I think maybe a scene or two of danny riding the dragon setting the city aflame yelling dracrys and burn them all manically laughing....then maybe crying at the end would of been cool

This episode started with that final push.
I doubt it’s a coincidence that Dany waited until the bells to unleash hell. I’m sure she thought Tyrion double crossed her on last time and that she truly was alone with her dragon.
Sandor basically told her, without actually spelling it out, that a life of revenge focused on that revenge above all isn't a life. He was going to die without having ever lived for anything other than that revenge. And he begged her not to become him.
Still dont agree with the last part. I have liked a couple of the other set up episodes this season better.
I have no problem with it happening - I think it's an excellent way to take Dany. I just disagree that the following is in any way a good portrayal of snapping to Mad Queen
Thats fine....but you seem like everything sucks since we past the books guy.....Still dont agree with the last part. I have liked a couple of the other set up episodes this season better.
But at the beginning of the episode she didn't have makeup on and her hair was messed up. She'd really gone off the reservation.
Not really accurate for the first part, but I get it- most critical of the show get painted that way.
Dany had bloodlust and lost her ####. Since the very first time she gained some power and influence as Drogo's wife, she's been flexing on everyone. By season 2, she was threatening everyone with dragonfire. She likes to burn people and doesn't flinch when her dragons torch her enemies. That look she got when the bells rang was one of frustration (Jon wouldn't give her the D and she wasn't satisfied burning a bunch of ships) so she said "F it", I'm blasting this joint. I don't know if she's Mad King level crazy but she's got that Targaryen temper and isn't fit to rule, as everyone knows.
This is probably an issue cramming this into 6 episodes.
It's hard to be on fleek when Misandei isn't around to do her hurr and makeup.
Remember when she got so shook from her dragon torching one little kid that she locked them in a vault for a season or two (?). She's always been pretty brutal towards people that she felt were against her, or were unjust in some way. Cool. And being the "breaker of chains", she's always leveraged fighting against slavery, oppression, etc. to get the commonfolk on her side. Remember when she crowd-surfed via the thankful people in Essos? That's kind of her main MO. Doesn't make sense to just completely flip like that. I can't buy it.
She had already torched the outer perimeter at that point. Cersei was looking out at the flames but she was a long way away from the red keep. The bells started ringing, AnGrey Worm had the gold company guys cornered, and dany sat on drogon on the roof of some building, looking like she was deciding just how mad she was. I've seen that look before, and it never seems to end with "i've decided you were right and i'm not going to push this any further".
Maybe - I was looking at more like (1) she just lost her ****, which isn't impossible just not that satisfying, or (2) what I'm going with given the context of the season specifically, that she realized in that moment she won, but unlike the other times when she was a hero, the people here aren't going to love her and it's going to be all wine and roses in this empire the way it was in the other one, and if she tried to make that happen it would fail. And since it's going to fail, without love, fear is all she has. So make them fear me.
Sure, she's always been kind to slaves and innocents. It's what got Varys and Tyrion (and to a lesser extent Selmy and Mormont) to serve her. But she's definitely got the unforgiving merciless side when it comes to enemies. As soon as she landed in Westeros she found out that people don't love her and that only pissed her off even more. I think this rage and frustration has been building for quite some time and it wasn't a sudden flip in character.
That was a long time ago. She had 3 healthy dragons and a ton of support behind her then. She's now feeling alone, vulnerable and she's become fully corrupted by power. It's in her DNA to go full on psycho. What's to say this wasn't her main MO and the whole breaker of chains things was her trying to be someone she is not. and eventually she couldn't control it anymore. One can only put on an act for so long and she has the Targ blood in her.
