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.

Nothing explicit, but that was what both sides said they would do.

Casterly Rock is, by land, almost a thousand miles of unfamiliar, hostile territory away from the eastern coast (where King's Landing and Dragonstone are).

So there's like a 50% chance that Bronn and Jaime get ambushed by Grey Worm on their way back to KL next episode.

Jesus christ the Lannisters got jumped in what amounts to the suburbs of KL. They talk about getting over the blackwater rush which is super close to KL. They're not out in the loving boonies they're almost home. That's why the gold wagons made it in safely.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Let's just pause and credit Daenerys for the strategic brilliance necessary to dodge Euron's teleporting fleet long enough to land a Dothraki horde on the south side of the Blackwater. Then she managed to drive said horde into position on the south flank of an army marching north in column without giving away their position. I guess Drogon walked to avoid being seen and the horses were very, very quiet.

Y'all bitching about tactics when that's some D-day level poo poo.

Also the brilliance of how Jaime and Bronn didn't have any sort of pickets or outriders screening the column.

They knew they didn't need them because Dothraki scream loud enough to give the defenders 5 minutes to put on armor and get in formation.

Or maybe the elite Dothraki cavalry are used to eliminating those sorts of pickets quietly? Maybe conscript horsemen aren't quite as good as steppe riders?

Up to this season there'd only been 48 seconds of scenes with both of them but it seemed like more to me because each one made such an impression.

I thought it was cowardly of the writers to have the dragons take the field of battle for the first time and not a single person of consequence eats it (Jamie will be fine most likely). Like come on you couldn't even off Bronn in that moment.

Maybe having Bronn talk about his future like a cop who's gonna retire was an intentional double-fakeout for savvy viewers.

Dany can't kill a fan favorite because she's not cool or good enough to withstand that much backlash. No one will buy Khaleesi lunch boxes if she kills the fun character.

I like to think Randyll was so pissed at what Sam eventually became that he said "gently caress it, my son will have the manliest name of all!"
