Euron is an amazing naval commander if he was able to initiate a fleet action in the dark with intermittent squalls. That's his character though. From a drama standpoint you knew something was going to go wrong as soon as no one in the map room scene mentioned the risk of circumnavigating Westeros with Euron out there. The match cut with Jorah's skin and Hot Pie's pie was a good visual joke if gross. Nymeria scene wasted IMO.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Hey remember that 3 season long redemption arc for Theon? Jumping out of the ship was the only reasonable course of action. The fight on the ship is over, and Euron won, and the ship is on fire and sinking. The only thing Theon could have accomplished by trying to be a big hero again is getting himself killed or captured.

Kawabata posted:I have one question that I feel is important, how do you ambush a fleet with another fleet in the loving open sea By staying over the horizon until nightfall. It's not complicated. Euron knows every inch of the southern coast; he probably waited for them until they passed by, sailed parallel to them over the horizon until they reached a headland known for poor weather at that time of year, and attacked at that night. If your enemy is a meandering bunch of transports who you can't properly picket it would be pretty easy to keep a scout just topsails up shadowing the transports and signaling your fleet. I thought the attack probably occurred on the southern coast of Westeros. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jul 24, 2017 |

So by my calculations in order to partially vaporize human flesh and cause several people to explode per second, at a low estimate Drogon puts out on the order of 60 MW or 1 large jet engine worth of power. Seems about right.

Assuming Drogon runs on gasoline he's using up about a kilogram of mass per second. Depending on the fuel fraction of a dragon he has flame time of 1-3 minutes, so he probably can't use his fire breath as a propulsion mechanism.

DynamicSloth posted:I would have liked to have seen more of this, I really don't see how the first dragon in living memory doesn't cause any quasi-medieval army to break and run in every direction, even without the horde of horse warriors. They lasted maybe two minutes dude, did you see the same episode? After the second fire blast it was people running in all directions.

BlackJosh posted:I'm no scientist but I think you are confusing heat with force. He's like a big flame thrower. Just because the napalm it's shooting out is super hot that doesn't mean like the dude firing it is going to be shot backwards. Also i'm assuming dragonfire is like some sort of super napalm or something even more efficient than gasoline since it can melt stone castles (maybe gasoline can do this I have no clue) I know but it's more fun to treat his mouth like a jet engine. Dragonfire has to be super loving hot because in order to heat a dude up to the point that his hot spots are flashing to steam you need to not have a flame hot enough to transfer that energy in less than a second. That's super duper fuckin hot like holy poo poo. A candle flame gets up to 1600 degrees for reference but it doesn't melt granite or make people explode. Like a 12 inch wide acetylene torch on maximum gently caress you holy poo poo.

The Lannister army was spread out far enough that the rear might not make it to where the front was by nightfall, probably at least five miles. Getting routed in that situation means that the army is probably destroyed. And the Dothraki are a cavalry force fighting an infantry army that broke and ran so yup. The Lannister army is dead or deserting.

Sand Monster posted:Yeah, I was bothered by the decision making process there. The battle is effectively over, Dany and her dragon come within a few feet of getting hit by that first shot. Instead of turning and heading back, she makes a run directly at it, providing the perfect opportunity to line up the shot and fire again for what proved to be a direct hit. Yeah Drogon is gonna get chewed out by his squadron lead when he gets home all that tac air training wasn't cheap.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:I haven't swordfought for real but wouldn't Brienne's strength and size re: Arya mean that Arya's arm would be the breaking point, not her sword? Like if I swing a toy sword at my 6-year-old cousin he can block me fine but his tiny baby arms vs my rippling adult biceps mean he still drops his "guard," I just swat his sword out of the way. Even with sticks you can get banged up. Arya wasn't wearing any padding at all so there's no way Brienne could really swing at her without risking an injury. It's easier to block when your opponent is trying not to hit you. It wasn't a fair fight but Arya still did better than anyone expected.

A noble confederation is a reasonable end state for Westerosi politics. Nobles within each kingdom elect a Lord Paramount, the Lords Paramount form a deliberative body at the national level, and there's a constitutional monarch.
