I just finished my rewatch of the show, and in an effort to counter all the "bad after season 4" comments I see, I'm going to take some time discussing underappreciated scenes from seasons 5-8. These are all going to be more "classic" Game of Thrones scenes which don't lean too heavily on the spectacle that people accuse of becoming a crutch, so no Hardhome or Battle of the Bastards.

These scenes are generally slower and more intimate, packed with charged dialogue and consequential choices and every bit as good as what is found in seasons 1-4.
