I guess Euron teleported back to King's Landing in victory, so they could go to the mainland in rowboats? Or something? I think most of her army went on land with Jon and co, and only a small part went by boat. Or something.

Next episode they'll probably still have a good army sized amount of ships. I bet we will get Asha coming in with a newly built fleet from the Iron Isles to save the day. | ||

Like: Missandei's last words: You can only interpret this as Missi telling Dany to burn it all down, right? This is so against Missandei's character, when just previously they were discussing that it is wrong to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians to gain the throne. Missandei and the rest of the slaver's bay people follow Dany, the breaker of chains, Mysa. She would never tell her to mass murder the oppressed. Where was Davos? Wouldn't you send your arguably most experienced admiral with the fleet? If next episode he comes down traveling the King's road I'll scream. Again, where is Yohn Royce and the army of the Vale? All killed off screen and never mentioned again? Wouldn't Sansa try to keep them on her side in her play for power? Actually, Missandei's character change is what I understood the most and even accept it. She fell in love (with the love of her life), expected them to leave after the war, grow old, etc. And now she is on the verge of dieing knowing that Cersei and all her supporters cost her all that. I am sorry but good person or not I would say burn them all too. Humans are egoistical people | ||

When confronting Cersei, Jon and most of her army hadn't actually arrived yet. So even without aiming the balistas and wrecking everything, I'm not sure Dany had anywhere to run to if the Golden Company exited King's Landing and chased her down. I guess they can try fleeing all the way to wherever on the King's Road Jon is? Basically, everything about the parley seemed *very* ill advised (and logistically impossible, but teleportation, so /shrug). | ||

The show has always been able to dance this issue until that started doing set piece battles with the Battle of the Bastards. As much as I love those battles, I think they take up a lot of the bandwidth the creators and production team have that used to be more focused on other things. | ||

Got to wonder where they get all the wood from considering how bare the Iron Islands are supposed to be. Apparently they house a giant hardwood forest somewhere amids all the stone and salt. | ||

Well Winterfell just used a mountain of firefood for a dramatic funeral service after burning a moat of firewood during the battle. All that at the beginning of winter. Seems like Westeros is not in want for timber at all. | ||

Cutting down lots of trees was hard back then. | ||

My take on Jamie and Brienne was that Jamie realized he needs to kill Cersei after learning of Euron's snipe of Rhaegal (sighhhhhh) and realizing that Cersei would win the war, making his relationship with Brienne worthless as Cersei will surely have Bronn kill them both. | ||

Also it really wouldn't make more sense either, for the character yes, but there would be basically no reason to not just tell brienne and instead break her heart. edit: the timestamp doesn't seem to work, it's at 4:10 | ||

It reeks way way to much of 'this women hasn't had a sex scene yet, we need to write one in'. | ||

I've never got any inclination that Jamie was interested in her romantically. | ||

Every major woman character has either been naked or sexually assaulted in the show except for the ones over 40 (Cat, Lysa, Olenna). Though Brienne was already covered by the Jaime/Brienne hot tub scene. There's no real escaping the 'this woman hasn't had a sex scene yet' aspect of the show. I think their more than mutual attraction is actually pretty important for the plot. Part of the Jaime & Cersei relationship is that they're in this world together for each other and no one else is there for them. Jaime's emotional closeness to Brienne is sort of a wedge that allows him to question that fundamental aspect of his character. If it was merely a platonic emotionally connection I'm not sure we could see Jaime question himself in the same way. | ||
