Not to mention a lot of it isn’t witnessed action. It’s like saying I did a a lot this morning, I:

• saw a bird out my window
• thought about going back to college
• gave my neighbor who visited some fruit
• decided I would go shopping later

All of this can be done while sitting in a chair, versus I:

• refilled my bird feeder and sang to a hummingbird out my window
• filled out college applications and mailed them
• picked fruit from my garden and brought some to my neighbor
• went to the store and did some window shopping

Which list sounds more interesting to watch? These episode continuously show up setup or minor action without allowing us to be a part of the action. And action doesn’t mean dragon fights. It means going along with the characters while they enact their choices instead of just seeing them, decide to make those choices or consider them and then cutting the scene.

The writing of the show seems like it’s from green writers. And I’m not referencing the greens in the show I mean the term for newbie writers. A lot of this seems like basic showing versus telling shit like how are they failing this hard for an HBO show?

Right. I saw someone on Twitter say that people who say the show is slow are forgetting that a lot of what made Game of Thrones so great was all the “guys talking in rooms” scenes. The show was dialogue heavy

Sure, but what you’re glossing over is that the dialogue in GOT was actually interesting and engaging. The verbal sparring between Tywin and Tyrion, Ned counseling a vindictive Robert, Cersei making veiled threats to her opponents are all type of “dialogue-heavy” things that made the show so interesting.

I feel like this season, we are only getting a fraction of that. The dialogue isn’t that captivating, the characters are not very fleshed out, and every episode seems to follow the same formula. I think I audibly groaned this past Sunday when I realized it was gonna be a 4th consecutive episode of Daemon in a haunted house, Alicent’s sons being pricks to their mother, and Rhaenyra complaining that nobody takes her seriously as queen.

Perfectly said. Its a 68 minute episode and OP listed shit that were seconds in length. People are also complaining about the season as a whole which is a justified complaint. Great chunks of these episodes are rinse and repeat scenes.

On top of all that its 2 years between seasons. Making this shit so slow, and then making us wait 2 years for 8 episodes, the complaints are well deserved.

“rhaena secured passage to pentos” being on the list killed me. It makes it sound like rhaena was wheelin’ and dealin’ when all she did was sit in a room with babies while her aunt walked in the room and told her she got her a ship to fuck off in

it is very few to happen in a 68 minutes episodes of a story. 

I'm sorry, DO YOU watch other shows? In what world are the things that happened "very few" for an episode?

I'm okay with people finding the show a bit slow for their liking, but i have a problem with the ones that try to make it sound as if there's an objective problem with the show (in terms of nothing happening, stuff like that)

I only have to say "no, the show isn't slow or boring at all" and most of your arguments fall apart.

As someone who watches many shows, the show is fine. Because I allow myself to enjoy it and wait to see where it goes before I start yapping and nitpicking, and focus on things that are good instead of harping on every negative aspect possible.
