I would love to watch a streamer running cheats slowly come to the horrifying realization that they are getting hit with the same things they are bragging about doing to others and then raging that they got caught as it dawns on them. It would be DELICIOUS.

There were a lot of things about this season that annoyed me. Shortcuts taken, heavy-handed bullshit, Hollywood plot armor that was so antithetical to the series as a whole, so much truncated character development, etc.

It was an oligarchy archived through military dictatorship at the will of the proletariat, [and dragons] AND DRAGONS.

This has literally been me for the past 30 minutes.

Queen Nymeria FTW!

Bran wargs into the dragon burns everybody then puts wheels on the iron throne and rolls around Westeros creepily staring at people.

But the Targaryens who came from Old Valyria all those years ago conquered by being notoriously lenient with those who chose to support them, not by burning everyone, even the innocent. The Tyrells and the Tullys, for instance, are both in the positions they’re in because Aegon the Conqueror granted them their titles

“If you thought that turn on Game of Thrones felt rushed, surprising, or like it came out of nowhere...you haven’t been paying attention.”

I mean, it’s Picard. We can make exceptions for him.

I’ve made a lot of excuses for GoT, but killing off a dragon like that is just idiotic.

For starters, they are literally the only air force in the entire fucking world. Do some recon, for heaven’s sake. Fly high, circle around the city, make sure there’s no GIANT FUCKING CROSSBOWS.

They are filled with helium, which is the propellant they use to breathe fire.  Surprised you didn’t know that!

I have posted since last season’s episode (the Spoils of War) that essentially they made dragons a non-entity at that point. Meaning that there was no longer any guaranteed advantage having a dragon would give, rather it was just another relatively easy to kill character should the writers choose to kill one.

They’re using the dragons like TNG used Worf: something for the villain to beat up on to prove just how SRS BSNS the villain is.

I was tired of the show (and books, TBH, after A Feast for Crows) awhile back but I’m just a big pile of ‘meh’. The writing is so inconsistent and incoherent, and nobody acts in-character

I’ll suffer through the last two episodes only to see *how* Sansa ends up on the iron throne. Last night’s episode was the worst one of the show so far (especially in its treatment of women) for me. It’s really obvious that this season has to cram in two books worth of events, and they ain’t doing all that well. It’s

The level of annoying coincidences just continues to grow. Apparently the ships were able to hide from not only the fleet, but also the dragons soaring a few hundred feet above? And not only where they able to hide, but then they were able to swing around the coast, aim their magic crossbows that don’t lose speed and

I haven’t been this angry at the series since Sansa’s wedding night in Season 5. They took all the goodwill they had built up over the last few episodes and flushed it down the toilet in the span of an hour, beginning with Dany getting ignored by pretty much everyone for Jon. I’ll power through the last two episodes,

Def heavy eye rolling this episode. Or like how they only seemed to capture Missandei out of the sea of hundreds of others.

Look, I’m no naval genius or nothing, but if I’d been the admiral, I would have put someone in charge of looking left.  Or starport, as they say in the navy.

I know! When they were planning and they mentioned Euron’s fleet, a fleet that had decimated them in the past and they just casually say in the planning “and we’ll sail here” I was looking at my TV in confusion. “They already know they will get crushed at sea...why are they doing that when they can march down Kings

I’m still just stunned by how incredibly, deeply incompetent that whole thing was. Like... they LITERALLY had an entire episode demonstrating the threat ballistae pose to dragons. And they... didn’t expect armed enemy warships? When one of the key advantages Cersei has is naval superiority via the Iron Fleet?
