And as I keep saying, the show becoming stupider hasn't made it less entertaining, though I suspect that's because we know it's the end. If things were open ended right now I suspect the criticism would be far greater.

Oh man I said i wasn’t gonna get into this.
I think what happened is the writers realized too late that the books got too big too fast and weren’t about to start eliminating threads any time soon.
I think if they could do it again they’d have veered from the source material sooner. Characters like Euron and the Sand Snakes likely would have been excluded entirely.
As the books went on they introduced new characters and plot lines instead of closing existing ones. And the new storylines weren’t advancing the old storylines either, they were entirely new threads.
Actually that might be why I’m able to enjoy the show. It seems probable that D&D realized it would take more seasons to finish the show than was possible. This was probably around season 5. They’d committed to certain stories and only after realized they should have focused on moving forward the key stories, otherwise they’d end up needing 10 or more seasons. So they did the best they could to close the threads they’d already committed to. When you look at it that way they haven’t done a bad job.
