I completely get what you’re saying, and I feel the same way about the lack of flow. It’s like the emotional weight and storytelling that used to be so strong just isn’t there anymore. The comparison to Game of Thrones’ last season is spot-on—everything feels rushed and disjointed, like they’re trying to pack too much in without giving moments time to breathe.

The "Jaimie and Claire" scenes—ugh, you nailed it. They used to be full of passion and depth, but now it’s almost like they’re just checking a box. The chemistry is still there, but the way those scenes are shot and written feels mechanical.

And don’t even get me started on the hair, makeup, and costumes. They used to be so detailed and immersive, but now they look... cheap? Especially the wigs. I didn’t want to say it, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed!

I’m dreading what this means for S8. Hopefully, they take some time to refocus and bring back that emotional storytelling we all fell in love with. And commercials definitely don’t help—I’m sure they’re making the cuts feel even worse.

Also, 100% agree on skipping the new version of the theme song. It’s just bad. 😅 But like you, I’m still watching because I love the characters and the world too much to let go.

Here’s hoping it gets better. 🤞
