The bad being fucking Euron, Bronh scene cause why, Euron, the fleet BC blink and Euron (god this characters is the worst)
+ Show Spoiler +The prophecy says Cersei will be killed by her little brother - which could be both. When Arya was talking about not coming back - she was on her way to kill Cersei in I believe S6; do you think she picked that up again or do you actually believe she might go after Dany?
The BC blink was stupid yes, but I liked the scene nonetheless. You can argue Dragons should be able to spot ships from a far too but I think the scene served its purpose.

+ Show Spoiler +I was thinking about Cercey, but yes you could be right with Dany didn't even think of that. I also wonder if Sansa did try to make her plea for the crown to Tyrion at Winterfell, I seemed like they were talking about John but she maybe has a say. They are also almost set up for no one on the throne, Yara in the Isle, Sansa in the north, Gendry at Dragonstone, Edmure in Riverrun, Tyrion at the rock, Brohn in Highgarden, Little Aren in the Vale and they named drop a prince of Dorne, everyone Kingdom as a lord now.

+ Show Spoiler +Fucking Golden Company is so rich they hired Dark Elf repeater bolt throwers from a different fantasy universe.
|
+ Show Spoiler +This episode also had really big mad queen / king vibes. I am sure its not gonna end pretty for Dany. Also E5 will probably be fucking insane. Cleganebowl? (Airhorn intensifies) ... etc. Drogon as last Dragon but while the dragons besides the NK seemed pretty much untouchable it now kind of feels like the dragon can't do shit. I expected a ballista, I expected a few too but I didn't expect the rain forest to be turned into ballistas. Hard to imagine it will be a really sick dragon scene :X
|
+ Show Spoiler +Yeah this episode was basically dedicated to building up Dany as the Mad Queen in one, and likely with fiery consequences next episode. I know they were setting it up for seasons, but the expediency of it all in 80 minutes threw me off. Same issues as usual with the show and my liveblog post basically laid out all my grievances against it. Not the worst episode, but a 6/10 for me.

Next episode is going to be lit, if you know what I mean...

Well...
+ Show Spoiler +
There's quite a lot I hated, but I'm gonna take the high road and keep it brief and positive this week. That ending scene was great and tense as all hell.
Loved Rhaegal getting shot out of the sky too, they've done that awestruck shit with the dragons way too much. Yeah, the dragons look great, we get it, get outta the sky!
Greyworm surviving and Missandei going out was not what I expected either. Decent twist.
Still no sign of the Night King being reborn ;;

+ Show Spoiler +They are going to completely ditch Bran aren't they? We will never know why we needed his story line. Hodor died so Bran could be a psi-emitter for white walkers and spoil Jon Snows love life

Also
+ Show Spoiler + rofl, Jorah finally got that dragon sugar, but it's post-mortem
poor guy

His whole motherfucking existence was fucked by bran. I'm legit mad about that.

+ Show Spoiler +Cersei, of all the people in the world... Tywin's daughter and not exactly the most honorable of people... doesn't shoot Dany with all those ballistae and bowmen? The same one who blew up all her enemies with wildfire?

The same one who blew up all her enemies with wildfire? + Show Spoiler +yeah thats what i was thinking this whole time, if cersi is killing missandei to declare war. Why not just win the fucken war right then and there by killing danny its not like she gives a shit about "rules of war"
This was boring as hell, no mention of any of the night king stuff, and they only lost 50% of their forces despite winterfell being completely overrun, u cant even see any soliders next to jon, brienne, theon, tormund and they're all in different areas of the castle. They even show the halls of winterfell being overrun. How the fuck did 50% survive? I could have swore that greyworm closed the trench on all the unsullied.
Why isnt anyone thinking of dragon armour. (tho i think in the preview with euron going oh shit, drogon might be wearing some). I also dont believe those spears being more useful than cannon balls those were doing some absolute insane damage for a stick. So danny just doenst have any cannons on her ship, they're just completely useless transfer boats? They're acting like this dragon ballista is the first idea of any ranged sea warfare.
Not to mention but how does Danny not see this "ambush", she has the best line of sight. They show the ships somewhat hiding behing some cliffs but theres way too many of them to be hidden especially from a birds view point of view, it might work if everyone was sea lvl...but wtf danny is flying
How did they even capture missandei? She didnt die from the ship being blown apart, so they must have picked her up while in the water. Is it common in sea warefare to pick up random enemeys in the water hoping that they can be used as a bargaining chip? Why bring her back at all if you know cersi isnt going to give a shit

+ Show Spoiler +I really enjoyed the exchange between Varys and Tyrion. Gave me old-school GoT vibes amongst all the other awkwardly paced and written dialogue. The tension in that final scene was fun too.

+ Show Spoiler +Jorah dying means that people will definitely turn on Dany.
Ep was w/e. Actually difficult for me to watch in one sitting. First and last time that I hope this happens.
edit: It was VERY hard for me to not rip apart this episode. But in the end its better to just try and enjoy what we got left.

+ Show Spoiler + Oh yeah, I noticed they've been slowly stripping her of her close advisors and friends while also making her increasingly unhinged.
Barristan, Daario, Ellaria, Olenna, Jorah, and now Missandei. It looks like Varys has also already walked out on her in secret.
It's down to just Tyrion

+ Show Spoiler +cersei could have made this all very simple and killed dany right there but nope.

But if I were Jon, I wouldn't tell her yet, have you seen how hot she is? My point is that they, as in the show writers, will ignore it. Having the two attractive leads end up in bed was just too enticing. And it looks like they'll just skip over the implications. Well let's see. Maybe the show will yet surprise me. I stand corrected. Thanks Varys.
For Dany and Jon it's still all about the throne though.

Guys can you stop it with the spoiler tags please? The point of this thread is to discuss the episode after it aired. No need for spoiler tags.
