Yeah I get that everything he lacks is due to him being a dwarf and at the same time, everything he is and has achieved is for the same reason. So yeah you can't have it both ways unfortunately, cause he would be a great ruler. I've always found it…interesting…that the show depicts being a dwarf actually a much…

True, scratch the dwarf part. My point was that he's got the making of a perfect king, more than any of the other who has made claim for the throne on the show.

If Tyrion wasn't a good guy (and dwarf), he would plot to become king and probably achieve it in one season while crushing politically anyone who opposed. Too bad he is just Tyrion "the fixer" on Daenerys' side.

This episode had probably the best directing and cinematography the show has ever done. It was simply stunning to watch and the battle scene was extremely impressive as well, almost like being there. Amazing.

I agree that it makes sense for Cersei to die while still being surprising. However, what happens with Jaime? I think she has more plot armor than he does so, they either survive to be the antagonists of next season TOGETHER or she ends this season on top in Kings Landing after a coup and Jamie dies in order to…

Not only they are not as clever as Martin, the quality of the writing has dropped noticeably from past seasons…its just no longer up to the elite show standards it used to be.

I think Tommen will surprise everyone and will be shown to be in the plot to take the faith militant down. Seems logical after what was shown of him earlier in the season of how he deeply regretted not saving his mother from the walk of atonement and letting the HS basically piss on his authority and take his queen. I…

Cause of the dragons vs the white walkers perhaps? That is the only reason I can think of besides "the enemy of my enemy" which is plausible as well.

Well, they obviously roasted the ships to ashes, otherwise Daenerys could use them to get out of Mereen and god forbid she does that, it wouldn't go in line with her character.

"If I'm being perfectly honest, this was the weakest episode of the season, and maybe even the series."

Ditched by the show/writers not by the characters they are surrounded by. All of the characters I mentioned (which have proven to be some of the best, or with potential, or overall improve the quality of the story) are being ignored/underused and/or are getting little to no screentime in favor of other (much) less…

Blackfish, Bronn and the Hound: appear until episode 7
Littlefinger: 2 minutes of screentime
Jamie: becomes relevant until episode 7
Brienne: dissapears after a couple of brief appearances at the beggining and teasing of a good pair-up and storyline.
Melissandre: ditched after revivng Jon.
Tyrion: The least amount of…

Talk about anticlimactic and unrealistic…

Lol I'm pretty sure she would have pretty good comebacks for any insult thrown her way that by midpoint the peasants would either run home crying or lynch her. She sure wouldn't be atoned though that's for sure.

True, but if that's gonna bring Beric Dondarion and others back, I'm willing to ignore it.

I thought it had been established pretty clearly that we shouldn't be looking for any logic in the highsparrow plotline. The only thing there is left for it is to just enjoy Olenna and the walks of shame…

They definitely intended us to love and root for her, that is why they go to great lengths to put her on a good light out of nowhere like in this episode. She is the only character that gets heroic, dramatic, heartfelt background music, crowds revering her in an unrealistic way, redundant speeches by herself or by her…

And not only the dialogue. There are increasingly more things like: DUN DUN DUUUN moments, characters walking away with an evil smile and evil music in the background, etc.
I still like the show a lot, but season 5 and 6 have been introducing or doing things that are getting frustrating.

I get the feeling that they are really trying to shoehorn her likability and the legitimacy of her cause, and basically saying "remember what a rightful, badass, charismatic, non-contradictory and triumphant leader she is!"
I think that ship's sailed and I say this because you really have to turn a blind eye to how…

You have a point. However, the problem turned out to be "Dorne" not Jaime or Bronn. This time, he's meeting the rest of the main characters and getting into the thick of things, not to mention being away from Cersei, which always seems to provide the best opportunity to really develop the character and "make him…
