[SPOILERS] anyone feel like 8B is significantly better than S7/8A?

I haven’t enjoyed the show this much (aka, viewing it as above average and very decent) since Season 6B, and to see the difference in writing/action from 8A to 8B is frankly staggering. Out of all the 8A episodes, only two are rewatchable in my eyes, with the rest being dreadfully slow and meandering - compare that to 8B, and i’d only really consider “Honor” to be the weak link so far, every episode has built upon the last and progressed the storyline, and there’s also been some great set-pieces (even though most are unrealistic) - the action seems better now too, and the dialogue. I can’t really put my finger on it - but the show does seem a lot better, and it feels like it’s getting good again. Refreshing.

EDIT: For some context and for comparison (rating S8).
