I imagine there will probably be a minor Davos-centered subplot over the next couple of episodes where Davos somehow finagles them ships via his pirate contacts to ferry the Dothraki over at Dragonstone and that the Unsullied will somehow make the same sort of miraculous overland march that our friend Bernard here…

It's my natural reaction when someone asserts something this stupid with such absolutely authority.

Oh, for God's sake.

Wow, you might be the most unpleasant dick to ever grace these message boards.

That stuff completely didn't land for me at all. Ellaria was mean and spiteful and worst of all - stupid. The Sand Snakes were mean and spiteful and also stupid. And the poison that Cersei chose to use, even with it being the same one used on Myrcella, seems to act relatively quickly and with not a lot of pain once…

I think their willingness to hang around probably has something to do with the Dragonglass that Dany just allowed Jon to mine. It was established that Dragonstone was always a favorite nesting ground of dragons and it also happens to apparently have the largest deposit of obsidian in the world.

Yeah, the best I can tell, the people of Kings Landing are just crazy, with no real rhyme or reason to the craziness other than when the showrunners want to trot out the 'essential ugliness of all humanity' card.

"Highgarden isn't all that far from King's Landing…"

In the show, he was in the Sept of Baelor acting as Hand of the King and the lord of Casterly Rock when Cersei blew it up and apparently no one in Westeros cared.

Does anyone else suspect that the nameless servant who knocked on the door in the Red Keep will turn out to be Arya, like the nameless servant who was pouring wine at The Crossing turned did?

Tyrion: "I wanted to say this because it's personally important for me that you know that I did not sleep with your sister. I mean we slept together. As in the same room at the same time. But I did not have any of the sex with her that I was usually having at that point in my my life, you know, when the reason I…

Oh, yeah, I was agreeing with you. Deus-Ex-Euron is probably the worst character the show has ever had, specifically because they are really just relying on him to pull completely unrealistic bullshit out of his ass to cover the fact that they really can't write a war that makes any sense whatsoever.

Sure, but you can have a scene where the three dragons mow down vast numbers of soldiers without setting up this sort of bowling pin narrative structure that is so shallow in execution. In a nutshell, in the space of 4 episodes the writers have told us, "Okay, Dany can bring overwhelming force to bear, except,…

I would say that most of the characterization that we're getting from even the established characters is purely perfunctory and heavily reliant on prior seasons to prop them up at this point.

I think it's definitely fair to say at this point that the show is suffering heavily from the decision to reduce the episode count of the last two seasons. I think if I were to restructure the plot, I probably would cut all of the stuff about Dorne and The Reach allying with Dany from The Winds of Winter onward,…

It really can't have gone northward. The coasts of Westeros basically extend all the way up into Planetos' arctic circle.

I have to admit that it's become rather like watching an outline of a show, rather than a show proper.

That's true enough. I'm still just reeling from their total inability to depict anything resembling a realistic medieval war.

Euron would not have sent his flagship to Casterly Rock without him on it and his ship was clearly highlighted in the middle of the vessels that his fleet was sinking.

So, basically Euron is more or less a God-Mode character now. He landed in King's Landing to present his gift to Cersei, then sailed his fleet around the entirety of Westeros in time to sink the fleet that was carrying the Unsullied.
