Yeah but it's wildfire, if the old king was gonna blow up the city with it you'd think there'd be enough that the 6 or 7 green explosions we see would trigger the whole city to blow.

I actually thought that was what had happened when it cut to Arya waking up on 9/11

They used up the stores of wildfire, first for the Battle of Blackwater Bay, then when Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor. I think the explosions were the last of it, with the idea being there wasn't enough of it to be useful to the King's Landing forces.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into bad writing and the FX team thought it'd just be a "nice touch." :shrug:

I never understand people who do mental cartwheels to defend bad writing. It's still alright enough to burn off 90 minutes of my average life on, and we got to see some people melt and that was pretty sweet, but the day I make an Internet stand and say "If you didnt like it you're just not smart enough to get it" is the day I go on a rampage because my family member won't have sex with me

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
And now he has no family left

Yes, I hate the giant stealth dragon too and how loving casual everyone is about it

Also wouldn't everyone just melt around varys since they were like 15 feet away from him tops or is dragon fire breath like my garden hose when I twist the nozzle the stream gets thinner?

Subverting expectations does not mean giving unsatisfying conclusions to story arcs. Or maybe it does, but it shouldn't.

Remember when someone dying like...officially..or legally or something.. was done with much pomp and circumstance (re: Tyrion and the Vale) and I get that the dynamic is different with all the major houses being dead but I dunno, I just don't like it

It does mean that. But why the gently caress any crestor would have that as a goal is beyond me. It's not a parlor room murder mystery.

He was trying to get the attention of the Lannister guards at the gates.

Literally the very first thing you see Jaime do when he gets into the city is take off his glove and keep walking, before the battle even starts.

Once he's in the city, it's his fast pass to dealing with the guards.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Writers round table: how to get Jamie and Urine together.

Ideas?

1. Jamie find him in bed with Cersei when he sneaks in. Fighting naked means crippled Jamie has an advantage.

2. He stalked Jamie and Cersei as they escape they fight and banter over baby in front of her. She does the first thing ever in the series and throws a rock or something to distract him.

Pretty good, but what if...he falls of a boat. Luck's into finding Jamie. Murders him good but forgets to keep fighting for no reason and gets stabbed?

Brilliant. Let's shoot it for $14 and 8 months.
