Personally I thought the episode tonight was fine - my guess is the people with the biggest objections are those that thought Dany was the protagonist of this show when in reality this show never had a protagonist - there are no heroes in this show.
I think what the show is driving to is that when push comes to shove the characters haven’t changed that much and their core deep down traits is what is their demise.
Jamie: in the end his love for his sister was his death.
Jon: His need to always be “honest” and “truthful” will likely be his demise.
Tyrion: Deep down he believes in the good of people and that people can change (Cersei, Jamie, Dany)...probably won’t work out for him
Varys: His goal to always find who is “best” for the throne instead of staying loyal was his death
Dany: Her entire personality being tied to her being the “true heir” to the throne drove her mad once that was challenged
These have been the traits of these characters since day 1 - and now that it’s getting close to wrapping up these character traits that once made them successful are leading to stupid decisions.
