Instead of killing main characters they went ahead and killed the entire show, they really are the GOAT writers.

Jon is such a cuck. Made Sansa promise not to tell anyone - she tells someone like one hour later. Did he really expect otherwise? Guy can't kept a secret (literally told Dany right before the battle).

He would make a terrible king because he is so easily manipulated. Dany manipulates him, and Varys and Tyrion (or whoever his advisers are) sure as hell would if he ever becomes King.

Honestly the best two people to have on the throne at this point would probably be Tyrion and Sansa.

I honestly think this was the worst episode of the entire series. Or at least bottom 5 down with some of those harpy/high sparrow episodes.

I will admit though, I am not as disappointed in this weeks episode as I was last weeks ever since I lowered my expectations for this show actually delivering. Varys going back to his Spider roots was good to see. I also likes Sansa's conversation with the hound.
I have been waiting for Varys for so long, was pointless to see him showing up so late in the game, pun intended. Yes Sansa and hound talk was really nice.

I'm not sure if Jon is being manipulated or if his telling Sansa and Arya was part of a strategy, much like Sansa telling Tyrion


He made Sansa and Arya swear not to tell anyone because they're family when the secret is that he's not family. I think it's a calculated move on his part tbh, he wants the truth out there

Goddamn it how did you not fly straight to King’s Landing and wreck Cersei after she outsmarted you the first time
Be patient like the mountain. And you will learn to be strong.

you're giving him way too much credit. he has not shown such tactical thinking in this show at all. all his decisions are very straight-forward, like Ned.

of course, with these writers you never know. they could just turn him into a master of politics for no reason

I think that's why they are finishing up this season as quick as they can. They simply didn't know how to do it properly and just want to get it done with.

As for the dragons. I'm ok with them being vulnerable. Dragons never stop growing. The ones that were originally used to conquer the 7 kingdoms were way older than the ones in the show now. I think the main one was over 100 at the time iirc. Once they get much older their scales get so thick that nothing can penetrate them and only a shot to the eye or something could kill one. But currently these dragons aren't that big yet and so are vulnerable to ballistas.

But despite all that the show has still gone to sh*t.
I mean, sure but how powerful are those ballistas to shoot from so far away that dragons cannot see them, and be powerful enough to kill them from SO FAR AWAY. the last one died the same way to a spear but belief was suspended because we assumed the Night King's spear had powers. These dragons are super weak and easy to take down. LITERALLY ONE SHOT KO.


and on top of that being so accurate to hit flaying targets that are hundreds of meters out. Are those things heat seeking?

Well then maybe it's Ned's honorable streak that rubbed off on him. It's not honorable to lie about something like this, or to keep a secret like this


Regardless of his intentions, he wouldn't have told Sansa/Arya if he didn't want the information out there

So I watched this episode, with the intention not to just be overtly critical. I wanted to see if I could just enjoy it and not nitpick it and suspend belief like you're supposed to do with fiction.

I couldn't. There is just so much stupidity and pandering on this show that it's getting cartoonish. D&D just don't give a fuk about disrespecting the audience intelligence. They just don't give a fuk.

- Bronn walks into a room with the Lannisters while carrying a giant crossbow with no problem. Even though Cersei wanted him to use it, he really could have just left that thing back at the motel and just used something a little less noticeable. Maybe?

- Chick flick story lines in the first couple minutes. When Sansa looked at Brienne, knowing she was boning Jaime, they should have added an audio track of the audience members "Ooooooooo"-ing.

- "I'm gonna tell you guys something, but you have to pinky swear!" - Jon Snow

- Sam, Gilly, Tormund, and Ghost just bounce. Just cause.

- Who needs scouting a dangerous territory before a possible battle. Seriously, not 1 spy? Not anybody? Imagine if the word got back that Cersei had ballistas that would put the dragons in danger. Isn't Varys supposed to have spies everywhere. The only way this is forgiveable is if Varys knew and this was on purpose.

- Cersei won't kill Tyrion, but will kill Misandei, and won't kill the rest of the crew with Dany even though their ballistas are able to.

I am now in amazement at how goofy D&D is willing to get. I almost wanted to give them some leeway for the Battle At Winterfell's plotholes and awful writing because trying to put together something that significant and complicated was a task. But there is no excuse for this.

Remember when the giant went unarmed at Battle of the Bastards. Yet the undead version was smart enough to use a club lol. Pretty much vindicates all the people pointing that out back when it aired

Looking ahead to next episode how can they possibly even take KL? This episode established that 6 pirate ships>>>>>>>>>>> a dragon and bunch of normal war boats. Unless they get a big reenforcement out of nowhere it doesn’t make any sense

Yeah they're making him so stupid now. Rejecting Dany's advances. Then doing the one thing she begged him not to do.

Yeah she wants the throne, she dedicated her whole adult life to it but she still loves Jon and its pretty obvious. Dude just betrayed her an hour later and now she's gonna find out because a bunch of people know.

So stupid. She lost her dragon, lost her best friend, and Jon betrayed the fuk outta her before the big battle for no reason. Lemme break down each of the three reasons Dany will turn evil.

1. Lost her dragon because somehow they were able to kill it with three well aimed ballista shots from a mile away which is complete bullchit because a fleet doens't just show up on another fleet JUST like that, especially since Dany has 2 dragons miles up in the air for scouting. AND should have had the place well scouted regardless. How do massive fleets just show up out of nowhere?

2. Somehow in a massive naval battle with hundreds of people fighting, chaos etc. Euron was able to SOMEHOW find Missandei. Which is SUCH GARBAGE

3. Jon betrays Dany like a dumbass before her showdown with Cersei. There's literally no need for him to tell Sansa and Arya so quickly.


So essentially, this twist of Dany turning evil feels so forced/fake.

Totally forgot, Kit Harrington said there was some "unreal twist". Where the fuk was it?
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Scouting, spying, etc, would have told them that Cersie has a fleet that has been equipped with ballistas that can kill dragons. Doesn't have to be just for the King's Landing area.

Taking out Rhaegal was no small feat, but Drogon is still significantly bigger and wouldn't be nearly as easy to drop



Rhaegal is in the foreground and he's still dwarved by Drogon. I'm pretty sure Drogon's chest is bigger than all of Rhaegal

Arya will single handedly kill everyone in kings landing except the mountain, who will simultaneously die while killing the hound.

Its a show brah, I'm starting to think that most of you don't understand the basic concept of what a story is. Not everything needs to be a gritty documentary, things happen for dramatic effect and a lot of the time won't make practical sense. Thats what a story is.

"Thanks for joining me today for this executive meeting, I know your time is valuable so I'll keep this short. Denarys and the dragons kill everyone while they're at their strongest, this way we can bypass like 3 more seasons of the show with the highest ratings of all time. Any questions?"

'Yeah, I have a question, how much money can we expect to make if we do it that way?'

"Not much at all, but people on the internet MIGHT not argue that they know how to run a medieval fantasy invasion better than a make believe dragon queen, any other questions?"

'Yes, over here. You're fired'

Just enjoy the ride.

Are you serious? Visarys all but told Tyrion he was going to banzai charge Denarys and kill her to get Jon on the throne, a dragon died, Euron Greyjoy destroyed the vanguard of the invading Army, Missandei had her head lopped off and Denarys is getting that Targaryon snap starting to build to ensure her rule.

Thats a lot to happen in a push episode.

This show has turned into a soap opera and void of any war logic

If it wasn't for seasons 1-6 nobody would be watching this crap
