but seasons 1-4 I would not have missed them. best show ever. but from s5 on it gets silly and sloppy and s8 wow... i felt like someone should go to prison for this, like someone deliberately damaged a pierce of art. i was so engaged with this show that i felt personally attacket by this terrible season 8 plot disaster.
This is because season 5 is when it really leaves the source behind, or at least, starts taking the path away from source harder. I think S05e04 is the last episode I watched simply because too much was happening that wasn't source, which meant everything else to come that was going to be way out of whack. S04 really fucked me off though. I had been waiting for the battle of the wall for so long, all the other e09 episodes of seasons past were so good, then the battle at the wall felt so lackluster compared to what could have been. I really gave up on it after that.
The first few seasons though were absolute gold. I will never not feel good about stopping watching that given how much hatred the later seasons got. Never watched them, never will. Just like i'll never read the rest of the books cause he will never fucking release them.
