I know that I wasn't entirely disillusioned (though on the way) until the "Beyond the Wall" episode, where I basically lost hope that they could ever recover some semblance of narrative coherence or believable characters. That was almost without doubt the worst episode of the series. And there was a ton of flack here and elsewhere.
The worst thing for me, personally, was that the first two episodes of season 8 gave me a new hope that they could get it back on track. That the warping, plot armour, and trope creation of seasons 5 through 7, culminating in "Beyond the Wall", might be worth it because - hey - they had to get everyone together somehow for the showdown with the WWs.
And episode 2 was so good: so much about it gave me hope.
Then, well, episode 3 happened, and I guess everyone's sick of my opinions on that.
