Characters are making stupid decisions more frequently than ever before, all to set up the next Big Moment.
While meant as an off the cuff comment, not to be dissected by fans and critics across the world, the statement has struck a chord with me; Game of Thrones really has become about these Big Moments.
Actually, wouldn’t the White Crawlers already be at The Wall by now, seeing as Bran made it there months ago without the ability to walk?
