Have Jon kill Dany, then gently caress off and let Tyrion take over, and I'll be more or less chill.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

This Episode was equal parts "holy poo poo, that owns, and" and ":lol: that loving lazy writing"

Seconding that Jamie and Cersei better be dead as all gently caress.

Dany IDDQDing through the entirety of what we were made to believe was a city with overwhelming air defense was hilarious.

The smash cut to Qyburn saying "all the scorpions are gone now lol" was equally hilarious.

The outrage online over this one might be the greatest thing about the episode. gently caress the producers for not doing ten episodes though.

If I hadn't seen the preceding two episodes, this episode would have been fine.

But wrecking the iron fleet immediately after we watched it bullseye a moving target from several miles away only to have Dany toast them in 30 seconds was just one more piece of lazy writing.

Duzzy Funlop

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

They could have added the lowest effort line in ten seconds after they said "the iron fleet won't be a problem" or whatever they said.

Like, say that the scorpions seem to have a max elevation angle, so Drogon can just HALO drop from the clouds into the middle of the iron fleet and airdrop some bad breath on them, so he'd be literally be unreachable by the scorpions. Or add that the scorpions on the land-facing walls would be trained towards the unsullied, and there's a chance to hit them from a blind angle in a surprise.

But they did nothing whatsoever outside of the hint that he'd be coming out of the Sun. And then she low-altitude holding-patterns casually over king's landing and suddenly all scorpions are gone in 30 seconds.

Looked cool as all gently caress, but jesus, write like three extra lines, guys.

Next episode opens with Tyrion, Jon, Davos and all the other northmen who fled the city being executed by Dany and then she flies north to Winterfell to gently caress up sansa & Brienne & whoever else is still up there.


But then Euron teleports with a flying ship & kills drogon with the ballista mounted on the bow. End credits roll after Euron, still bleeding out from his gnarly torso wound, looks up to the heavens and says “I loving killed Weiss & Benioff’s careers!”

I'm wanting them to pull an Old Man Potter from It's a Wonderful Life with Cersei turning up alive and unrepentant in Essos or something. This hasn't been a story built on poetic justice, and shouldn't start to be now.

Read up a little on the online buzz about the latest episode, and it turns out the Green Bay Packers QB was a guest extra as a King's Landing citizen getting brutally incinerated, and they apparently "forgot" that Jamie had a prosthetic hand in his final scene.

All of those were bad guys, though, or at least people trying to kill her / prevent her from achieving her goals. Not really innocents.

1. Slaver
2. Guy trying to steal her dragons and kill her.
3. City full of slavers.
4. Slave masters.
5. Slaver Masters starting an insurgency against her
6. Rival Khals who want to keep her in Vaes Dothrak forever
7. Lannisters, her enemies
8. Bad guys and thousands of innocents along with them.

Sure, sure. Though killing those who try to "prevent her from achieving her goals" seems pretty Hitleresque but hey.

I dont know if it's Emillia Clark, the writing of her character, both or something else, but they did a really bad job showing her turn to the mad queen.
Last nights episode was pretty entertaining, the Varys thing bugged me because why the gently caress would he have been so sloppy at this point, but I guess they figured somebody needed to die, and I'm assuming Tyrion has to live long enough to set up whatever happens with Dany and John.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm fully assuming at this point that Dany somehow survives all attempts by her former advisers to kill her, because that's the only way this whole show ends up in a way that Ramsay Bolton would sum up as "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" by disappointing literally every single last furiously-committed viewer of the show.

I'd be fine with it. Burn it all down.

This is how he planned the finish, though. Although some things shifted slightly, D&D made GRRM give them the rest of the major plotpoints he had planned.

There are a lot of things from earlier seasons that foreshadow everything that has happened. Bran saw the lone dragon over king’s landing in season 4, for example.
