I don't think it's that unpopular of an opinion! Completely agree about storytelling. I think it's pretty obvious they're just going through the motions at this point and all sense of nuance or development is out of the window.
The teleportation is a perfect example. Things happen when people travel. Look at how the relationship between Jaime and Brienne developed as they went back to King's Landing, or indeed Jon and Tyrion as they went to the Wall. Likewise from Winterfell to King's Landing in Season 1 saw us learn a lot about the Lannisters and the power dynamics between them and Robert. And heck, the whole reason the Red Wedding happened was because Robb needed to marry a Frey to cross a bridge.
Actions no longer have consequences either. The Wight capture plan was stupid and they should've all died, but instead Dany came riding in on dragons to rescue them - what is her investment in that, by the way? She barely knows Jon and has a little crush, and Jorah is a friend she's tried to exile a bunch of times, doesn't know the others - and bail them out. Similarly when Jon falls for Ramsay's traps and the Ride of the Rohirrim has to save him. It's all a bit cheesy and not in keeping with the previous seasons. It's fun, though, and I guess that's the thing.
I enjoy it as a standalone thing full of set pieces, great music, effects and acting, as well as just straight up giving us what we want. Oh yeah, let's bring Gendry the rower back! Ha ha, look at this badass little 8 year old girl saying badass things! Bronn, Bronn doing things. Hey, let's have a magnificent seven made up of fan favourites going on an adventure together! It's not what made the show great at all, but I take it with a pinch of salt and am just enjoying the ride.
