well atleast we have her battle with FAegon to look forward to in book 7
The fact that they had this planned just makes the execution that much worse
I mean, didn't all these people just save the world four days ago.
Night King winning fits the series... This ending does not.
The way this is going..
Everyone will die and Dany will still be alive.
How many times in the last 3 seasons has she threatened to burn King's Landing? And y'all are acting like it came out of nowhere?!
It would've taken numerous seasons to do that and there's no way the actors / salaries / costs would've allowed it, sadly.
This is what I think. We seen him writing on multiple occasions.
thats fine with me I dont want anymore star wars movies at all... at least give us a 10 year break... but nope... fuck Disney
Oh man, I had surgery on Friday and this made me laugh so hard it hurt. Ow, but damn funny.
Yeah, D&D.
You say, "only see the best in characters who are presented to us as 'heroes.'" You make some grand statement about how ASOIAF is making some stupid point about how there are no true heroes. Yet, the show portrays Jon Snow as the perfect bastion of Good whose never done nothing wrong never. Nope, it's the emotional dragon lady who thought she was a hero that is truly evil.
Maybe you should re-read the books. You think GRRM is going to have Jaime completely disregard his entire arc? You must be joking.
I have a lot of feelings about that episode. I feel like they more or less did as well as they could with what the previous episodes had cornered them into. I really do find Arya and Jamie utterly baffling in this episode and it's a bummer watching Tyrion go against everything his character stands for and also now he's a damn narc on top of that.
The cinematography was absolutely stunning as usual and the actors perform there roles damn well but there's only so much "war is hell' cinema they can throw at us before it all washes off as the same. I'm sick of battle scenes, and that's a damn shame because when they were used sparingly there sure were a treat.

wasn't harrenhall built to stop a dragon attack?
even though they screwed up and they just burned on the inside
It shouldn't have come back to bite her. If they were true to her character she would have just started laughing at the fact that Danny was stupid enough to come out to the front of Kings Landing with no protection, raised her arm and ordered a barrage of arrows to rain down her, with ballistas instantly killing her last dragon and a giant bolt taking Danny's head off and turning it into jello.
And she decided to do it on a last second whim.
She won the fucking chess match and then pulled out a gun and shot the opponent.
Dexter's ending was absolute ass. Not even in the same league and there is still one episode left.
How did she get control of the Dothraki and the Unsullied
I think she did, you see wildfire caches blowing up, Dany wasn't fucking around and giving her mercy. ' _'
The Dany heel turn is the one completely earned character development in this season. If Dany not being the savior you thought she was is the reason you're upset at this episode, then lol.

Imagine if this is Brienne's last meaningful scene
I don't think so. My guess is that the next episode will be the final battle between Jon followers and Dany's people. She'll probably be kicking ass.
I had to sit and really think about whether or not I needed to add the "/s" at the end but given the tone of this thread I decided to be safe lol
Don't worry, there's people hating this episode every-fucking-were around the globe.
And that's fine. No one's obligated to love everything.
This whole season is a fucking disaster. I just want this show to end already.
Cleganebowl literally felt like it was there for fan fiction in the way it played out.
Sapochnik crafted some of the greatest looking TV scenes of all time but has to deal with these shit scripts

The fates of the main characters will likely be the same in both versions, but the journeys to get there will be entirely different.
yeah i messed up lol
built to stop armies... but not for dragons

I would have defended the show devoutly up until this episode. So would my wife. I love summer blockbusters and other fun-first media. I thought this was terrible. So did my wife.
No I think Harrenhal was the ultimate keep, built to withstand sieges and armies, but it was dragons they couldn't defend against. Dragonfire melts stone, that's well established.
Have you only seen one episode of GoT?
You're just being willfully ignorant if you haven't seen the build up over time. We're talking several seasons here. People love to have their spicy hot takes though so whatever.
I think it's pretty much the whole fanbase. I'm a pretty casual watcher of the show, and I've also noticed a decline in quality, but it's not nearly at the level people are making it out to be. It's like if an Olympic gymnast did a really good, but far from amazing, floor routine then stumbled on their landing, and everyone in the audience started yelling as loud as they could "Did you see them fall flat on their face like 6 times?! I saw it! It definitely happened! What an idiot!"
The show's definitely not in its prime, but it was pretty flawed from the beginning. The ending is indeed rushed, but not to the insane degree people are making it out to be.
Again though, I'm a casual watcher. I might be more upset if I was really into it. I think the biggest issue this episode was Dany suddenly able to easily out maneuver every crossbow, despite them being depicted as the big obstacle that needed to be overcome in the last episode.
She's his aunt. Dany wants to have sex with her nephew. Why is everybody acting like this was a simple rejection? Jon doesn't want to be in an incestuous relationship. Dany was already at the point of Lannister-grade crazy when she kept trying to win Jon over with sex despite knowing their relationship.
That's not to say that I'm fully on board with how they've handled her turn, but I don't know why people are ignoring that element.
