she coulda burned one castle to the ground and probably won the war right there. who the gently caress isn't defecting from the lannisters immediately after that.

Apparently in only takes one ballista shot to bring a dragon down though. I'd be feeling pretty confident against a dragon siege right now unless she covers them in Jons dragonglass or some this.

Bran had a special saddle and a loving wheelchair made. Why can't Dany just get a saddle done so she doesn't risk falling off like a goof?

Also, you'd think she wear something more comfortable for dragon riding than that long skirt suit.

cop out: She's a Targaryen who has a special bond with her dragons they know exactly what she's doing and would make sure she never fell off etc. etc.

Or maybe dragon skin is adhesive

Dany wears riding trousers under all her outfits.

She should wear something that makes one boob hang out imo.

The strategy might be that it would give all the Lannisters erections and they wouldn't be able able to fight as well.

Do it next time D & D.

She's clearly seated on one or two of the dragon's spikes, they hold her in place and pleasure her. Special bond...

Well besides blowing up a cathedral with hundreds of people and the beloved Margeary inside, siding with the viking pirates that most of the kingdom and especially the Lannisters hate, allowing the ancestral seat of her house to be sacked by an army of foreign eunuchs as a distraction, dressing and emoting like a Romulan senator, and being bankrupt and deeply in debt to a foreign power for several seasons, name one thing Cersei's done that would not inspire dragon-facing loyalty in her subjects.

Did we go tactical realism over standing up on horseback to shoot arrows yet? Cuz apparently that was added in solely to look cool. And increase the injury risk for the stuntmen

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pE2wcBeyNdk


The making of video is really cool for showing off how they pulled off the explosions and stunt men on fire. Also I'm pretty impressed they got the horses to run through the fires.



Watching the inside the episode videos somehow always manage to shock me at how bad the show runners, directors, and writers are at understanding characterization of the characters, no matter how many of them I watch.

In that case, they should revive Ros and have her ride the dragon.

Daenerys probably has the worst body of all the women that got naked in the show (let's just ignore the old Melisandre for a moment).

Was Bran still normal when he saw the Jon reveal at the end of last season? I don't remember him being in complete Dr. Manhattan mode at that point.

Yeah, he was still normal then. He was still normal when he was traveling with Benjen, although that might have been right before or after he saw the Jon reveal. I forget the exact order.

So he lost all his humanity specifically in however long it was that Meera was dragging his rear end around.

That's what I thought. I'm just gonna go with 'he stopped at every tree on the way back to winterfell and it gradually broke his humanity'

Apparently everyone in this thread can run a better campaign. But I have to remind everyone that Westeros is a world with out tactical RPGs. Like Danys' thought on the dragon wasn't "How can I plant this template weapon for maximum AOE" but probably just like "holy poo poo. I hope I don't fall off "

Bran already knows everything anyways so he has no reason to ask, I imagine Sansa told Arya or Arya found out through the grapevine. Not like Rickon ever got to talk, couldn't even run serpentine.

Wasn't Sansa at the battle where Rickon died. Or she showed up a bit later, but someone would have mentioned it

'Hey just fyi since you got here a bit late, Rickon died. Yeah no like just, 20 minutes ago. See theres his corpse.'

There's a fan theory that sylvio (her season one swordfighting instructor) is actually Jaquen, the faceless man.

She makes multiple passes at the wagons filled with food and torches the line of them, but standing a mere 50 ft to the other side was a line of Lannister soldiers. Seems dumb and bad, I don't care that she didn't know what was in/on the wagons.

Preventing your enemy from piling food into the fortress you are unwilling to attack directly isn't that dumb. If you have to win by siege you might as well make it a short siege.

Danny exploded the wagons because wagons blow up real gud and setting stunt men on fire is expensive.

They say as much in the video.

It's how her species communicates

So wait, what happened with the Unsullied between episodes? They took that castle then hosed off outta there when they say the ships? I guess I missed that part and am a bad TV watcher.

But Dany's wild ride was poor planning on the graphics department side. They made the dragon's head and neck move so much the only place they could put her was square in the middle of the dragon's back. It looked like she was trying to drive a car by riding on the roof.

Because after you decimate the army that's there you're just going to let the wagons run away?
