No it wasn't clear a thing all after sniping Rhaegal from a ridiculous distance behind Dragonstone....and even if you assume that...Dany was damn sure in range.

I think the book, and show, both give you the reason Jaime got dubbed the Kingslayer was because the Mad King was about to burn the whole city rather than lose it. He had also previous burnt the two Starks alive...or burnt one while the other hanged I think.aTmAg said:
Does the book go into the "don't kill all the civilians" stuff as much as the show? Seems like they are going way too 21st century on that sentiment. Back in the days prior to laser guided bombs and stuff, they had no choice than to waste the entire city. Hell as recetnly as 80 years ago we'd go Dresden on an entire city because we didn't have the ability to do pinpoint attacks.
Dany has started to show the tendency to make pretty crazy decisions along those lines, hence Tyrion and Varys being worried.

It's not about the explanation, but Sansa and Arya's reaction to it. They could have even cut away and come back, but this was a massive moment for the four Starks, characters we've known since the very first episode, and also possibly the last time they're all together, and we didn't get to see it.
but you did see it. You saw Sansa's emotional response to it - Tyrion saying he's never been a Stark and her tearing up and then obviously telling Tyrion. And Arya's response was getting out of there on here own to do what she does best - but she never would have had a real emotional response to it anyway (she barely reacted to Gendry).
'Not killing civilians' is definitely not a 21st century thing. If anything, willingly killing civilians was a 19th/20th century thing. It wasn't really a thing before that.

Question though...is there a reason Cersei wouldn't just kill all of them right there??
No. Which means it's crap writing. Cersei would take that opportunity every day and twice on Sundays.
Also, Clay Travis just made a good point on his post shoe periscope... Bran is a ****ing 3ER. Why is he not going and researching **** so they can avoid stuff like the ambush.
Bran is probably never leaving Winterfell again unless it's to go North to the other Godswood.

Yep. not necessary now. the only reason it might have been was if Dany needed proof but she didn't. She believes it. Appeared to me that the dragon riding was the clincher for her (her reaction after the battle in the hall).
Sorry for utilizing common sense regarding the intent of having the dragon so far back. Back to your dazzling book smarts.Joseph Parrish said:DannyDuberstein said:

You should study physics buddy. Those castles walls are not a mile tall. They were damn sure in range. And they just showed you the range of the weapon in the previous scene. Drop the insults.

Drogon was pretty clearly intended to be out of range, otherwise he'd have been right beside Dany. You don't need to study physics to see that's clearly what they were going for.
Intended doesn't matter if they mess it up and put him as close as they did during the episode.
But we didn't see their reaction to Jon himself. Thats a scene I'd have loved to see, especially given Arya and Jon's relationship.
Except that his character has experienced all this growth throughout the course of the show. I don't think he is going back just to "be with her".

You clearly ignored the previous scene where Rhaegal was sniped from across the bay.

And anyone think Euron is going to turn sides or at least abondon Cersei now that Tyrion mentioned her baby? Euron ain't dumb and he'll figure out "uhm, how does Tyrion know about our baby? You haven't talked to him since the Dragonpit Summit, and we had t had sex yet... oh... I see.... peace!"

I think he does - but he intends to kill her. He can tell her he fought for the living and that battle is over and beg forgiveness.
she couldn't kill Tyrion twice now when she had the chance - she ain't gonna kill Jamie.

I think this episode all but confirmed that Dany is going to die. They're slowly building up to it by slowly eliminating all those who are loyal to her and emphasizing her questionable claim to the throne. She's lost the Dothraki, majority of the Unsullied, Jorah, and Missandei (Grey Worm likely to follow). Plus she's lost two dragons, and at this rate probably three dragons in no short time given the way she utilizes them. Also as others have stated, she's also becoming to resemble her father the Mad King.

He is still half Stark which is the same amount he was thought he was anyways so you'd at least kinda want to see the kids reassure him of it.

Wait... People actually took that to think he's going back to Cersei? Cmon. That'd be literally the dumbest of all storylines.
He's got a kid with her coming, though. And while he's shown some growth, there's no reason to say he can't backslide. Not everyone on this show is going to end up a good person and that's a GOOD thing. This show has always blurred the lines between good and evil and not made it black and white.
There's no reason to expect a ful redemption for the guy who ended the first episode tossing a kid out the window. Maybe it happens, but maybe it doesn't.
I still have some complaints (minor-ish compared to last week) but seeing varys and Tyrion at their best in probably 4 years was worth it. Two of the shows best characters got significant time so I'll call it a win.
Does that matter? They were still all together. I just think that would have been an important scene to see from a character standpoint. How does Sansa react, how does Arya react, etc.
But that's just one example of a thing that's been bothering me a little all season. We see characters that are about to have a tough/awkward/emotional conversation and then it cuts away.

IMO this one was probably the worst cut away of them all.bobinator said:

In this episode Tyrion suggested the talk with Cersei, which lead to the dragon death and missendi(sp?). Not sure he'll be on Dany's good list next week.

The problem is that Tyrion and Vary's seem to be living in 21st century.

I think they are showing Dany cracking pretty obviously just via Emilia's facial expressions.
Except that the Night's Watch exists for this purpose. Both of her advisors were even telling her to do this. The show starts immediately after a rebellion, where they take over King's Landing without taking out the entire city.

For me, all bets are off. Almost everything is plausible, but I'm not sure what is probable at this point. I oculd see the show going in every direction.
Best lines though:
"Which one of you cowards **** in my pants?" --Tormund
"I've never slept with a knight before" --Jamie
"I'm happy that you finally had to climb for it" --Tyrion
"If anyone offered me money to kill you, you'd pay double....What's double Riverrun?" --Bronn
"Gonna leave me to die again if I get hurt?" --Hound
"Probably" --Arya
"you weigh as much as two fleas ****ing" --Tormund
