Ragnarok the Red posted:She'll just give them Dorne, now that the 8 or so people that apparently lived there are dead it'll need new settlers. This is something that puzzles me. The show has completely nuked most of the houses in Westeros and some can be expected to be nuked by the end of the series. Arryn jr. will get the Vale (if the show remembers the Vale is it's own thing cause as it stands right now it looks like the Vale got absorbed into the North). Casterly Rock will probably go to Tyrion. Jon (if he survives and doesn't get the 7 kingdoms) or Sansa will get Winterfell. Yara will get the Iron Islands. Dorne. Highgarden. Storm's End (lol). Riverrun (cause Arya left Edmure to rot in his cell) These all are hosed and none of the remaining named characters have any connection towards them. Bronn maybe can get Highgarden since he joked about it this episode? And if Jon survives and gets the North, maybe Sansa will get Riverrun? But then that leaves us with Dorne and Storm's End. Ellaria may survive, but giving her Dorne would be one of the most stupid resolutions possible.

Ginette Reno posted:What else do you think she should assume was in the carts? If this show was consistent with it's last 2 episodes, Cersei and Euron would have predicted Daenerys attacking the carts and they would have been full of farmers and peasants or her captured Unsullied army so that Cersei could be like "Ha ha ha ha I beat you again" but we are at the point where the script mandates that the bad guys start losing for a bit.

The battle scene owns in HD. Horny Dad Davos owns. Bronn laughing at "Dickon" owns. If the show would just get rid of Jon, Dan, Bran and Littlefinger it would own all over.

The show's already getting rid of Littlefinger in like two episodes, and it should keep Bran because I like him no matter where he is on the spectrum.

Ragnarok the Red posted:She'll just give them Dorne, now that the 8 or so people that apparently lived there are dead it'll need new settlers. Dorne seems the closest to their homeland. We don't know what exactly happened with the Dornish armies, though. Jeb! Repetition posted:What even happened to Storm's End Was Storm's End even shown on the show? Renly held it but the last we saw of him was having Brienne knock Loras into the dirt. Bloops Crusts posted:Where does this episode rank on the pantheon of greatest episodes Guess it worked. I bought the books for that very reason. I really hate some of the characters on the show. It goes to show you how good of an actor/actress they are. Joffrey was universally hated. Cersei in real life gets called a bitch and takes it as a compliment. The characters you love usually end up dying... I still hold hope for Lady Stoneheart and some other book-only characters. Really enjoyed this episode. Tyrion seemed kind of split when the Dothraki guy said to him his people sucked. Valar Morghulis fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Yay, he killed the Sand Snakes.... *Bronx Cheer* If you told me right now that I could choose to have Ed Sheeran or Euron Greyjoy singled out for a horrific five minute death scene, featuring a Mountain/Night King sandwich, on next week's episode, I'd choose Ed Sheeran. The fact that I would actually have to stop and think about it is testament to how bad Euron really is.

Man this loving show. I watched this on my 4k monitor and once that battle started I was basically in a state of pure ecstasy for 20 minutes or however long. Soooo cool. Kudos to the director. The cave painting scene was mildly dumb but everything else was pretty good to me (including the Jon/Dany scenes surrounding the cave scene). I don't even think their chemistry was bad in the scene, I just thought the paintings looked stupid. Also, and this is usually true, but how god drat GORGEOUS have the backdrops been this season? Wherever they're filming dragonstone is awesome.

Watchers on the Wall was really cool episode but didn't make it to top 5 cause of offscreen Grenn vs Giant and the start of Ollinator.

It's not mentioned in the spoilers, so I assume it's not happening, but Bronn hanging around King's Landing is a missed opportunity. With the Sand Snake poison taking anything from hours to days to kick in, I'd have liked Bronn to have mounted a jailbreak for the girl so they could ride off and have adventures together. Bronn could have married her, and claimed Dorne as his own at this point.

This battle managed to capture the in-battle POV that made their rendition of the Battle of the Bastards so special. We don't just see a flashy battle, we get right down in the middle of it and have to scramble to stay alive.

grack posted:The Dothraki did, in fact, have a bunch of horse archers. Having a few guys using a bow before crashing into a formation is not the same as having a horse archer army, that relies on speed, baiting and range. The Romans themselves had more horse archer auxiliaries with their legions than this "horse army". Also, dear Dany, if you fly along the pike line or even behind it instead of frontal it's a thousand times more effective (but looks less cool admittedly). I found the fight choreography between Arya and Brienne really, really bad. It was a cool moment, but so badly done.

The original outline for the episode had the dothraki primarily using bows and firing three arrows at a time, I guess it was too cheesy once on actual film so they just made them mostly generic light cavalry doing Cossack tricks

More screentime for mook 1 and mook 2 at the gates of Winterfell Robot Bran is still stupid Ser Horny Davos is the best Poor Theon, he just can't catch a break I guess LF is going to try and use the lingering distrust Sansa is still feeling towards Arya to pit them against each other, or something? I was able to gather this from the frowning Sophie Turner did The whole fighting part was awesome but how the hell did the army didn't panic the moment they saw Drogon swoop in? And why did Danny have her focus on destroying supplies? Oh well, I guess. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Aug 7, 2017 |

I definitely think they've done enough that if there were like 10 of them at King's Landing they could kill a dragon with them and it not seem silly. Comedy Cersei-is-clever option, Dany flies over the city and a load of slum rooftops fall away to reveal the weapons. Around each one is chained like 10 kids. Dany fries them anyway because she really wants the throne guys.

The scorpions as a countermeasure for the dragons was a loving stupid idea. Sure, you might take the first one down, but once the others realise whats happening they will learn to fly out of reach, and attack directly from above you where the scorpion cannot aim towards or be very easy to dodge. You'd need to have like 20 of them to cover each one's blindspot and at that point you run the risk of friendly fire. Granted, it was the only idea so the intention still counts. Dragons are just complete game changers and Kelly C has 3 of them. Only through her sheer stupidity and incompetence does she have a very real chance to lose. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Aug 7, 2017 |
