Blitz7x posted:*4 dornish women die* Haha, yeah that was something alright. I get that a kingdom losing its leader is a big deal, but boy it'd sure be nice to see at least some Dornish men or ships helping out Dany going forward. What really bugs me is that we know there are insanely effective assassins operating out of Bravos but as far as we know no one has put out a hit on Dany or Cersei to end the war super quickly. Hell even Arya probably stood a good chance of killing Cersei if she stole the right faces, was smart about it, and didn't care about getting out alive.

Barreft posted:There aren't any Tyrells left in the show besides grandma who wed into the family. I'm sure most went with Tarly since he still had an intact house and is a good leader. There was presumably enough of an army left that Olenna didn't immediately shut down the plan to use them as half of the sieging force for the capitol of the kingdom tho. And actually if they had just had Tarly ride up to some of the commanders and have them surrender and join him - because they all felt their was nobody left to serve - that would have been a better, more interesting payoff. I am pretty forgiving in general I just don't want Euron to turn into Ramsay part 2. Their main and only strategy for building tension seems to be make the bad guys nigh invincible. Hopefully with a more compact season the good guys turn this around and score some victories of their own or this is going to get repetitive.

Well you see there are literally no more named Dornish characters and the ruling family is completely dead, so I guess that takes them totally off the board.

Can I just say that your constant bloo blooing about Trump in the fantasy dragons and tits TV show thread brings me much joy? You are a broken human being and I find it hilarious. Episode was surprisingly good aside from Euron and his magical teleporting fleet.

Yeah for the sake of expediting the show's events that's probably how they wrote it. In reality a Tarly uprising in the absence of Tyrell authority would be met with other lesser Reach houses challenging the Tarlys for control of the Reach, leading to a civil war. But who cares! tits and dragons!

Okay, this type of nuance I can forgive them glossing over. Minor houses squabbling would be pretty drat boring, especially without any prior build or characters worth caring about.

HannibalBarca posted:I don't understand the Casterly Rock plan at all. Like if Euron's fleet was there the whole time why not just sink the Unsullied before they land? Also how was Euron able to get there so fast ah gently caress it Team Lannisters probably thought it would be easier to let the Unsullied get owned by the castle defenses and then sink barely crewed boats. But idk why they would care about losing Ironborn raiders over Lannister soldiers if they just went ahead and engaged them all at sea. But the writers probably don't care.

CDHiggs posted:Yeah, it's incredibly bad. Honestly, nitpicking nerdotry aside--it's loving awful. Like I understand ~it's a tv show~ but the whole season was predicated on Margaery and the pope being a huge threat to Cersei because they had the people's love. Then Cersei burns them inside the holiest of holies while being conspicuously absent from her own trial and there's no response?! That was the whole loving point of the King's Landing plot last season and they totally ignore it??? That's ridiculous.

Supreme Allah posted:Who cares who knows she did it, the more important question is who is going to do jack poo poo about it. Nobody Which is why she the High Sparrow was such a short lived side character last season and totally wasn't shown to have enormous power over Cersei and the city generally. Like this was literally the whole point of the threat Cersei faced. That she couldn't just flex on her enemies because the people of the city wouldn't tolerate it. And then the writers decided to throw the whole theme of last season out the window and pretend like the people of King's Landing are totally apathetic and will go along with whatever, even though the religiosity of the people is quite literally the sword hanging over Cersei's head right up until she blows up their beloved queen, pope, and most sacred church, to say nothing of the suicide of the king on the same day as though THAT wouldn't be put on Cersei. It's such nonsense that flies in the face of the previous season's story. TheLoquid fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Jul 31, 2017 |
