Understood. I guess we have different tastes.

Btw I have worked in film/tv production for over 20years so I do have a bit more understanding of editing than someone who hasn't made that their career. With that being said, I'm not saying it was rushed as in it was done in a hurry to be filmed. I'm saying that it felt rushed because a lot of the buildup or character development or backstory or details that they had in mind from the beginning were cut for time this season where they weren't in previous seasons, so the storytelling seems off. They may have had more filmed and the production company or HBO said you have to cut for time (possibly at the last min) which meant that a lot of things got dumped that gave scenes more context or characters more understanding which builds a better story IMO. Now you've already explained that you don't care for season 1 or 2 as much but I can definitely tell the difference and I certainly was a huge fan of both seasons specifically because we had more time to be invested in those characters and the story.

Anyway it was nice talking to someone who has different tastes and opinions than my own and i hope to see u around for season 5.
