It's not just me, most TV critics, once big fans of the show are having some pretty serious reservations with where it's going. I mean, I can be a fan of the show and also be critical of it can't I?

It's been a topsy-turvy season for the HBO fantasy drama and tonight's episode, 'Beyond The Wall,' is just more evidence of that. While we got some incredible action scenes, gratifying CGI, and a few good moments of dialogue, the episode was also so pocked full of plot-holes and inexplicable writing decisions, I came away from it feeling incredibly letdown.

The ridiculousness began as soon as Jon Snow and his merry band of wight-hunters began their trek north of the Wall in search of a reanimated corpse to capture and bring back to Cersei. The plan was ill-formed from the start, and they made some baffling decisions along the way. Yet their mission was ultimately successful, give or take a dragon death.

Not only did the tiny search party stumble upon a separated group of wights sooner rather than later, but they discovered that killing one White Walker probably kills every wight that it turned — in a moment that fortuitously still left them a single wight to capture. And from there, they made a series of miraculous escapes from what should have been certain death. There were countless holes in this idea and its execution, and yet, Jon Snow emerged victorious and alive once again.

In an effort to highlight the glaring moments of “Beyond the Wall” that just didn’t make any sense, we came up with 27 basic questions that the episode failed — or more accurately, didn’t even try — to answer.

This penultimate episode suggests that, for now at least, spectacle has the upper hand – and with that comes a host of problems. For while the stand-off with the Night’s King’s forces, Dany’s ride to the rescue and the dragging of Viserion from the icy deep were fun to watch (who wouldn’t gasp at the possibility of a zombie ice dragon?) the script was almost unbearably clunky.

This is not the same Thrones that fans adored through its first five seasons—a show with close attention to detail and lovingly crafted characters and plotlines. While things began to crack last season—its first without the guiding light of George R.R. Martin's books—it has become clear that the writers don't know how to complete the author's vision.

It goes on...
