made me stop being afraid of the main characters to die, Jon Snow goes through really dangerous situations and i never believed that he could die, he became like the hero of the story and this is a really big problem, in previous seasons i was always afraid of the characters to die, i knew that no one was never safe, but now, there Deus ex maquina situations that won't let the main characters die, that is a big problem in this season.
    There are really few political moments in this season, and those aren't complicated to understand like it was in other seasons. The stories told in this season are way more direct, and some of them aren't really well solved, like somethings really felt that were out of place. A thing that really bothered me was the conveniences and the senseless moments, there is somethings that happens that was just meant to be cool and didn't really made the story flow in a way that had sense, the timelapse in this season was relly wrong, it is better just to forget about it. But in other hand, it wasn't totally bad, it did had some nice political and story moments, mainly between Cersei and Tyrion, these two had the best story moments in the season, one fighting the other with strategy and words, that was very good, the season had some really interesting dialogues among some characters, that is geat, because it gave more structure for them.. There is a lot of fan service in this season, and some of them felt out of place, and the coherence in the narrative was a bit let on side, but it wasn't that bad.
    The action in this season was in other level, it got really beyond anything that we have ever had in a television, HBO is in a completely other level. The coreography here in fights are really involving, it isn't unique, but is pretty damn cool, the dragons during the battles are so dope, they just come and they killed it, they are so dope.
    The season was exciting, it was kind of a payoff of what we had before, it is finally everything flowering.
    The Winterfell nucleo is not the best, it is nice to see what is going on there after so many time, but what happens there feels to much innocent, i got strange with those parts.
    The character of Brandon Stark is horrible now, we just don't understand what he is doing, what functional he have, and he also is a jerk now, that is so bad, his journey in this season is that bad.
    This seasons got some conclusions that are completely Deux ex maquina, it is in a level like some character comes out of nowhere and gave some easy solution, this happens more than one time, it is lazy.
    One good thing about this season is that the winter has finally come, and how they they deal with it was very nice, all the suits are changed, of everyone, even the soldiers, it had a good detail job here. When it finally got there it have a beautiful sequence, done with major and a great song in the background.
    The acting was interesting, Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger did a very good job during the whole series, maybe he was a bit to much caricature, with a deep voice and saying that he wants everything, but still, i totally believed that he knew what he was doing and felt completely safe and having a plan for everything. Maisie Williams in this season had a different behavior, she was like the waif in other seasons, i'm not sure about that, if that was a good idea, i feel that is a totally different character in not the best way, i don't Arya to become a T-1000.
    Emilia Clarke wasn't all that good, her interpretation in some moments wasn't enough for me to believe in some emotions.
    This seasons wasn't perfect, but even with that it never felt boring, the plot runned, somethings was really dumb, but i liked the most part of it.    … Expand

    The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" is basically the calm before the storm. The characters break free from anything that has been holding them back as they have to prepare for war. Meetings, team-ups and alliances that we had or had not expected are finally happening. Winter has arrived. It's probably the fastest, most epic and most beautiful looking season of the show yet.

    This season of Game of Thrones is full of non-stop tension, terrific action sequences and story moments that help fill in the bigger pieces to an almost complete puzzle. While the season is shorter, this show proves why it’s one of the biggest and best in the world.

    The crisp editing of the Arya sequence, exploiting dramatic irony right up to the breaking point, was one among numerous scenes that seemed to indicate Thrones isn't just keeping up to its old standards but actually learning new tricks. Another was the introduction of Samwell Tarly's life in Old Town--who knew this show, which has mastered wartime action but had never produced a quickfire sequence quite like this one, with its repetitive chamber pots to be emptied, could be quite this sharp?

    As per every premiere episode of Game of Thrones, the pace is slow. Setting up each new carefully constructed season--the complex weave of story lines, the huge cast, the breathtaking locations--takes time. But Benioff and Weiss have pulled it off once again, if not with a bit more humor than in previous seasons.
