I don't have time to deal with every element about this right now but I will say it's not about her going insane, it's about directing her rage towards Cersei at high enough levels that she will burn Kings landing.

If all Cersei did was hold the throne and kill one servant then the eventual burning won't make sense. So they are piling it on.

That was a great write up, the episode is still fresh in my mind as I only watched it like 12 hours ago, and I realised these things.

1. The fleet was anchoring BEFORE the Dragon dies.
2. Danni and her dragons were returning to the fleet (indicating that she had completed scouting ahead)
3. Euron and his fleet were hidden behind the Island on their left flank.
4. As the dragons descended and headed towards her own fleet, they came into Euron's Fleet Sights.
5. Thus, danni and her dragons had a blind spot and Euron and his fleet took advantage of this and fired on them.

The only issue I have is the three precise hits NOW... before I did not realise any of those facts, but as I was writing them, I started to remember the scene more clearly, thus, they could have been scouting, they did NOT see the fleet as they were hidden behind the island, and it showed that dannis' fleet was anchoring.

People should actually re watch it again at those points... I am going back to the episode again to double check my points.

EDIT: Not exactly correct but:

52:55 Fleet anchors, shows dragons flying over the front vessel towards KL and banks left to circle back (blind spot is to their left)
53:22 Dragon gets hit in the chest (from the front)
53:28 2nd bolt hits chest (from the front)
53:30 3rd bolt hits kneck (from its' left) then drops to the water on the left side of the front vessel (think it is the first one since they were returning to fleet)
53:47 Bolt misses Danerys (sp) head (from her left)
53:50 View of Eurons fleet emerging between an Island and the mainland.
54:41 View of Eurons fleet is on the left flank of Dannis' fleet.

Not sure if it is the writers fault or the directing, the scenes don't add up.

That's honestly terrible.
First of all having the dragon die in battle due to Danny's own choices and hubris isn't anywhere nearly as shocking and impactful as having it die out of nowhere.

Secondly Rhaegal is already injured, slow, and off balance. I've seen so many people say the scene would have been better if he was injured before he was killed. Like he was already fucking injured from the long night. Did you miss his of balance flying, or the huge holes in his wings?

Sucks to me they killed Rhaegal because he was symbolic of Jon (Aegon)'s father, and imo Jon's dragon.

again.... do you comprehend English? I do not have an issue with the dragon dying, but how it died.

I can't keep my sanity any longer trying to explain this. You're turning me into the mad d2jsp'er.

This is actually a good point and i can't find a plausible excuse for it. Imo this qualifies as poor writing.

This is much better than the actual events of the show.



Correct. The first dragon died in spectacular fashion. Allowed the night king to break down the wall and provided serious suspense and interest now that the NK has a fucking dragon. It was legit, and showed the dragons were not invincible.

This dragon just......died. He could have died of old age, or choking on a horses bones, or committed suicide because it was irreversibly sad - the outcome would be the same.

You literally said the dragon dying didn't add to anything in the episode..........


The way it died showed how their dragons aren't superior anymore. If you weren't fucking stupid you'd realize that.

On a side note : 3 "spinoff series" have been announced. First one we all know its the first men arrival on westeros, the second is about the targaryans (from.what it sounds like its aegon conquest of westeros) but they didnt precise the name and the third one is yet to be announced. The most advanced one is the first one and the two others are still getting scripted
