Well, get out of Ottawa then!

Also: can we spare a moment to consider Euron’s yet-again-magically accurate warp to the small cove where Davos has stashed the dinghy? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given how Tyrion, Grey Worm, Varys, et al managed to wash up on the same part of Dragonstone, but it was another ridiculously dumb moment.

Are people forgetting that Dany chained and consigned her own dragons to death because they killed an innocent civilian?

Bullshit. She’d be feared based on having already burned up an army. And when she made her big decision to keep going after the surrender, at first I’d thought she was going straight to the red keep to fry Cersei and maybe pick up a few civilians along the way, which would have extended her legend and the fear she…

I believe the “she’s not eating” scene indicated that Varys was trying to poison Dany because, in the previous episode, he’d stated he would do anything in his power to get the right ruler and I think that’s why they executed him. The little girl also stated that the guards were always watching her indicating that she…

Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn’t Daenerys been telling everyone she meets that she wants to be better than her father? That she wanted to “leave this world better than she found it”? I mean she even lectures Yara that on their violent way of life and says “no more”.

RE: Varys, he was trying to poison her. The little girl he was speaking to was his accomplice.

Yep. If Cersei had gotten away, I could buy Dany snapping and taking it out on everything around her. I just can’t get over how dumbed down everyone is this season. Varys just dorking around Dragonstone getting updates on Dany’s eating habits after showing all of his cards to Tyrion? REALLY? Tyrion (the guy who shot…

You should “PayAttentionPlease”. Not once has Dany ever KILLED 10,000s of innocent civilians??? She even said last season, when Ollena told her she needed to be feared, that she wouldn’t be the “queen of ashes” or whatever. This is an incredibly rushed ending to her story, if you want to say anything positive about…

You should listen to the podcast, but short version: There’s a big difference between burning down the Red Keep and indiscriminately killing civilians. This would be a whole different conversation if Daenerys had gone straight for Cersei, killing innocents in her quest to kill the woman who usurped the throne and…

Good Lord! GRRM wanted ten seasons, HBO wanted ten seasons.  Couldn’t these fuckers pass the torch to someone else?

Dany is the only character who conquered cities, forced her vision of a culture upon them, and then abandoned them instead of staying to rule.

After 7 seasons being told my the narrative and production that Dany was the queen we wanted, this is a horrible injustice to the character and her entire narrative. And poor Emilia Clarke was forced to try to make us believe (with another long pointless stare) in her inhumane decision to torch the city after they…

The Cleganebowl was the only storyline that worked. Arya’s almost did, had she died instead of magically surviving 17 different walls collapsing on her.

Not bad, we’re missing a lot of connective tissues to make this work. D&D once again rushing to a conclusion. Thoughts:

Euron can sense main characters from 100 miles away. It’s one of his powers that he has.

Awful episode in terms of narration, fantastic in terms of visuals.

I think there’s room for Arya to consider what’s next for her after bagging the ultimate kill. I could even see the Hound being the one to show Arya the perils of letting revenge consume you. Of course, none of that narrative work actually happened on screen.

What an utterly baffling episode. It’s almost like this show got cancelled and the producers clapoed their hands and said, “Mm’k, let’s get this shit over with.” And then proceeded to finish the series out in the most basic way possible while ignoring 90% of the built of mythos of the books and the last 7 seasons

The scorpions were only as accurate and powerful as the plot needed them to be.
