I think GoT is one of the best series ever. But the only time I completely shut off the critical parts of my mind is when I don't care about what I'm watching. And I care about GoT.
I also find that when a series, book, etc has demonstrated very high standards, the slip-ups and bad decisions stand out more. IMHO, Abbey Road is one of the best albums by the best band ever. Which makes Maxwell's Silver Hammer all the more terrible of a song. Similarly, there were scenes in this episode so dumb that they abruptly jarred me out of the happy state I was in.
I'd rate the first three episodes of Season 8:
Ep 1: 9/10
Ep 2: 10/10
Ep 3: 8/10
