Great article, thanks for the link (and sorry you fear women so much you feel attacked by the article's completely valid point).

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah that episode was pretty bad. Bad just as an episode, and terrible as the culmination of years of story building. It had its moments of fun of course, but the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy it was nuts.
Like you said, there was so much unnecessary stuff (at least half the dragon scenes), but then also so much necessary stuff missing (eg. how do tons of characters go from a noisy pitched battle to silently sneaking around? how does Arya go from trapped to doing her big finale?)
Just bad craftsmanship on the part of the people making the show; they got so caught up with the CGI dragons and hordes of undead they failed at basic storytelling.
As one reviewer put it:

How did we get to a place where Arya’s assassination of the Night King felt like an intellectual letdown, where a big episode of “Game of Thrones” felt like badly shot and edited fan service rather than a genuine revelation?
