It's a shame really. Need to remember they brought us some memorable moments like the Battle of the Bastards, revealing Jon is Rhaegar's biological son, and with all of season seven's faults, there were great episodes like the Lannister army vs the Dothraki and the beyond the wall episode.
Honestly, it's as if they just got bored. As much as I've defended season 8, it's fate was sealed when D&D only wanted 6 episodes and expected to tie in everything effectively.
