I'm glad the Sandsnakes are dead, I'm glad Yara isn't because Yara owns and her perpetual airing out of her bisexuality in front of her castrated brother never got old. Someone needs to .gif her "I just can't help it" shrug when Sand is getting up on her. My only question now is who Euron is going to end up jobbing out to.

Things are going to get gnarly when Euron drags that Martell lady to Cersei. I don't think she's going to have the Mountain do nice things to her seeing how he crushed the skull of her brother and all.

also tynee sand is still alive and shes credited in the next ep, so heres hoping we get a parting shot of them tittays before she gets dusted

I would fully approve of this.

Also, I forgot to :lol: at their solution to the dragon problem: a ballista! It can put an arrow into a stationary dragon skull from all the way across the room! Good thing dragons don't move around much. I'm sure it work anyway for drama purposes.

Did you not see that Hobbit movie, where a dude pops Smaug with a giant loving lance-arrow while his son is somehow part of the launching device?

Well everyone knows that the only thing that can pierce a dragon's hide is a black arrow. But only dwarves make those, and we know how Cersei feels about them.

Sure, why not? Euron built a bigger, faster, more stealthy fleet with half the population that built the last one in, what, 3 or 4 months? They're going to have one of those ballistas with a 3 axis geared platform on every rooftop by the end of the week.

That kind of blew my mind. No I don't want to risk burning them so instead I'll have them all suffer starvation because it's never the common folk who suffer the worst under a siege.

And since her master plan just cost her her entire navy, I think it was meant to show dany is seriously out of her depth.

I think the idea is more that a direct assault will harden the convictions of the other kingdoms, but If they do it right they can align everyone against cersei and the royal court.

They're taking a hearts and minds approach and will assuredly fail

Once again we learn that Jon Snow knows nothing. Sansa is now on the fast track to ruin everything. Also, now that Arya is cool and powerful, she is getting sidelined chasing after her family. Again. She will probably show up in the North and Sansa will tell her to gently caress off and go away. Again.

They better ramp up the titty quotient if they're only doing a half season.

I was fine with this season till Euron shows up with his ghost fleet and manages to decimate Yara's fleet out of left loving field. I could ignore his massive fleet being built up out of nowhere but that was a bit much for me.


Like, if they reveal that a spy tipped him off to where the fleet was going, fair enough. But the random "HEY GUYS, ME AND MY FLEET THAT CAN SEE IN THE DARK AND FOG ARE HERE. ALSO I HAVE DRAGONFIRE ROUNDS THAT TOTALLY gently caress YOUR FLEET UP BUT LEAVE MINE IMPERVIOUS. ALSO, TOTALLY KNOW YOU HAVE THAT DORNISH CHICK WITH YOU, THAT'S MY GIFT TO CERSEI!"

His boarding intro though was totally baller though.

Yeah...I thought with the season being fewer episodes that each one would be better. Not to say they are horrible, but they aren't any different than previous season's.

It definitely feels like we made a switch from events being driven by the world's logic to events being driven by character logic and that sucks. Euron magicked a fleet because Euron is cool and Dany decided not to win because we got to milk it longer.

If Dany really cared about civilian casualties she would have dropped the Dothraki off in the ocean.

That's pretty much it. Up until the last two seasons no one was sacred, they could actually die at any point. Now it follows the hollywood formula and there's no huge power vacuum or anxiety when minor characters you haven't seen for three seasons get offed.

not a single rear end in a top hat thought it would be a good idea to have a shield or helmet on while fighting a boarding action. literally the first two pieces of protective gear that even the lowliest peasant would aquire, but the king of the iron isles cant be bothered cuz he has plot armor and the show runners think that poorly of their audiences comprehension

Yeah, also didn't Euron get stabbed a bunch? Like I coulda sworn one of the sand snakes stabbed him in the armpit and then another sliced his achilles heel or some poo poo.

Cause I mean, that dude was wearing some thick plot armor.

Euron is only in the show at this point because the writers realized they made Dany too powerful. It's dumb as hell and the only reason I don't hate Euron more is because he's fabulous.

He's kinda growing on me, to be honest.

The actor too, I think i's the same guy that plays the giant buff dude in Ghost in the Shell. I was surprised to find out it's the same guy, because he looks perfectly average sized in GoT, but I guess that's what happens when you see normal-sized people next to Johansson :shrug:

Furthermore it is well understood that dragonscales represent a first layer of protection that would likely deflect most ballista heads prior to them dispensing enough kinetic force to split the skull. Additionally, smough from LOTR said:

Yeah can't say I mine the Euron actor too much. The character is definitely growing on me as well if I look past the ridiculousness of him coming from no where

I'd say the show is definitely running its course. They just built up too many moving parts it's too much to follow. The gently caress is Bran doing?

Supposedly Eastwatch is there to make sure dudes don't get by on the ice or something? I'd like to know how you keep hundreds of miles of ice broken up, though.

But they just sailed that same sea to get the gently caress out of hardhome not too long ago in show time, so it's not actually frozen yet.

Not allowed to wear helmets in this show because your average viewer isn't going to know who anyone is once the fighting starts. Even the big ol' distinctive doggy helmet has been gone forever.

But also, IN THE BOOKS, a similar boarding scene happens on a river and Euron's brother Victarion dunks on some knight and watches him sink like a rock in his suit of armor. Not what you were suggesting but I'm sure someone somewhere is arguing this is why Euron dresses like a tool.

Still playing catch up. Just watched Hardhome. loving Sam actually says to Ollie (as Ollie is obviously thinking about killing Jon Snow), "I wouldn't worry about Jon. He always comes back." :lol:

Also, like 3 episodes after Podrick's whorehouse escapades, there's a background moment where he walks past two young ladies of the court who immediately start whispering to each other and staring at him. :lol:

I rewatched the entire show before this season aired and noticed a lot of foreshadowing moments like that.
