Entertaining but stupid.

2 weeks from now will be the Eastwatch battle. That should be good. Next week will be more stupid.

I really hope Dany is losing her mind and has to be killed.

I predict one of the final scenes of the show will be either the last dragon or the last two flying away.

Who will rescue Jamie? Bronn? A dragon? He dead?

Also, too many book people being all booky now.

Arya gonna kill baelishginger with that knife.

Brienne and Arya should have killed each other and then Pod should have dick slapped Sansa.

I'm still onboard with whoever suggested that Bran time-warg broke the mad king's mind.

Bran tries to tell the mad king you need to burn the white walkers, but it doesn't work so the mad king just mindlessly utters burn them.

Also Bran is obviously going to warg a dragon. Omnipotent/omniscient characters suck.

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.
I don't buy two foot tall, 30 pound Aria blocking the tall blonde chick's broadsword with her tiny paperclip of a sword.

I get the plot explanation of why dany doesn't want to burn king's landing to the ground but is it ever really explained why she can't just immediately lay siege to it? Cersei has basically burned every bridge available to her and the only thing keeping people vaguely in line is the threat of their military force (and that's not even working that well) so if they were just met with a way better force (aka the dragons) wouldn't the rest of the kingdoms kinda just go "yeah gently caress her let's try out this new girl".

She's not some sort of charismatic leader people would wanna die for over loyalty or anything. Absolutely no one in the world likes her and the only reason she can even pretend to maintain authority is because people are afraid of what happens if they go against her and lose, once you take that possibility out of the equation it feels like even her own kingdom would revolt.

That Arya Brienne fight was such bullshit. They had no trouble having her beat the Hound but with Arya it had to be a stalemate so nobody gets upset.

Dragons are kind of overpowered and cheating. Those poor soldiers :(

i like that the dragons fire is pretty much always terrible for people. it isn't sometimes dangerous stuff, its always napalmy death for the people that get caught up in the blast. i feel like sometimes books and movies sorta shrug their shoulders at how the fire-breath works - sometimes it's a sorta like a lit fart and it looks like a gassy cough, sometimes they just show a bunch of tunnels flashing over.

not here though, here the fire fucks people because it consistently behaves like a huge flamethrower. i appreciate that.

Man, you can feel bad for Jaime. But - and I mention this a positive comparison and not saying what the show should be - Jaime went through a 3 book transformation realizing he had been used for his body, his skill, his hand. And he realized that Cersei embodied everything about himself that he hated.

The show did this too, but reversed it for no reason I can come up with other than they needed to build some time (and buddy him up with Bronn) before they make him hate her again. And they will! Jaime; before the end, mark my words, will turn on Cersei again.

I'm not bothered that this character was victimized by Cersei. I'm upset that the books found a good way to make him travel that arc; and the show made him backtrack because they don't know how to spin all the plates they put their hands on.

Meanwhile in KL a bunch of peasants hoot and holler while Cersei rides past wearing the pope's scorched head as a hat.

My theory is that Dragon's Glass also hurts dragons, and so if you make the giant arrows out of Dragon's Glass you can kill the dragons pretty easily.

Do none of you fuckers understand that they're training and that Brienne doesn't actually want to murder the Princess of Winterfell in front of the Lady of Winterfell, two people who she has sworn her life to?

If they were full on fighting, Brienne is going to win every single time. She did the equivalent of letting your kid beat you up when you're a dad and the kid is 5.

Women are generally fairly bad at fighting

The best female fighter in the world would not stand a chance against the best male fighter, even if they weighed exactly the same. This can be seen in combat sports everywhere

Logically speaking, it's illogical that Brienne is so good at fighting and beating men

isnt it odd how they just give up the Prince and Princess monikers for Jon's siblings. Actually it isnt odd at all, because the showrunners never gave a poo poo about any of that after season two. And honestly it doesnt really matter. What does piss me off in a very spergy fashion is the fact that the Kings in the North never get to wear a god drat crown.

Euron got to wear his loving wood lookin turd crown, but Robb and Jon dont get the cool-rear end iron and bronze one? WTF?
