The intro credits feel so much different since everyone is on Westeros and the camera isn't doing those long panning shots over the ocean.

Yeah even if it's too dangerous for the rider to fight, riding a dragon still gives you a total war style view of the field which is a big deal

I did a little fist pump when Bronn got a shot in on Drogon, and I was all for Jaime on his suicide charge too. I'm not sure I watch this show correctly.

Nah they're definitely the good guys in the scene. The Dothraki making fun of the burning Lannister army to Tyrion while he watches definitely casts Tyrion's botched strategies in a much better light.

Aside from the aggressively bad acting from Missandei and Dany I actually enjoyed this episode (#4).

If the fantasy league counts kills you should pick Danny(or her dragon if that's an option) because she roasts a whole bunch of dudes.

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
It's a good episode. Dany calls Tyrion out on his poo poo, the sparring session does indeed own, the two Winterfell guards are a decent comedic duo (wondering if this is an attempt at a callback to Arya trying to enter the Red Keep in S1), and a dragon fucks up an army. It's pretty great.

Also, Davos and Jon were talking and I was just thinking they missed a chance to do a Stannis the Grammarian callback, then they did a Stannis the Grammarian callback like 5 seconds later.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Davos is loving horny as gently caress. Asks Jon if he's checked out Dany's boobs, then 5 seconds later, "Speaking of boobs...Missandei hi!"

Good poo poo right there. The battle at the end in particular. I think that's the first time we've seen dragons and also Dothraki in an actual battle.

Yea, I definitely remember a few of the leaks from last season being wrong, but for the most part they were accurate. Probably like 10% weren't correct.

Absolutely. The burning hellscape of dragon fire mixed with Dothraki laughing as they mow down fleeing stragglers drove home what Tyrion was trying to accomplish more so than any amount of dialogue could. Tyrion's way was hard, and it ended up being botched, but it was the right way, because the second Dany unleashes this poo poo on a city full of innocents she's little more than a butcher.
