Well it does sort of make sense for the experienced military commanders (Jaime, Euron) to outmaneuver the children playing war.

Seriously, 6 seasons of Danny gradually building up her Across The Narrow Sea Army and they all get wiped out in 3 episodes :lol:

I mean Euron decapitating the Dorne leadership last episode was kind of nifty and added more intrigue but I didn't think they'd follow it up with almost all of Dany's armies being obliterated in the following episode.

Did you not see who was riding next to Jaime? It was Randyll Tarly, aka the main commander of what used to the the Tyrell army aka the dude Jaime convinced to switch sides in episode 2.

Jaime Lannister took HIghgarden and allowed Olenna to kill herself with poison. Euron destroyed the unsullied ships so they couldnt sail back. Olenna told Jaime she was the one who killed Joffrey.

Opening of the next episode sees the dothraki standing on the beach looking at all of their horses laying dead upon the ground as one glumly notes that they knew they shouldn't have let them drink from the sea.

So basically Tyrion has more or less completely hosed Danny over two seasons in a row, first by completely botching his governorship of Slaver's Bay, and now by giving her dogshit military advice and getting outmaneuvered by Cersei of all people. Great job you loving loser.

Euron sailed from the victory party in King's Landing to Casterly Rock to appear behind the Unsullied even though they left the Blackwater Bay region days or even weeks before he departed the same region for the same destination.

This is not unusual for real naval campaigns because wind is a bitch but they didn't even explain it.

They won, but it was a feint-- the Lannisters had instead marched on the Tyrells, taking Highgarden. Jamie confronted Oleanna and gave her a peaceful death by poison, at which point she taunts him by revealing that she poisoned Joffrey.

This is all being set up so that Dany has to go hardass and let lose her Dothraki and dragons on a bitch. She already wants to go burn Euron's fleet personally but her advisers told her not to. With a good chunk of her loyal Essos army in danger she'll do it anyway. Probably without telling the audience first so it can be a ~shocking TV moment~
