I honestly don't give a fuck if Jaime and Bronn both die, as long as Drogon doesn't die. Omg if he dies it will legit be the most impactful death for me...


Wtf these ppl, they prefer to see really good characters died just for a stupid deus machina beast and then, they cried because the plot got reduced.

The popcorn battle was fine, but only in that, it had great drama, because you caught yourself rooting for many of the proponents, be it man or beast, and it flowed very nicely and showed some of the stress a combatant should live through a battle.

Otherwise, meaning from a military and realistic approach, it was very lacklustre, not to speak of the endless teleporting...

Sansa and Arya was good, and had me on the verge of crying. I think I will when I read it. Dany and Missandei was cringy, as always and they really have no idea anymore how to write for Tyrion.

In all, a good episode, if your standarts are already washed out in this series.

2 pages of discussion and not a single complaint about Dany teleporting or the Lannister army being taken by surprise by a massive army.

TL, are you alright?


There are two different types of teleportation:

1. Where an army gains a massive unrealistic lead by teleporting from one place to another where the timelines doens't add up.

2. Where it's practically doable for an army to be at one location at a specific tim, however the show makes it appear as if they teleported because they didn't show all of the transportation scenes.

People like Plansix confuses criticism of the first one with criticism of the latter - as the Euron teleportation is not practically
-doable if you look at the timelines.

However, the Dany transportation is probably in the 2nd category. Her army is vastly more mobile and it does take a while for the Lannister army to go from Highgarden to Kings landing. Assuming the Dany army attacked ASAP after hearing the news of Kinggarden being attacked, this "teleportation" is within reason.

Good episode. I feel like it's almost cheating though; pulling out the dragon card more or less guarantees enjoyment. Especially in an actual battle...

Yes, this. I've made my jokes and criticisms about the teleportation, but this specific battle doesn't seem to be that. They didn't show the build up, which would have been shown in earlier seasons, but Dany intercepted the forces just barely before it got back to King's Landing. I believe the gold for the Iron Bank even make it at the head of the caravan. Dragonstone is much closer to King's Landing than the Reach and it would be quite likely that Dany's mobile army could intercept a returning force if they set out quickly.

It also makes sense to attack the Lannister army when they are out in the open and you have overwhelming force (dragons), you have open plains fighters (dothraki), and you don't want to hurt the regular citizens that you came to rule (the whole reason not to go to King's Landing and just win).

I could nitpick minor points about that fight, but I got chills when the Dothraki came over the ridge and started screaming. I knew what was to come and it was cool. Although I am surprised that Bronn and Jamie have both survived it, so far. I thought it might finally be Bronn's time.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

I loved the Starks reunion, great seeing Arya showing her new "self" to Sansa by training with Brienne
I'm very satisfied by this episode

If you consider that a few days or a week passed by between the time when Jamie and his army were leaving Highgarden and where they were intercepted by the Dothraki near Blackwater Rush (which is pretty much next to King's Landing) then the teleportation is a non issue.

Overall a better episode than the previous 3. Now that the Dothraki are practically at the doorstep of King's Landing, I wonder if they are going to stay there or go back to Dragonstone and how that will play out in the next few episodes.

The Starks reunion was weird to me, it was unusually cold and I expected more heartwarming scenes, akin to the Jon/Sansa reunion. It must be weird for Sansa too, seeing both her younger siblings be so different now, its like she doesn't know them anymore. Maybe they are waiting for Jon to come back and have a proper reunion dunno ...

jaime said that the army was stretched : i may have missed it but the part that have been attacked is the rear garde or the avant garde ?

anyway, that was some sick battle

It was the rear, they were talking about flogging the stragglers. Also they mentioned the gold had already reached King's Landing

Right, so the convoys had food supply I assume, and I remember thinking during the fight that Dany will try to take those for her army because previously she mentioned that after the fall of Highgarden, the food supply for her army stopped. But then she burned it all ...

'Chaos is a ladder. '

Something Littlefinger mentioned when word-fighting Varys in this great scene. But nothing Bran should've known about and that's why he's shocked.

Great ep, the Arya reunion was incredibly unsatisfying though, was looking forward to her seeing Sansa again since the first book/season, was a pretty.. casual encounter, I get why they did it that way, but felt really lacking somehow.

Sansa must be pretty frustrated. Arya is noone, Bran is not a Stark anymore but a greater being, once Jon comes back Bran will tell her he is actually a undead Targaryen.

Rofl that's fucking hilarious,"btw Sansa, if I forgot to mention it, I'm technically a zombie."

I had to replay it 3 times, audio seemed way off for that scene.

Just watched it. Have to say I'm pretty hyped about this season - the battle part was amazing! Of course one could cherry pick rushed things left and right but I prefer to overall enjoy the show. At this point, I want Daenerys to win - I loved Bronn but fuck off now
