Legit complains.

Dragons might have scouted ahead but if i remember well the fleet was hidden in between 2 mountains.. just trying to give the writters an excuse here tbh

I was also disappointed about the NK and I got no excuse for that. 8 seasons of build up hype to end up like this was kinda shitty... We didnt want to wait for GRRM to finish the books so thats what we got i guess


The dragon death scene literally added nothing to the story. Why show the dragon alive after the NK battle just to kill it the next episode without any benefit to plot? It would have made much more sense to lose the dragon during the battle then have Euron's fleet flank the ships and destroy a few/capture Missandi (which is a whole other stupid plot line). I get the point - they want her to start to go "mad queen" mode, but they fucked it all up.

Missandi should have been killed during the navel engagement, the dragon should have died at winterfell or not at all, and Tyrion should have died to Cersei when he pleaded to her. That would have been enough to build the idea of Dany going "mad" and justify what she's going to do, which is burn down king's landing.

These are just my complaints. I didn't mind the episode, and the season thus far. It's not been perfect, and maybe even not average but it's still entertaining and i'm invested.

They wanted to show that the Dragons wouldn't give Danny an automatic win, that if used carelessly (as she always has used them), they'd be taken out of the fight immediately. Scouting could have been done, but what's better at scouting than a fucking dragon and if they've hardly been scratched by man, why would you be worried about it? It made sense, it shows how powerful the fleet actually is and it's a completely pointless complaint.

The only thing that made no sense in the last episode was not killing Tyrion. She clearly wants him dead, why wouldn't she just kill him right there? She could still kill him to start episode 5, but probably not.

Still not sure how/why people are dumb enough to think that Danny being within eyesight of Cersei means she's in danger.... That has got to be one of the dumbest complaints I've ever heard. The plan was to surround Kings Landing and stop supplies from coming in, that's what they're doing... What the fuck is the issue?

Lmao - okay boss.

She lost a dragon doing the same fucking shit with the night king. You think she'd learn and not be within sniper's range of scorpions at any time flying down to fight her enemies @ KL. It was stupid. Nothing against taking dragons out to show it's not an auto win, just the way it happened. Three consecutive sniper shots to hit a moving dragon from hundreds, if not thousands of yards away.

Hardly been scratched by man? Drogon got fucked up in the Harpy pits and had to heal for weeks. Dany knew they had scorpions for when she engaged the Lannester army and Bronn shoots the dragon WITH THE SAME WEAPON THAT KILLS THIS ONE.

Might as well have the thing die of natural causes.

At least make decent arguments if you're going to act like a pompous ass. Your argument is completely pointless.

Gotta admit I feel the last season has been a bit underwhelming, and I don't really have high hopes for the last two episodes.

Was hoping for some more backstory on the white walkers this episode. After building up to the battle with the walkers from literally the first scene of the show, everything else just feels so insignificant now.

That no one expected an ambush from cersei / euron was pretty ridiculous, I mean how easy was that to figure out.

I do agree that it all feels a bit rushed, which is just bad show running - wasn't it the writers who decided to do less episodes in the last 2 seasons?


And there's been a lot of stuff the past episodes that just doesn't make sense, but seems to be in there purely for the looks of it.

i am actually pretty happy it ends, it needed to end before it turns shit i have been saying that for years

its not great at the moment, but its not the end of the world and was kinda expected to be like this but perhaps with better writing, stuff still happening, maybe not how we would like it to happen but its fine and i actually though white walker battle ep was awesome i really enjoyed it but was disappointed that my theory in Arya warping into WW is probably not true and theres was no explanation what so ever in last ep how she killed him :( and yeah i want to know more about WW's

Sorry but you're wrong. Not sure if you paid attention to episode 4, but they basically spent the entire time doing their best to fuck with Danny emotionally and mentally.

The dragon dying served a purpose.
Just like her being virtually ignored at the feast.
Just like her seeing Cersei execute her friend.
Just like her seeing Jon be Kingly at the funeral.

The entire episode was about disrupting her character.
