I just watched the battle where Dany is riding the dragon and flying around burning stuff on youtube. It was eye catching and neat to watch, but kind of dumb. A parallel to the show as a whole I guess. The most ridiculous thing to me was that once the dragon did it's first pass over the Lannister lines they didn't just break in terror. And is there any reason mentioned in the episode for why she didn't just fly straight down the line of soldiers and set them on fire, but instead chose to fly 20 feet to the right and burn the baggage train? I mean, it's food or spoils, either one is valuable to her. It's not like her own army which seemed to be made up of nothing but steppe raider cavalry would have a hard time chasing down any of the wagons that tried to flee. Jamie's charge was great though. Death or glory!

They literally lit 20 good men on fire for that scene.

I nitpicked the poo poo out of that part of the scene at first. Upon 2nd watch when she goes back in for her strafing runs the Dothraki are basically engaged with the Lannister line. So rather than torch her own men she torches the back line and the wagons. However, that gives basically no justification for her not making her initial pass parallel to the Lannister line as the Dothraki have them all distracted. But whatever, Dany is dumb.

The reason is: the shot of the dragon flying in with the Dothraki was cool. But I know tactical realism is more important than Rule of Cool for some people for dragon battles.

Dany needs a loving harness so she can do loops and barrel rolls.

She also need a big basket of spears to throw at people while she cruises around. Honestly if you are riding a dragon unharnessed and without a big circular golden shield, I don't know what the gently caress you're thinking. Also wearing a no nonsense suit of armour since the dragon can just take the load and if you get shot down and it dies you're probably hosed anyway.

Also as it's made evidently clear she doesn't want to just murder everyone, and she needs more Westerosi troops to wage her land war appropriately. Ffs the previews for the next episode show her telling everyone left alive from the tarly and Lannister side they can join her. But instead of watching the episode and having half a brain it's probably better to come in here and post about how dumb the show is and how you are better at dragon battles *resumes discussing Stuka dive bombers vs dragons*

I'm sad there is only one more season left on the show cause I really want a stupid Kraken vs Dragon fight and this show isn't shy on it's budget for stupid fantasy fights. What are the chances Euron happens to acquire a Kraken inbetween seasons?

The show is obviously wants to make Dany look good - it's her advisers who are at fault for the Cersei resurgence and even when she had enough of their failing strategies she does not burn King's Landing down but focuses on a pure military target. The preview is obviously a misdirect, because Tyrion and Varys are not talking about making Dany listen - she listened to them for most of the season - but Tyrion is supposed to make Cersei listen, which is why he is going to travel to King's Landing. They might go for full parallels with Jon impregnating Dany at about the same moment as Cersei loses her kid. Later on Jon will sacrifice himself in the fight against the Night King, allowing Sansa to keep her title as Lady of Winterfell with Dany taking the Iron Throne and in a post credit scene we will have Sam telling young Eddard Targeryan, prince of Dragonstone, the Song of Ice and Fire about his father.

I, for one, can't wait for reanimated corpse Jon knocks up his barren aunt Dany. Seriously, though, isn't she still barren on the show? And potentially still barren in the books, too. It's possible she had a miscarriage during her making GBS threads adventure, yeah, because her period came at an irregular time after missing 2 or 3, but who's to say that isn't part of the curse? Like it may well have been possible for her to conceive all this time, but just be fated to never bear a child that will survive full term.

Yes, in this show where Dragons are flying, shadow babies can be born, Dr Brannhatten knows everything, virgin Jon Snow is skilled in oral sex, and the dead can be reanimated a blood curse that made one of the heroes barren can not be reversed. That's the one constant which can't be changed - ever. There is also the fact that she would not bring it up if it was not immediately relevant to the plot. So she is barren - now what? Jon is not loving her to get children and given that there are no viable alternatives he could marry to produce offspring, this deficiency in Dany would not stand in the way of the two of them banging, especially since both of them have already shown that they are into recreational banging with people that are not fit to be their official mates for political reasons. It would make a lot more sense if Dany becomes pregnant, because than you would have tension from the cousincest angle, though given that even Tywin marrying his cousin without much drama, it would be kinda strange.

wizard on a water slide posted:I think it'd be a cool ending just because of how many book readers and show watchers alike would poo poo their pants with rage. Fantasy worlds that are actually colonies of space faring empires that regressed/post-apocalyptic world is such a popular Eighties concept, I doubt anyone would accept it as ending to this super popular series today, even with the Eighties still being all the rage. GRRM wrote one already (Windhaven) back in the day too. Although there were some recent examples of the concept again (Joe Abercrombie's "Shattered Sea" series, arguably Sanderson's whole Cosmere universe, Witcher).

"yeah i watched bits of the episode on youtube, heres my opinion on why it was bad..." Something somebody honestly posted ITT. I dont want to come across as a huge defender of the tits and dragons show as im on board with being a bit bored by some of it recently, but this threads transformation into the bad thread is pretty spectacular. Its almost like GRRM attracts terrible people to read his books and rather than accept that an hour of TV which starts with Tryion telling the unsullied to sail to casterly rock and then a 15 minute montage of them packing appropriate food stuffs and acceptable clothing for the current westerosi climate. Then the remaining 30 mins of the show is them sitting on various appropriately manned boats playing cavasse until at the end of the episode someone shouts "its been two weeks at sea Land Ahoy!!!!!!" as Casterly Rock looms in the distance, may not be the most entertaining TV for a series that is in the process of wrapping up the multiple dangling threads that it currently has running.

It's annoying that all it requires for people to love the episode is any sort of battle scene. Not as annoying as it is that it does feel as though the ending will be Jon and Dany ruling together. Which surely isn't what GRRM is (isn't) going to write, since the entire idea is how feudalism is poo poo and all the smallfolk are dying over stupid familial arguments. But all that has been ignored in the show I guess.

That's the one constant which can't be changed - ever. fwiw Dany being barren is relevant to her character, fighting tooth and nail to reinstate a dynasty she believes will end with her. Granted the show has dropped everything interesting or relevant to Dany's motivations and personality, like the prophecies she obsesses over, or how tied to the dothraki and their culture she is, so w/e.
