Game of Thrones Jumped the Shark in Season 7: Why Fans Were Disappointed
As a devoted fan of the Game of Thrones, I can’t help but reflect on the series’ descent from greatness, which, in my opinion, began well before the disheartening finale. The seventh season’s sixth episode, “Beyond The Wall,” marked a turning point for me. It was here that an unnerving string of plot inconsistencies, implausible narrative turns, and preposterous antics unfolded, potentially tarnishing the esteemed reputation of George R.R. Martin as a masterful storyteller. Fast-forward six episodes, and this once-mighty TV juggernaut concluded with a whimper rather than a bang. Eight years after “The Wall,” it’s high time we reevaluate the moments when Game of Thrones took an unfortunate leap off the proverbial cliff.
