I don't dislike it per se....just how it was presented. And even if I could let it slide that they'd be able to kidnap a person who is for all intents and purposes the queen....them keeping her more or less uncontested, and for so long, was a bridge too far.
Not saying it's impossible to sell any of this with better writing but it felt truncated as hell on the show.

It is more set up in the books, but the show did alright...it would be like the Pope making moves on the President of Italy and jailing them under religious grounds...if enough Catholics were super down with the Pope it can go down. Remember there were actual Popes with armies and DID jail people.
People complaining that it's fan fiction is
When wasn't it fan fiction......?
You have white walkers, dragons, stone men, red priestess,ghosts , but now it's fan fiction
What do you nikkas want 20 min of witty dialogue when they were on that rock
Cats done watched the show for 7 years waiting for some of this pay off and now they mad that we haven't devoted 10 minutes of dialogue in whorehouses.
