lol if you think the people making the show care about things like this. Probably haven't even looked at the dumb map they have at the start of every episode. Danny didn't want to stay on Dragonstone for long, but she was also gonna send half her army to take over Casterly rock like sailing around the entire continent is no biggie. Time and space are whatever the script needs them to be.

Anyway I guess a nice pair of tits makes this a decent episode? I would've liked to like the fight scene but it was so loving dark and shaky it was hard to tell what was happening. Why does everything cool and interesting on this show happen at night?

The timeline/distances poo poo is really loving up my enjoyment of the show and that kind of thing usually doesn't matter to me in the slightest.

There's no real coherence in who can be where at a certain point because they just seem to teleport around Westeros to be where ever the plot needs them so literally anyone can end up interacting with anyone, whenever.

It's sloppy writing and has just turned the show into the equivalent of watching someone play a mediocre RPG and use fast-travel a lot.

From the beginning of the series, I'd believed nothing could be better than imagining Theon getting punched in the face forever.
There was a slight lessening of that when he was Ramsey's bitch, but now I'm back to just wanting him to be face-fisted for eternity.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Jesus, why? Talk about punching down. He's a completely hosed shell of a human being, and you want him to be tortured even more?

I think Measly Williams was supposed to be scared of wolf and then sad that the wolf left. But I'm not sure.

I liked the goofy boat scene and wish there was more stuff like that than constant talking and overly long sex scenes.

Also what's the point of having dragons if you're not going to use them? Just let them gently caress up a city or two and it would make getting the rest of the people to surrender a lot easier.

I'm going to make a prediction that the sunk fleet is going to make travel times suddenly matter for the Tyrell army so she's gonna have to use her Dothraki and Dragons to seige KL after all, at which point the sweet ballista maester frankenstein invented will be used to kill one.

I would have preferred some kind of virulent Dragon-poison or something more in keeping with his character's story than "pull one of the ballista off the city wall and call it a day".

I thought the wolves just left because they couldn't figure out who the gently caress Arya is. Since she gave up her identity and name to the many faced god, it would make sense imo.

If Euron could just smash Asha's fleet the way he did, what reason does he have to ally himself with Cersei, especially when she has basically nothing at her disposal? He just wants to marry her that bad? I don't have a handle on what his big picture motives are.

The giant crossbow thing really annoys me as well -- I don't understand why they didn't just go with introducing the dragon horn. I don't think it would've been too late to do so and it would make more sense on multiple narrative levels.

It seems exactly like the kind of weapon to miss said lizard by a few hundred feet and then get absolutely hosed due to 5 minuues reload time.
Whoever is advocating giant crossbows as anti-dragon defense systems is sabotaging that stronghold.

Yeah they should use all the other weapons at their disposal, like ???????????????????

Heavy missiles is the only thing they got. Wait for a dragon to get on the ground or start hovering like they've always done so far and then shoot it in its butt
