Did “Game of Thrones” finish season 7 with more craft than cunning?
“Game of Thrones” is a worldwide phenomenon and that’s due to its involving storylines, superb cast, and state-of-the-art production values. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have done an incredible job in their adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s sprawling novels even if this season lost a bit of the magic. The battle scenes and acting remained enthralling, but some of the characters seemed to lose their cunning. Worse, the show’s plotting often strayed towards the convenient and hastily expedited as it gears up for its eighth and final season. Still, this epic series puts most television and film fare to shame. And its commentary on power, abuses of it, and what truly are the spoils awaiting the victor always give fans a lot to talk about. No wonder it averages 2 million Tweets per episode!
