In other seasons, I found things to like about the other characters too, in season 7, not so much.
Well, I can understand that - but in a way it's a good thing. 7 years is a long time and the characters went to a lot of bad places, often showing them in a very unflattering light. And I'm oddly pleased with that - because RL people are flawed and unpleasant a great deal of the time. I might not like the characters as much as I once did, but considering what's happened to them, I find that they ring very true.
