You’re just a fanboy making excuses, the writing is dog****. You prob liked the Bronn scene.

He is a cutthroat/sellsword.
1. Tyrion meets him, because he needed a champion and he decided he will risk it for the money, they had no allegiance before
2. Jaime promises him a Castle and a Wife for his services
From his perspective he hasn't been paid and doesn't want to hear chit from them, other than what he can get for sparing their lives, rather than saving their lives in the past.
Let me guess, you wanted a brohug and then they crack open a few beer and have a battle of funny one-liners?

Pretty sure Starbucks actually paid for that. Everyone is talking about it.
The budget was used for Ghost.
At least we got to see him survive and get away from that cancer Jon.

“Dany’s other enemies have not just been sitting still, they’ve been planning for the final battle,” Benioff explained. “We saw in Season 7 that Qyburn had invented this giant, dragon-killing Scorpion. Qyburn went back to the drawing board and he made even larger, more powerful Scorpions. Dozens of them are now lining the walls of King’s Landing and dozens more are lining the decks of the Iron Fleet.”
“While Dany kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet and Euron’s forces, they certainly haven’t forgotten about her,” he continued.
Well, I think 11 weeks of night shooting in Belfast were probably not very cheap, and thats only the fighting in Ep3. But yeah, the actors pay certainly went up, unless they had long-term contracts.

Varys clearly mentioning the Iron fleet
Dany or her fleet not noticing captain povertybeards fleet until he lunched the spears
the ballistic spears going 3/3 to hit a dragon flying however high it was in the air
Dany not thinking that it would be a good idea to flank the iron fleet or even as she was flying head on to light their asses on fire
Please dont give me "hurr its a Tv show with dragons and magic!!"
You cant expect to shyt on peoples intelligence and expect them to be fine with the writing decisions that have been made this season especially when the first 7 seasons were so good and arguably GOAT tier TV

You have Bronn sneaking in on Tyrion and Jamie like a fukin SNL skit.
You have happy Dany flying her dragons head first into Euron's fleet and one dragon goes pew pew pew dead.
when Tormund says "jon rides dragons like the King he is," you have a crazy cut scene zooming into Dany's making the craziest trigger face ever and Varys looking concerned behind her.
Brienne and Jamie, ewwwww.
Cersei like nah not gonna kill Tyrion
Would a truly Mad Queen lock her dragons up in a cave because they've harmed a child? Remember that? Yeah you remember that.
Chaos and apocalypse on us all

Love the dragons themselves but Dany is such a kunt that it brought me joy when I saw her face when the dragon fell into the water.
She was too cocky flying about King's Landing with those dragons roaring as a power move and an attempt to intimidate them but it backfired.

- the scorpions being waaaay too devastating, the way the ballistas are set up, they cannot generate that fukin force (don't care about piercing dragons, but annihilating ships like that?
- the iron fleet allegedly "hiding" behind some cliffs or whatever - unless Dany was flying all the time at 100 feet she should have noticed a fukin fleet
- Dany not circling the fleet in a safe distance and fuking them up, because I doubt they would shoot the scorpions through their own masts
- Dany not going up and attacking straight down, no way do the scorpions have clearance to point upwards
So, as you can see I had a lot of issues with the scene, but this is not a fukin show on kinetic/naval warfare and not a science show either. I want the plot to move along and recognize their did it in a lazy way, but am glad its coming to a conclusion eventually.

He is a cutthroat/sellsword.
1. Tyrion meets him, because he needed a champion and he decided he will risk it for the money, they had no allegiance before
2. Jaime promises him a Castle and a Wife for his services
From his perspective he hasn't been paid and doesn't want to hear chit from them, other than what he can get for sparing their lives, rather than saving their lives in the past.

Also the part where Jaime and Tyrion didn't call for guards to apprehend and question him on KL's defenses after getting almost killed and just went with the "you'll get Highgarden" bs.

As for why they didn't call the guards: first off, Bronn would have probably slaughtered everyone except maybe Brienne in Winterfell one-on-one, secondly both Tyrion and Jaime actually do owe him, maybe its their sense of "Lannisters always pay their debts"?

Nothing has rustled me as much as Rhaegal's death, worse than the NK because at least he got a cool soundtrack to go with it, pure shock value and lazy writing, shame! Coolest dragon.

I was sad to see the dragon die, but it had to be done for the final battle. Two dragons vs Cersi is just unfair. They need to make it more even.

Why is this the Go-To Moron response to valid criticism of a show riding it's past coattails and engaging in rushed & lazy writing?
OMG dragons and zombies, that means nothing matters, anything that happens is hunkydory! Just have Cersie whip out a bag of magical skittles, scream "Taste the Rainbow, bitches!" and blow up the dragons with multi-colored lightning bolts, because zombies exist that means everything is possible!" derp, derp derp.
As I said posts above, anticipating this exact response, wedon't care what the rules are, so long as they are consistent. Dragons and zombies are fine, they introduced these concepts quickly or organically, so we accept them. However, we also see that in every episode gravity more-or-less works exactly like we know it to exist in our world, nobody has ever suggested it works otherwise, so ifall of a sudden for no reasongravity on GoT goes backwards or is ignored -- that is a major problem.
Stop thinking by being an abrasive dick, calling everyone a ******* makes your pathetic and weak argument any less worthless. It doesn't, it just makes you a fuktard and someone to be scorned.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Ill still obviously watch the last 2 episodes as theres no point to back out now but this has been a huge let down. This series had potential to pass the Wire for GOAT show imo but they royally fuked up the ending. Unfortunate old man Georgie won't finish the books so that I can read them. No point in me starting to read them if theres no end since from what Ive seen on message boards is that the show and books are pretty different

Look how they massacred my boy.... is what I think when I watch these episodes.
They've thrown logic and consistent writing out the door entirely. This series is dead.
