How's about a little poll:



I'd put my money on Tyrion, but that's only if she doesn't execute him in the first 5 minutes for releasing Jaime. One of Tyrion/Jon will burn for sure.

The real losers of this episode are the Iron Bank investment vehicle consultants. The spreadsheets said backing Cersei was the best option. But they failed to research that a dragon could delete their army in a second.

the episode was as good as it could have been, given the writing quality and there only being one episode left now. it was obvious that in this episode cersei would lose, after they dramatically "evened" out the odds last episodes with blink stalkers sniping a dragon, and that dany would go mad and slaughter a bunch of innocents

so yes, euron's ships with cloaking tech, homing missiles, and teleportations, stop working, and dany fries all of them to death. dany, whose been hinted at being a bad guy, suddenly goes full bad guy. it was obvious they were going to do it, its just that there was no way it could've been believable in one episode. they killed varys, but not surprising how dirty they did littlefinger, and i'm pretty sure tyrion is going to be executed after having been so useless all these seasons.

i am goign to keep watching because i am curious:
will arya kill dany BEFORE dany kills jon snow? or after
will tyrion get to do anything useful before he just gets killed off?

The problem with this "madness" is that there was no setting for it prior to this.

People try to quote prior seasons, but at no point has Dany displayed this "madness". Her father was referred to as mad because he was extremely paranoid and probably mentally ill due to several horrible events in his life in rapid succession. We're talking psychiatric illness mad, not "cold, callous, and brutal" mad. Dany has never once displayed any of this. Everything that Arienne and others refer to is just her being brash, immature, willful, or otherwise just kind of angry. The whole idea about it being in "her blood" and "her fate" to go mad is pretty lazy at best. The show has just simplified it to basically running in her family, which is half-assed writing that doesn't address the fact that the source material shows the Mad King going mad because of a whole slew of events, including being trapped in a dungeon for 6 months by one of his subjects.

So all in all, in about 1 full episode's worth of time she suddenly goes "mad". It's rushed and poorly executed.

Also, as others have mentioned, every other character is just stupid or a caricature of their original selves. Both Tyrion and Varys consistently act like idiots when they've been the smartest people in the show for years and years, Jaime returning to King's Landing is patently ridiculous, and Grey Worm being OK will killing innocents is completely out of character.



The "Breaker of Chains" title refers to her ending slavery, which she was very explicitly against since the beginning of the series.

The more I think about the episode the more disappointed and sad I get.


I can't believe Jamie said 'ive never much cared for innocents' in his farewell to Tyrion. The guy broke oath and stabbed a fucking KING to death to prevent the loss of innocent life, a move that set his entire story arch into action lol. What a clown show.

Well they are kind of in a hurry , so I guess you are right.
She was already a tyrant. The way from "I will burn everyone, who doesn't bend the knee" to "I will burn everyone." is not that long. A couple of betrayals here and there, the death of people(and dragons) close to her and I can totally see her snapping. Remember that her original plan was to burn everything. Well, she returned to that plan after everyone betrayed her or died. Maybe it's actual madness, maybe it's just desperation and sorrow.

Ok, so what if Dany end up on the throne, Jon goes back to the North and Arya kills her a decade or more later? We get a nice fast forward 10-15 years, catch up a little bit and then face-mask murder?

Sound terrible but probably better then what the actual ending will be.

Dieing due to dragon fire or trampling would be the exact opposite of early seasons of the show. I don't really know why everyone is convinced the early seasons of the show just tossed out characters randomly. That literally never happens until you get to Selmy/Dorne where the show starts trying to trim the cast for the sake of time.

Few weeks ago, there was a plot leakage for the last 3 episodes, I skimmed scanned through it and if I am not mistaken most of it came true for episodes 4&5 so whoever is interested can find it on google and see how dany and the iron throne will end (assuming it is true). It will be quite an awkward ending if it goes that way, but for me its not the story that is the problem, but the execution, the inconsistency and the ill justification of the actions and the story is what kills it for me.

It's not that characters were killed off randomly in earlier seasons, it's more that if they didn't routinely get put in situations where death was the only realistic outcome, and then come away unscathed.
