Phenomenal episode. I was ####ting bricked the entire time.
I was sure Arya was going to double back and help the Hound. I could feel the time running out to do so.
Loved when the mountain mushed that necromancers skull.
The fight with Yuron was yet another example of how your emotions change for the Jaime. First you hate him, then you like him, then you hate him then you yell nooo, ####!, they cant let that DB win!!WTF to OMG, yes, kill that DB!
That was one of my favorite episodes. I couldnt wait to get to my computer to see what you guys are saying.

Hey danny, long time no see. Last i saw you you were on your way to westeros to take the iron throne. How are things going?
Oh hey dario. Yeah, uh, things haven't been great. I came back to westeros and things were looking pretty good at first but it just hasn't worked out that great.
No? What happened? You had two of the baddest armies in history, an all star team of advisors, 3 invincible dragons and a fleet of ships plus a really good translator.
Oof. Where do I start? I came back and decided to fight a bunch of little battles first but i lost all of them pretty much.
What? How?
Well, i kept attacking places where people weren't. Then when i finally went and killed a bunch of lannisters, they'd already sacked highgarden, taken all their gold, paid back the bank of bravos and hired another new army. And then one of them refused to bend the knee so i just kind of had my dragon burn him alive.
Lol, that's just like so you. Remember when you burnt that slaver guy down in the dungeon and made your slaver boyfriend wet himself? I always tell people about that. So funny.
Yeah it doesn't really go over so well in westeros. But I totally redeemed myself by sending my dragons to save the world.
Wait i heard one of your dragons burnt down the wall and almost caused the end of all of humanity.
Yeah there was that but still we killed the night king so that was pretty sweet.
Oh cool i bet the dothraki really helped.
Actually they were completely ineffective as anything but a way to show a cool visual effect. We just had them charge the army of the dead right away.
Oh no that seems like a mistake. What about the unsullied? I bet they kicked some ### finally.
Um, kind of. We actually locked themselves outside the gates of winterfell. But some of them lived.
Oh. That sucks. Did you at least get to deliver the killing blow? Dracaris or whatever?
Yeah i tried that but actually a teenage girl killed him. Still, we got out of there ok.
Cool, cool. So what's your deal now? You single? Your Facebook status says it's complicated lol
Yeah, i kind of fell in love with a boy, but it was this weird power dynamic where he ruled the north and i wouldn't talk to him until he bent the knee and i made him promise to only ever serve me or else i wouldn't give him the dragon glass he needed to save the world from the armies of the dead but anyways we fell in love and it wasn't a creepy abuse of power.
Oh cool so you guys are together now?
No, it turns out he's my nephew, which wasn't a deal breaker - at all - but still he seemed all weirded out by it. But it sucks because it turns out he's not just my nephew, he's also the rightful king, which kind of screws with my plans.
Oh. That does suck. Did you tell everyone he's the king?
No, he didn't want it and i obviously didn't want him to have it so i told him to keep it a secret.
Well, at least you'll be able to take the throne with 2 dragons.
One.
One? What happened.
The worst character in television history killed one. This guy is jar jar binks meets erkel squeezed into an angry dirty talking pirate. He literally ruins everything including my dragons.
I'm so sorry. But still, with one dragon you should be able to take kings landing.
I thought so too. But they had these crossbow things so i went to the wall to demand a surrender and they chopped off miss sandy's head instead.
Oh no. You must have been really upset.
Yeah, but i was still keeping it together pretty good but then i found out my nephew boyfriend doesn't love me and has been telling everyone that he's the rightful heir even though he claims he doesn't want the throne. And then all the people started shooting at me and my last remaining dragon so i kind of flipped the #### out.
I have to say that sounds really out of character. We didn't see anything the last few seasons that would make you irrationally angry or violent towards the lovely people of westeros.

Jaimie and Cersei (though he may not have known why he was doing it). Tyrion told Jaimie there would be a dingy waiting at that secret smuggler beach. Davos put it there.

Not sure but my guess was him. He knew if that plan had went through Dany would be trying to kill him.

Last week they didn't really know the scorpions existed and were surprised by the fleet. This week she knew exactly what was going on and the dragon could dodge because he was expecting it.

You sure he wasn’t running for his life and fired it aimlessly out of bounds twenty yards?”
I mean his scene was a total throwaway.

If I'm not mistaken that is how Jamie got there so Davos got him the boat somewhere else.

I am a little bit on both sides. I almost wish she went for the red keep first (just have Qyburn get Cersei out quicker) first and then decided to just keep going. Cersei killed her friend and it was a bit frustrating to see Drogon burn everything but Cersei. Switch it around and it makes more sense, go after Cersei and maybe go ape #### when Cersei gets away.
I liked the episode, but I got really frustrated seeing Dany ignore Cersei and realizing it was a bit lazy writing to allow Cersei to escape. I can't say I loved Greyworm's actions and seeing Dothraki and Unsullied by the thousands. Yes, I know they "said" half of them were around, but let's be honest, we all saw episode 3. They made it appear as if a few dozen people survived, not half of the Dothraki and Unsullied.

Are you guys all high?
The Imp asked Davos if he was the best smuggler of all timez....
Davos said awww ####, I'm not gonna like this, am I?
Jaime couldnt get in the closed doors so he doubled back and went in the way the Imp instructed him to leave.
Jaime saw the rescue boat meant for him and his whore sister and knew it was the right way...

Dany has always been cold as ####. Saving some slaves doesn't change that.

Lol. That was a sweet post.
Forgot one part though:
“Wait. Forgot one thing. #### got so bad I kill women and children who surrender now. #### it.”

I disagree given how neutered the dragons were last episode. The “slow” typing complaints were directed at obvious straw mans against my posts. I am really complaining against sloppy writing—decide how powerful the dragons are and be consistent. With the power Drogon showed tonight, he should have been able to also breathe fire against the scorpion’s spears last week and not have to retreat. You can’t have it both ways.

So much Hollywood BS this episode. I used to love this show for not having that.
The Hound fight was laughable. How much strength can you have when you are being choked out, then lifted by your eye sockets. My guess is none.
Euron vrs Jamie. Two stabs through the gut....no biggie, I will finish you off then run around some more.
Those are the most glaring but a bunch more like this.
Great writing creates suspense. Sequences like the bell tower are awesome. I wish they didn’t resort to the other cheap crap.

Easier to dodge when you see the attack. Easier to hit a target when it doesn't know whats coming.

But never anybody innocent. Which is why I thought she’d just go for the red keep. Her killing the city was over the top.

What was the point of burning the city except cheap theatrics?
Just burn the Red Keep.

Last week she wanted to take out all the ships but couldn't risk losing her last dragon/baby and was freaked out by watching her dragon/baby hit the ocean floor.
As far as my straw man post, that was just good natured sarcasm. You arrogantly took it to another level so you got all Dracarys'd. Hope we can be friends again, boo.

When jon rejected her early in the episode she said "I'll have to rule by fear then". She had devoted her entire life to getting the throne back. Jorah died protecting her. Miss sandy died because of her. Her dragons died because of her. This was the only reason she existed anymore.
If she took king's landing peacefully and jon said wait i'm the real king, all of that would have been for nothing. But when she took the city - filled with people who had opposed her and supported the usurpers who had killed her father and sent assassins to kill her and armies to fight her and betrayed her while she saved them from the night king - she decided to take it with such a show of force that nobody would ever question her birth right because jon supposedly had a better claim. She went to him at the beginning of the episode to see if this could be avoided, but this was her plan. It's how the targaryens took power in the first place.

I don't understand the complaints about the scorpions. The difference between a target who is aware of the threat vs. not. They shot an 0-for on Drogon or whoever last week once he knew they were there.

One of the many things that sucks about the interwebs is the worldwide access to, well everything. Its really hard to find unique graphic tees. If you wore any of those in public literally everyone would think "I saw that on my feed."
ETA - I would buy something with one of the shots with Arya and the white horse. That was epic.

Agree with all that. I still don’t buy that the Dany we knew, despite all that happened to her, would needlessly kill thousands of innocent people.
