Has Lena said more than two sentences this season? I feel like all she’s done is stare out of a window

HOW DO WE KNOW SHE HASNT ACTUALLY BEEN A GOOD QUEEN?!

 

They didn’t translate it for some reason, it’s just Grey Worm in Valyrian.

 

I like the broad strokes of where the story has gone, and I think the show foreshadowed most of this in an appropriate way.

But the pacing is causing everything to be incredibly strained. I think when we look back on the show, we’ll see D&D’s decision to cut back on seasons 7 and 8 as a major unforced error that could have been avoided.

I’m still positive on the show, but the missed opportunities have been numerous.

 

Very strange. Wonder if that was intentional or not. I’m super relieved they didn’t change his name off screen.

 

This is playing out like they had an outline of events and just hit those scenes without knowing how to connect it all properly

This will hopefully all read a lot better in the books

 

It’s sort of weird that the CGI-filled scenes of brutal destruction could be so effective but the Euron/Jaime fight scene was completely incoherent.

 

Do we think euron fucked the queen? I’m not sure he’s mentioned it

 

This is the bohemian rhapsody of fight scene editing

 

I also feel like the endgame being about the true horrors of war and how power corrupts and violence shouldn’t be celebrated (if they actually commit to that idea) is always going to be undone somewhat by how many times they leaned on torture porn or flirted with revenge being fun throughout the series. It is fitting with a lot of ideas that have been expressed in small moments throughout the show and certainly in the books from what I’ve seen, but I don’t know if the execution adds up. They’ve always had issues with whether or not an action is portrayed as monstrous or heroic being very arbitrary, especially with Dany now. I’m super curious to see what note and message they actually end on and how well that comes together at the last minute.

 

OH SHIT ARE WE GETTING CLEGANEBOWL

 

OH SHIT SON

 

well qyburn...

 

I swear if the hound loses this fight...

 

What. The. Fuck

 

So they really just went with the whole Danys the mad queen thing?


I hate this show

 

This show, jfc

 

what next week needs js a good “thanus theory” for how it all plays out. Someone shrinking and going right up someone’s butt to kill them

 

I started with being meh on the episode watched again and loved it. The cinematography is on fucking point.

 

I must have fucking terrible taste because I've been really enjoying this season and I particularly thought this episode was fantastic, it was genuinely thrilling imo

I do have two complaints though, one pretty major and one kind of minor

- Jaime and Cersei's deaths were not satisfying at all. Even though it's not what I wanted I'm okay with Jaime going back to Cersei because it makes sense on a human level, but they still should have died a lot more dramatically. At least give them death speeches or something. I knew they were both going to die this episode but I'm still bummed Jaime is dead. At least he got to kill Euron

- Why the hell didn't Daenerys just fuck up the ships like she did tonight last week?


Some other scattered thoughts:

- I don't understand anyone saying that Dany turning mad is out of nowhere, they've been hinting at it for years
- I personally loved Clegane Bowl. Sure it was kind of over the top but that's exactly why lol, it was gorgeously shot, especially both of them falling out of the tower. The Mountain looked like Darth Vader without his helmet lol
- I can't figure out who's gonna kill Dany, I'm torn between Jon and Arya. Maybe even Tyrion somehow?
- I'm still sticking to my theory that Jon gets the throne and then dissolves it so there's not only one ruler. He's seen firsthand how it drives people to madness (don't tell me if I'm right or wrong if anyone has read leaks)

 

oh hey guys just checking the thread after watching in Spa-

 

where the hell have you been! Good to hear from you bud.

 

I kept telling my wife during the episode that if Jon would have just taken one for the team and had sex with Dany (again)...he could have saved thousands.

Also I swear I think I saw that same soldier who keeps recurring in multiple GoT episodes towards the beginning.

 

Swiping right on the entitled southern girl who's a widow and has three kids?

After last night, you have to love Ygritte more. You know nothing, Jon Snow.

 

I feel like they have hinted at Dany being emotionally immature and a bit of a pissant but someone is going to have to explain to me how exactly her being literally insane and massacring a while city has been foreshadowed by her behavior beyond this season
