are we supposed to think highgarden had no armies left or that they got defeated offscreen? Did they spend all their meagre budget on the small casterly rock siege?

I'm wondering where the Lannister's supply train was. Yeah, I'm a nerd who thinks about that stuff.

All the extras blew up along with their named characters when Cersei did a 9/11 on them.

Also goddamn Emilia Clarke can't act for poo poo.

Dany never got raped.
At least Jamie knows Tyrion was innocent.

But holy poo poo. who wrote this? dany is a totally different character and now her hot translator chick is acting weird, too. This season has been awful.

Only things I want out of this season is the Hound's roast comedy tour and zombie Hodor smashing Brann with a door, until then Emilia Clarke's bad acting + the adventures of the brain damaged Euron and his Fast and Furious boat will suffice.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Jon Snow and Dany are both wooden and boring and have no chemistry. Whatever the opposite of on-screen sizzle is, they have it in spades.

Seriously, in their post-wedding scene it was very clear that it was not-at-all consensual.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

they gave him the most boring bits of Victarion which is "is on a boat and hits dudes with an axe", where is his full plate armor and his burning hand and him sacrificing people to every single loving god he can think of at once just to be sure

Surely they had room in the budget not to make most of that battle happen off-screen. After what, 3 or 4 seasons of building up the unsullied as some unstoppable force, all we get when they finally get here is them trying to climb ladders and grey worm poking a few guys with a spear?

Pfft if they had spent more on the attack of Casterly Rock then they wouldn't have been able to spend as much as they did on the Tyrell attack oh wait....

Olenna: Did we fight well?
Jaime: As well as could be expected (for the budget)

Mostly the latter part, but Randyll Tarly (Sam's dad) was with Jamie when they were marching on Highgarden. This implies that he took the bulk of the Reach forces under Olenna's rule and joined Jamie.

Does anyone else feel grief that Casterly Rock and Highgarden were run-of-the-mill castles and not at all like:

I'm rewatching the old seasons and people are way too stupid about the whole "bending the knee" thing. For example in season 5 the king beyond the wall refuses to do it and gets burned alive. Just kneel, get what you want, and then do whatever you please once you have it. People betray each other all the time in this show, but apparently kneeling and falsely proclaiming loyalty to someone so they don't die or they get what they need (like Jon snow's situation) is going too far.

Also they really, really like saying "bend the knee".

It is a bit excessive.

The Red Keep wasn't built until Maegor I (Aegon's son) was in power, so the Iron Throne was forged in the Aegonfort - which was much smaller and made of wood.



So how did they fit Balerion in there?

If you don't keep to your word why should others when it comes to you. In a medieval world bonds of faith/loyalty were really important. Even holding your hands together to pray was taken from the way you pledged your oath to the feudal king

At least on the show, being loyal/faithful rarely works out well for people. The smart ones go with the flow until the opportunity arises to seize power for yourself. I mean, look at Euron - sure he's loyal now but if he doesn't throw Cersei under the bus by the end of the season I'll be shocked. The ones that remain loyal seem to always end up with their throats cut.
