I get that to some extent.

Imo though a Show based in the GOT universe needs more going on than who's gonna marry who, because the franchise has set a certain standard after 8 Seasons of the original Show that more bigger scale plots are meant to happen.

Spin-Offs should experiment to an extent, but imo weakening the plot to the point that HOTD has is disappointing imo, it's like when Caprica came out as the spin-off to Battlestar Galactica all over again for me.
