What the gently caress is this show I'm watching?

This episode wasn't 100% terrible, but it would have been amazing as the first episode of the season, instead of the second to last.

"Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you crushed by rubble."

Hound’s last scene with Arya probably put her on course to reconsider Gendry’s marriage proposal.
S6E10: Arya slits Walder Frey's throat after serving him his sons in a cannibal pie.
S7E01: While wearing Walder Frey's face like Hannibal Lecter, Arya poisons Walder Frey's entire household.
S8E05: Arya realizes revenge is bloody business and maybe she's not cut out for it.
:shrug:

WTF Arya, you're way too late to get cold feet.
WTF Jamie, why did you bother with that redemption arc?

the Varys thing bugged me because why the gently caress would he have been so sloppy at this point
Varys going from most competent and feared spymaster in Westeros to failing to clean up a witness (Tyrion) to his regicide conspiracy is par for the course this season.

Lol @ Rhaegal getting ganked in a minute by 10 scorpions, and Drogon not getting hit a single time by about 200 ships or 100 scorpions on the walls. Very convenient.

Finally finished this last episode, haven’t caught up on posts

This season had really been lame so far and I felt needed a Hail Mary and boy what they did with Khaleesi was definitely a shock. Especially how they built her up as a female lead. I get the writing was on the wall what with her crucifying etc but I digress

Jon continues to just gently caress up everything he touches even though he doesn’t want to be involved. A real Stark since he completed that arc of loyalty being the demise

Lame hand wave for Euron and Jamie

dany was listening for the bells, and when she didn't hear the one in the sept of baelor she lost her poo poo, that was her father's bell

Something like this would make sense. And then d&d get in front of a camera and go 'well Dany saw the red keep and decided to make it personal'. It's like a kid writing a paper about a movie they didn't watch, except these motherfuckers wrote the god drat show.

Looking forward to three lovely star war movies, lol

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.

like raining fire? or just flying over?

Garret Dillahunt was also great in The Mindy Project. Dude has so much loving range, he can convincingly play a dope, the straight man, a goofy guy, a scumbag, or an evil canniver. He's amazing.

That scene was as much for her as it was for him.

She's had no father figures in her life since Ned. And likewise, she's the closest thing he's had to a daughter. Much like many things in the show, she tried to a step in a different direction, but there's no escaping your fate in this world.

She's not going to Gendry. She has some green eyes to shut, and Cersie's don't count anymore.

I binged watched all the seasons the past month. She's had hints of her crazyness throughout every season. Since she's had her Army the only people tempering her impulses to burn Kings Landing were Jorah (dead), Tyrion (losing confidence), and Jon ("betrayed"). Add in the death of her dragon and taunting her by executing Missandie - her losing it was choreographed a mile away.

Yeah, but GRRM used to be involved to keep them in check.

One of you pointed out that they're great at translating someone else's work onto the screen, but can't be trusted to generate their own material; spot on.

You can really see GRRM’s influence waning as Season 6 progresses and they were largely forced to start crafting the narrative whole cloth. But given that GRRM is going to die by choking on a loving lemon cake, and is the slowest writer in the world, and literally had no clue how to tackle the Slavers Bay storyline for years I’m not sure it would be any better.

Jaime is captured by the Unsullied and freed by Tyrion, who told him of a secret passage out of the Red Keep that he would place a small dinghy at for them to escape.

Euron (who had previously been thrown from his ship into the sea by a Drogon-riding Dany) washed up right as Jaime was going to the secret passage. They duel, and Jaime is mortally wounded in the process of driving his sword through Euron's chest. He pushes upward to find Cersei, whom he is briefly reunited with as the Red Keep falls apart from a constant barrage of dragon fire.

Jaime and Cersei are both presumably killed by a pile of rubble that falls on them, after their only escape route (that Tyrion pitched to Jaime) ends up getting blocked by the Red Keep falling apart. Thus, Cersei was killed by her younger brother and a prettier woman as the prophecy foretold.

Well he, after suffering multiple stab wounds fighting camp yet rapey Jack Sparrow who in turn just had swam a few miles fully clothed after his ship is dive bombed by a dragon but still almost kills fuccboi Lannister who then having run up a million flights of stairs seemingly unaffected by the massive blood loss brings her to a dungeon or catacombs or whatever ostensibly to get to safety but then the ceiling collapses, killing them both.

OR DID IT, probably loving not since they never actually show them dying
