It can be all three. I mean she had to have know Tyrion released Jamie (doublecrossing her) and this assumes the bells were a trap and want to lead by fear. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
I realize this is a show where a massive gigantic zombie/turtle-looking guy can get a knife put through his face and just pull it out, but that's not really how being "crazy" works.
Honestly I think a more realistic decision would've been if he just bailed and flew away back to Essos. She's beloved in Essos! Da'ario (sp?) will wipe her down to her heart's content.
The things we do for love.
To a degree. She showed signs of flat out ruthlessness over the seven seasons. She also, despite freeing the slaves of Slavers Bay.....had no interest in hearing the desires of the people who wanted to be free in Westeros (The North, primarily). Add in that she lost two of her children and two of her most trusted allies....coupled with a family history of mental health AND the realization that the one thing that made her in her mind be "right" (that the Throne was rightfully and morally hers by the laws of Westeros) wasn't true anymore.Ilov80s said:
How would she have known? She was not with the Unsullied on the ground, she flew in that morning.
Also at the end of season 1, doesn’t she say something about how all of their enemies will die screaming?
This is almost as bad as when people were thinking Bran caused the Mad King to go mad by whispering in the wind...
This is series long rug that was puled out from under us. You're right, all of the clues were there, but we continued to hope for our hero to prevail. Well, she did win, except she's no hero. She turned out to be the biggest villain in the show (maybe the history of Westeros), and we've been rooting for her all along. Brilliant.
Well put. The lack of books and the two year hiatus have created a situation where EVERYONE who is invested in it more than the average viewer has spent time plotting out how it's going to end.
Blech, there better not be a single episode redemption arc in the series finale. No thank you; I'm already concerned with how little time is left.
in the castle she was in?
Apples and oranges.
why? Its over. rest is gratuitous.
She never wanted to break the wheel. She wanted to be on top. Once she came to Westeros and didn't allow the North to leave as they wanted was telling....and pretty much mitigated all the good she did in Essos.
Oh, no redemption for her. She dead. It would just help better explain the quick turn.
what is that emoji?Anyone else surprised that Cersei didn't have at least one
Yes and many did. So did the kids and the women. Actually, two of her worst enemies died peacefully in a loving embrace.
Gotta have the emotional impact of Jon having to take out Aunt Dany. I imagine it's going to be quite powerful.
Daenerys went mad - because the coin-flip came up mad.
It might still.
To be fair - the length of the episodes this season are worth about 2 more normal-length episodes.
More episodes...more money. HBO has very little else, so I would imagine they'd be in for 20 episodes.
I don't think that works in a subscription model as much as you think. I'd imagine this is a loss leader for them, if not a giant money pit.
"Hello there, King's Landing residents. I know that you're homeless and half of your friends and families are dead. I think you might be in need of a carpenter..."
She was more of an anti-hero to me, but I’ve never fully understood why everyone thought she was a force for good. She only cared about power. Anyone that posed the slightest threat to her rise in power was vanquished in ruthless fashion.
I get that, but important things were cut short or glossed over. Some of it was just the way they chose to sequence things, but some of these things were easy fixes. A scene between Khaleesi and Missandei where she just unloads all of her issues to her as the one person she trusted and having Missandei play into her paranoia and showing the beginning of the meltdown could have made the rest of what happens a much smoother transition.
I thought the same, jack up some stuff, flex a lil' bit for the wee folk then trash the Red Keep. Umm...guess nah?
The Snickers commercial is going to be epic though!I mentioned it earlier, the show has telegraphed everything that has happened and we keep trying to come with elaborate reasons it should do this or go that way. All the while they stick to the obvious and some of us are shocked when it actually happens.
Same, I mentioned it earlier in my post about the episode, just not sure where this leave Arya? I feel like she'll be involved because Hollywood and all but I think I'd be cool with a cut to her on boat entering the harbor of Braavos.
If they got to 9 episodes that would be an extra month of payments for all the cable cutters who only subscribe when GOT is on.
You're just bitter that nobody yelled out "Roll Tide" when Jaime and Cersei died.
Wait until Jon Snow rides his horse directly into the path of a semi truck driven by Michael Chiklis.
