Accurate. So rushed, at least their ineptitude has made all of D&D's future projects fail aswell. Personally the show took a turn back in season 5. When they cut both the Dorne and Mereen stories down considerably, you knew they were rushing it. Season 5 was my least favourite until season 8, yet it has one of the greatest episodes (hardhome). I was even ok in season 7 when they were cutting stories left and right and characters doing things which made no sense, as i hoped it was all some master plan to get them where they needed to be for season 8. But no instead of using season 7 to build up to anything they rushed it all into S8E4 where we manage to move from the climax of the series onto the next plot point 3000 leagues south in one episode, like it was literally nothing and just adds to the anti-climatic effect. Also major characters die and change all within one episode for no reason, speaking and plotting about things with no real incentive, just to get to where they want them for the ending. I might write a post about how S8 E4 was the worst written pile of trip ever put to television, because it was the episode that broke my heart, watching my favourite tv show which has been speeding downhill since season 5 finally reach its cliff edge and plummet to the depths.
