jokes posted:In this poo poo series, the greater insult is that they did try to ground things in reality in earlier episodes/books and have the dragons be an insurmountable foe within that framework. Imagine if LOTR just had Bilbo show up with a catapult but it's 100% accurate and can fling the Ring into Mt. Doom all the way from Osgiliath. TBH, this would improve the LOTR movies for me:

But doing it from a moving platform that bobs uneasily and changes speed slightly with the wind and these aren't birds, they're crazy fast moving dragons and--you get what people are saying. It's impossible for some pirate guy to do it.

Zippy the Bummer posted:i enjoyed the episode but Jamie going back to Cersei might be the dumbest thing in the show thus far, no exaggeration i kinda assume he is going back to her to finish it. he knows the war will keep going because she will never bend the knee.

Using that crossbow is some galaxy brain writer's idea of poetry and they're going to force it through to the end even if it makes no sense in a given scene

Goons Are Great posted:It's amazing to see that Bronn managed to fire a total of two bolts on Drogon, hit once while inflicting a minor wound, while Euron did this with impressive accuary against a flying target going with dragon speed, hitting the chest well, then hitting again and then piercing through the throat, all in the time that Bronn needed to fire even one bolt. It's amazing to me that everyone just doesn't fly the dragons higher out of range and just drop loving boulders on their loving heads. Problem solved. jfc

I’m really glad that D&D treated the dire wolves like a massive pain-in-the-rear end burden that they had to cleverly cheat around so they would have to be burdened with including them in any meaningful way for the most part Jon didn’t even say goodbye to Ghost, he just loving glared at him as if to say “why were you even in this show at all??”

If you're into such stuff, there are several solid articles (sadly quite short, but with good sources) about the real Scorpion and how it and similar devices were used by the Romans, too. The show does have a cool design of those compared to what we believe the originals looked like, which has a nice touch.

Who gives a poo poo you promised him highgarden. Just agree to it and when it comes time for the ceremony of handing it over, have four guys with spears encircle him and slap him in irons. Then remind everyone to not be presumptuous with nobles and have him quartered.

The direwolves, an almost extinct species of supernaturally large apex predators, are found in the first scene of the first book. There are exactly six, and the sixth wolf, taken by the bastard son of the group, is albino. The wolves are hinted and foreshadowed as being inexorably linked to each of the characters. Then they all get put on busses or are killed off screen without doing jack poo poo lol

In the books it’s heavily implied that all of the Stark children have some level of innate ability to warg into their direwolves—Jon has several vivid “dreams” where he’s Ghost hunting north of the wall, and Arya does the same thing with Nymeria in the Riverlands. The end of the last book also suggests that Jon might warg into Ghost right before he bleeds out?

My problem w/ the crossbow scene is that it's the same one that Tyrion used. And when Tyrion used it he fired it twice and it showed him reloading. But when Bronn used it his reload was completely different.

The only reason bronn is even still alive is that Jamie and tyrion apparently let him leave the castle without raising any alarms

Because that would be interesting and cool so it's the kind of thing the show would steer away from. You'd also have to show instead of tell it and I'm not sure GoT audiences are quite ready for that level of subtlety. Last thing to add to the crossbow discussion before we put it to bed is that if the tension in the scene comes from Bronn pointing a loaded crossbow at Jamie, the minute he releases the bolt he gives up his position so it sounds dumb as gently caress.
