See, real ones knew the show tanked its final season with the Long Night episode. A LOT of people were still in denial until The Doors episode, and then they realized what everyone had already known 2 weeks prior.
To be fair, we actually knew in Season 7 where Jon “The King in the North” Snow goes over the Wall in an extremely idiotic effort to capture a living wight to convince batshit crazy Cersei to fight with them. Dumbest moment of the entire show bar none.

Did my first rewatch back in February (something I swore I'd never do) and started a thread talking about how this was where the show officially went off the rails. thread
Looking back to when the show was airing live and discussing it on here, I pretty much defended the show more than most, up until the final act of the series finale. So I defended it longer than 99% of people. Obviously I knew the show had dropped in quality massively, but I still felt there were redeeming qualities even into Season 8. For example, I actually loved The Battle of Winterfell.
But I remember watching The Bells live and when Dany was on Drogon sitting on the city walls and she was breathing hard, and the bells were going off in the background. As much as I was frustrated with the show, I was holding my breath in that moment. It was an intense moment. Like there was a weight on me as a viewer that almost 8 seasons had built up to this single moment. When she started burning the city, my heart seriously sunk.
When you discuss it on here as much as we did obviously I knew that was the most likely outcome, but I thought given how little they spent on her going mad, that they wouldn't make her the mad queen. If it went that route in the books, fine, I'm sure GRRM would progress her character to that point in a better way, but Dumb and Dumber did not.

eta: looking back, there were some signs before that but that's when I went from loving to hating the show.

Guarantee you these idiots were working backward...
How does the Night King get past the wall?
