Definitely not ever.
Hardhome holds that spot for me. And that was even a huge departure from the books.
This season is riddled with flaws. Which seems to me to be because of two reasons. One, they don't have the source material to base the show on. Yes, they know the end of the story, but it's still taking away a huge pilar to build on. And second, making it 7 episodes instead of 10. Things are rushed. And that makes for nice, flashy storytelling... Like fast food. It's what you crave. It's what you want. And it leaves you satisfied... Until twenty minutes later you realize just what you've gorged. Game of thrones/ASOIAF took it's time, people made realistic choices, the story kept you waiting, hungring, fearing but excited for what's to come. But the last season already and this one too... Is blunt, numb and simplistic in comparison to the genius of the first seasons.
Now, that being said. It's still game of thrones. And I'm still invested. And it's still way better than most things on the air these days. It's still a great show and I still look forward to it each week.
But there is a drop in quality, I believe. My opinion, of course.
