No they don't take slaves or rape, per Dany's leadership.

Moral relativism is my strong suit. Don't care about sarcasm. : )

I don't love a lot of the cast, or how the show handles the characters in general. Nonetheless, I think the whole point of Dany's character is that she is a moral/benevolent ruler.

As opposed to most monarchs who are so humble and deferential

No you're racist for wanting to see them die because your precious anglo-saxon warriors were outclassed.

It isn't clear if Dany would have a way of knowing this, but the key to the Lannisters gaining advantage is the gold they took from Highgarden. So I would think they don't want anyone getting away with that gold, regardless of the battle's outcome.

This might come as some surprise to you, but the Dothraki are actually fictional, and this isn't a RTS war sim. The premise is: they're the better ones at land fighting. IE, yes, they would win against basic infantrymen.

Bronn and Jamie are both morally repugnant. Jamie was on a track to redemption, but completely backtracked. "Who cares if all my kids are dead. Mah sisters so hawt" I mean, your comment is case in point to my argument.

Right but the Westerosis are so civilized. The Freys gutting a pregnant woman. Murdering children. Blowing up helpless peasants. A model of liberal civil society.

How is she just as bad as her father? Because she has dragons in the first place? Because she led a battle? How many people have Jamie Lannister and Bronn personally murdered? Remember, Jamie pushed a child out of a tower window to conceal his incestuous affair with Cersei.

"The Dothraki are dirty savages! They should all die!!"
Congrats. You sound like a bonafide racist.

"When Bronn was lining up the arrow to hit Drogon—in what felt like a direct homage to Bard from The Hobbit—are we hoping he succeeds? Or are we rooting for the end result, which is “no one we know or recognizes dies?” Was anyone watching that final scene rooting strongly for one side to wipe out the other?"

I can accept the voice being magic, but it's the intellectual/emotional aspect of mimicking him. It's like does the disguise imbue its wearer with thoughts/psyche? Did GoT writers not see Freaky Friday?

But what is that going to lead to? If Jamie was going to recognize that Cersei is irredeemable he would have done it in episode 1. So is the point for Tyrion to betray Dany? Again, seems like an arbitrary way to tilt the scales at this point in the storyline. The Lannisters are turning into soap opera villains. …

Presumably they all trained in how to use the ballistas before leaving for Highgarden, just in case they ended up fighting the dragons. I'm more bothered by the lucky timing. Like the dragon could just breath fire and melt the arrow mid air, if not roast the ballista before it even fires. I liked the moment with…

tbh her swordplay bothered me a lot less than her miraculous ability to perfectly imitate Walder Frey. How does she know what to say to sound like him etc?

"At this point in Game Of Thrones, a character’s death is not just an event that will move the plot forward: it is an endnote to their character arc, forever defining their contributions to this story."

She's not the Tywin of anything though. The entire series has depicted her as a rash short sighted narcissist. The core of her character is that she makes power plays that end up backfiring. That's why her kids are dead, and she ended up the prisoner of the Sept.

Wow av club is too cowardly to review broadchurch. How pathetic.

Exactly. I think Dany is due for a dramatic betrayal.
