Yeah, there was a great post this morning on Reddit (I know!) where they pointed out that there was an easy way to fix this episode and make it far more narratively cohesive: instead of killing Rhaegal last episode and just kinda letting that death sit there, have Cersei fake a surrender as a last-ditch gambit, ambush…

What I wanted to see was Arya kill Jaime, take his face, and use that to get close enough to Cersei to choke the life out of her, thus fulfilling the valonquar prophecy as an easter egg for the book readers.

I would have LOVED it if Drogon had flown right up to the balcony and TORCHED Cersei. Or if Cersei had done anything beside just stand there. Surprise Dany with some scorpions hidden in the Red Keep? Unleash a crazy Wildfire explosion somewhere? Release a tidal wave of Dornish Red to extinguish the flames engulfing…

Yes to everything about her rejecting Tyrion’s advice. I have no reason to think this because this show is such a sloppy mess, but I like to add the idea that taking KL was SO GODDAMN EASY, even with only one dragon, that she was fucking pissed at Tyrion for convincing her to "wait" and "play it safe." She coulda had…

Dany literally said to Jon, when he pulled away and it was clear their romance was over, that she was choosing fear. The bells were marking that finality of that decision. I still don’t think it was truly earned, personally. While they planted the seeds for madness and all the ingredients were there, I think the…

She didn’t have to spare Cersei. She could have happily gone full dragon queen on her alone.

Yeah John’s betrayal felt more ...spiritual  ? Like he “supports” her but he no longer seemed to SUPPORT her in this episode. He basically massively undermined her with his whole I’m Secretly The Chosen One whisper circle but he still gets to act like he’s been loyal to her... which again... why would Dany be into…

Yeah I get that, but she’d also be a wight right now if it wasn’t for Dany’s dragons and army.

This has always bothered me, too. As you say, skepticism is warranted, but the outright animosity has always felt out of place, and hasn’t served Sansa’s character well this season, IMO. It’s difficult to believe her motivations in telling Tyrion about Jon were not somewhat motivated by pettiness, as I think the show…

“Perhaps it was always predestined that she would become the Mad Queen, but the character development in Seasons 5 and 6 has been so choppy and absurd that Sunday night’s episode felt like a rude fluke.”

She always had very strong moral convictions and unlike other politicians/nobles she actually seemed concerned about the common people, she hated inequality, hated slavery, hated misogyny. Her motivations were all the right ones - but power and mental illness seemed to take hold; and having magical powers you don’t…

It was not earned. She singlehandely won the war by destroying the walls. Had she really gone off the deep end, she could have destroyed the Red Keep. Although, wouldn’t it have been more pleasurable to capture Cersei and execute her in front of everyone? No, they had to make her a war criminal.

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.

It was like Truman dropping a third nuke on Japan after they surrendered, just for funsies.

D&D played dirty. Yes, Dany had shown she could go dark. But this wasn’t a gradual development, it was a switch being flicked, done only because they had to fit it into the time they allotted themselves to wrap everything up.

Wow. I get that there have been hints and allusions to Dany going off the deep end, but that whole sequence of her burning the whole place down was jarring. 

Uh, hello all y’all chicks trying to be the first fat girl in a rom-com? This was the first fat girl I remember being the object of a hot guy’s affection:

Awww. Thanks, Jay. And sorry for your loss. What a beautiful story.

My other post was embarrassing and real-life, so I separated the one that’s emotional and possibly-supernatural.

My cousin’s father passed away when he was a young teenager, it was tragic, but his mother remarried a wonderful man and life moved on as life tends to do.
