Dany shot her down. Sorry Ghost! Hope you don't die from exhaustion on that trip North!

I just got to see this episode last night, and I'm still amazed at the ending. So you hatch the flawless plan of capturing a hostage for the purpose of executing them to start a war, and you pick... Missandei. I like to think the grunt who was charged with the kidnapping didn't do his homework on who all these people were and nabbed the first person he saw, "eh it'll be alright, they're all gonna be important nobles." And then it works, because Cersei's plans always work.

Missandei has done nothing in five seasons on a show where lots of people do nothing. She's done more nothing than anyone else.

The show got fatal bad writing when it turned Cersei into a genius political figure as opposed to a petty idiot. A Feast for Crows is my favorite book of the series cause it's great how you can see Cersei's world collapsing around her from her own POV chapters while she's Queen Regent and getting dunked on by the Tyrells and Pope Bernie Sanders. But in the show made her a competent villain and it loving blows. It's much, much more interesting to see her ignore the threats posed by the church until it's too late, or how she thinks the Tyrells are under her control. Also what they did to my boy Littlefinger, turning him from an actual genius political figure into a mustache twirling idiot who dumb enough to get caught by bumbleheaded Starks. Robyn should be dead!That was sorta the point of his whole Vale scheme! You can really notice in the show when the books drop off cause every single plotline just crashes into the wall and everyone goes "whelp time to get up to Winterfell I guess for the *big battle*" DnD clearly do not understand the point of the whole series if they choose Cersei/Mad Queen to be the final battle anyway, because the loving point is that people always have these stupid political games, and it doesn't matter who wins the current war now because in another few years there will be some other power struggle and it just goes on and on. That's why GRR bothered to come up with this elaborate backstory, to show how it just never loving ends with the politics. It's impossible to loving care who gets the Iron Throne at the point because with climate change defeated it just does not matter in the big picture.

I really really want to like this season but gently caress me its bad. I keep going over this. ep 2 hyped me so much for ep 3 but loving god how do you do nothing but death fakeouts and not use bran in any way whatsoever in the battle against the ultimate evil and then immediately never speak about the necromancer that has haunted man for hundreds of generations again while you pretend that your entitled girlfriend's desire for more war matters at all. the cinematography and soundtrack were all excellent but it was supporting nothing.

If they weren't ever going to do anything with Ghost, they could have just showed his dead body at the start of season 6. Boom, cheap on CGI, loads more pathos for Jon murdering everyone who betrayed him and they'd not have to write every subsequent scene to have everyone carefully avoiding him because the entire CGI budget needs to be spent on the big lizards. Randarkman posted:There's like 0 chance those guys didn't take everything that wasn't nailed down and skip town the minute she left. I think Emilia Clarke's bad acting really suits the character of Daenerys. I like how she mostly just gets pouty when crossed and acts with all the emotion of someone who thinks everything is just a game.

Which dragon represented climate change? Was it the one that humanity dubiously no-scoped from out of nowhere and dunked into the water? Because that's totally fake and would never happen in real life, just like global warming

It just occurred to me that they can't let Grey Worm avenge his lover bc all the named characters left on the other side are already earmarked to get murked by more important good guys than he is. So one of these coming eps he's gonna get redshirted, a hapless chump notable only for his mediocre-by-named-character-standards stabbing skills to the end. RIP.

So one of these coming eps he's gonna get redshirted, a hapless chump notable only for his mediocre-by-named-character-standards stabbing skills to the end. RIP. One of the other arguments I had was about agency and characters doing... stuff. Their argument for Arya killing the Night King was that in a real war things are wild and crazy and unpredictable (conveniently ignoring the fact that her going for the backstab was an inherently setup thing by being spurred on by her best buddies, but I digress) and you know what? I'd agree... if it's done well and that's the kind of tone that suits the film. You saying Greyworm being a random redshirt is what I said about the film Children of Men. There's one of the Fish in that film with the dreadlocks who is as close to a personal antagonist as you can. He's always there hounding Clive Warren and I'm sure he's the one who 360 no-scopes Julianne Moore in the car and executes Michael Cain. So, in a normal narrative you'd expect some kind of climactic showdown. Clive Warren fights him atop a crane with the baby hanging precariously by a single strap of a Kwik-Save bag or something. But no... Children of Men isn't that type of film and during one of the escape scenes during the war at the end we just see this dude loving die randomly. he isn't even in focus if I remember, but he's real distinctive looking so you know it's him. It lends credence to the fact that this is a crazy, horrifying scenario and Clive and co are just about lucking through the whole thing. Compare that to Game of Thrones. Where you have huge sacrificial gestures from Jorah and eye-patch jesus. You wouldn't just have them or grey Worm or Brienne just get shivved in the back out of focus only to be found amidst the hundred of corpses on the next episode. That would NEVER happen... but really, it should have (for secondary/tertiary characters). Game of Thrones, long ago, had dangerous air about it. Characters died with little to no warning and their stories would never get resolved. Threads were being woven and then snipped and... Why am I putting more thought into this than the show runners again?

They cut off his dong to make him a supersoldier but like the only warrior type characters left on the show he could probably beat in a fight are, uhhh, kinda drawing a blank here, someone help me out. Not the teenage girl, not the twenty years older alcoholic sellsword, not the guy missing his dominant hand... He got turboshafted on the entire spectrum that it is possible to get shafted on. Poor dude.

They could have had some kind of build up, maybe show him wrangling with his feelings and trying to let Cersei go and have that be the reason he climbs the mountain of Tarth, but if they did that, it wouldn't be a surprise twist, which is the only thing people ever liked about the show.

like for fucks sake have tyrion and sansa commit suicide in ep3. if dany wants to do stupid poo poo and get punished for it have a somber moment afterwards to have the characters reflect on how much they depended on tyrion's guidance. maybe have some consequences for the main characters dying in a bad situation. not just immediately be written out forever. maybe have tyrion's death be a motivation of jaime to return back to kings landing blaming cersei for her betrayal and thats why tyrion is dead. rather than literally no reason at all gently caress
