Yeah Qyburn caught up with Tyrion about the latest news in King's Landing.
The level of cope from you is hilarious.

Agree that GRRM clearly hit writers block though. He made his story too big and now can't finish it.
All the stuff that he planned hasn't occurred - the 5 year time skip (which would have been used to explain Arya coming back as an assassin - 5 years being taught by the Faceless Men instead of a few months, etc) - he gave up on it as he realised he was writing too many flashback scenes to explain the intervening 5 years.
The story got away from him. it's a shame, but that's how it is.

I didn't find it difficult to believe Cersei not attacking Dany / Tyrion etc, though it was about self-preservation and not honor or whatever.
-Cersei and Euron are exposed on the wall, and Drogon is way back there ready to pounce if chit went sideways
-Drogon is massive compared to Rhaegal and would not have been NEARLY as easy to drop, I sure as phuck believe he could have taken out that entire section of wall before going down
-Dany was out of range of the regular archers, so they'd be trying to hit her tiny body with the scorpions and thus leaving an opening for Drogon to attack
Drogon is the reason Dany and Tyrion went there to negotiate Cersei's surrender, because he alone could probably still raze King's Landing. Simply put, he was their protection. Drogon could just throw his body at them and kill everyone in that section of wall

Edit: maybe I need to watch it again and my memory is just failing me lol

Spartacus was definitely the GOAT show and what added to its greatness was it wasnt milked. I had its few seasons, served its purpose and it was over plus the best dialog ever.
Black sails is also another great show and of course vikings

It’s painful to see what they’ve done to Tyrion’s character (and what they did to Littlefinger). Two of the most interesting guys in the entire show... and one’s dead... and the other one might as well be for all he’s done lately.
Tyrion being a Stark level politician now is bad in retrospect but I am deliberately choosing to believe his arc on the show goes from smart with no respect overall to meh with a lot of sway. How he interacts with Varys/Cersei/Jamie over the next 2 episodes will be what I ultimately take away from him. Tyrion in the books goes from smart and good natured overall to very dark when he goes into exile. The show didn't have time to flesh that storyline all the way out.

Almost every show becomes stale in the end.

Billions is beginning to drop for me bc the storyline is becoming too complicated with unnecessary pop culture references. It's beginning (imo) to insist upon itself with every character dropping rare phrases or references that no one uses in everyday life.

Doesn't look like everyone is able to hear everything. Sounds like just the 2 right hand men are having the convo with each other at first.

Good discussion btw. Enjoy this level of banter without personal shots and be all end all statements.
