D&D literally don't care. They turned Arya into a 2-dimensional "badass girl" and Cersei into a full on Villain Sue.
Daenerys helped save the world and the Starks and her advisors can't wait to backstab her. Joffrey tried to execute some nobody and the peasants revolted against him. Tywin treated his son like and died because of it. Cersei committed mass murder and not only did nobody care, the people let her be queen. How does Cersei inspire so much devotion in people? What is her secret?
This next episode might be another Battle of the Bas s where the heroes when purely through brute force. Cersei is Ramsay Bolton turned up to 11 with her mustache twirling villainy.
Oh, and good job making Jaime's character do a complete 180°, D&D. Jaime leaving Cersei last season was the one instance where her actions had consequences, and D&D made Jaime say, "Eh, it. I'll go back to Cersei even though she threatened to kill me, and then hired a hitman to actually kill me."
nobody checking Dragonstone's surrounding waters for the Greyjoys
Just shoot me.
I dont think I have ever cringed so much in one sitting as much as I did tonight. HBO, you are not landing this plane well at all.
That dragon death was possibly the chepeast death I have ever witness. Like ing physics everybody. There was a ing mountain in the way and unless you shoot the scorpion arrows straight up, you're not hitting anyone.
Oh for 's sake. GRR Martin might give a if he wasn't wiping his fat ass with them fat stacks right about now.
BTW, Tyrion again s up and lives.
This was actually so much easier to watch after giving up all hope for the show last episode, tbh
the drunken party scene went too long... hard to get excited over 80 minute episodes if they're going to waste so much time on bull . literally, what was the point of the arya/gendry this whole time?
why is sansa so su ious of dany when she voluntarily came up north, brought her armies and dragons to fight FOR WINTERFELL.
having jamie and brienne bone was completely unnecessary. their relationship has never been one of romance, but of mutual admiration. him knighting her was the highlight of their relationship, the porking is just fan service.
plus at that parlay at the end...
Remember when people complained that nothing happened in the first two episodes of the season? And now this is what we get.
the plot didnt advance one bit in this episode besides a dragon dying.
we already knew dany would be switching her focus to kings landing
we already knew cersei wouldnt surrender...
only interesting thing is varys/tyrion discussing jon vs dany. i'd also rather they spend less time with jamie/brienne and arya/gendry and how about not ing cutting away as jon is about to tell sansa/arya his lineage. i want to see that discussion and their reactions. or sansa telling tyrion. why are we wasting time watching tyrion call brienne a virgin instead of seeing those scenes play out? and you had 80 ing minutes...
Yea that dragon's death was too sudden and easy, and the antogonist killing the dragon is so ing lame
I suppose they're trying to make us feel that the final battle(s) can't be won with dragons. It'll be Cersei vs. Snow or whoever instead of 1000's corpses on fire
It almost feels like Sansa or Dany seem too obvious at this point to take Iron Throne. Lore wise I don't know else could take it though besides Snow. Guess a lot of it depends on deaths.

This has reached soap opera levels of tackiness tbh
Only way to keep watching this is if you're accepted what the show is now fully.
Redzero...I may be giving D&D too much credit (again) but I'm taking Jaime's leaving as indication that he'll confront and at least try to kill Cersei. It certainly makes no sense to have him do such a quick 180.
Also....how about Bronn just appearing out of thin air, waltzed right into a foreign hostile castle carrying a fancy crossbow
That was the stupidest ing scene of the episode after Deus Ex Pirate Machina wiping out an entire army in 2 seconds again
Dany lost her best friend , dragon, best girlfriend. She had to watch Jon get all the attention. She has to go mad at this point.
Dragonstone is so close to Kings landing , how are they so dumb to not be prepared for a siege at Sea
I think Jamie kills euron in next episode
I think Dany still gets the throne. There was a lot of talk of Jon derserving this, deserving that. But that is just wishfull thinking.
I saw the episode again and there was a strong sense that Jon is not going to be coming back to Winterfell ever. The Samwell and Tormund scene were like the audience saying goodbye to Jon for good.
I wonder who in here complaining about GoT, were the same ones on their high horse making fun of people who hated The Last Jedi.
This is what happens when HBO takes over and runs the show themselves without the book as a guide.. I am still enjoying this season, but man it just feels like it's cut from a different cloth
the last jedi still leads as bigger i my eyes... but after the final 2 episodes it could be really close.I wonder who in here complaining about GoT, were the same ones on their high horse making fun of people who hated The Last Jedi.
Sansa is little finger , she is doing the same things as little finger. I don't understand why she hates Dany so much. It's just off her sense of fear of her? I don't get it
If it was up to HBO they'd ride this ship right into the bottom of the sea like AMC is doing with The Walking Dead.
I think the showrunners are exhausted and want out and just dont give a if they leave starbucks coffee cups on a table while filming. People give the fat a lot of credit but I think the reason we haven't seen a book in like 10 years in because he's hit a wall and doesn't know how to end it himself.
thats possible. but fan theories have legit been much better than the writing lately.If it was up to HBO they'd ride this ship right into the bottom of the sea like AMC is doing with The Walking Dead.

i mean what was the point of jaime leaving cersei, coming to winterfell (not really accomplishing anything in the battle), and then ditching and going back to kings landing?
these writers are just as clueless but without the quality
I trashed the out of The Last Jedi, too. "Subverted our expectations" has been co-opted by Game of Thrones fans, too.I wonder who in here complaining about GoT, were the same ones on their high horse making fun of people who hated The Last Jedi.
I hope D&D team up with Rian Johnson for that new SW project.
Are D&D writing and directing the spinoff series? I sure as hope not. They have proven to be completely incompetent when they don't have source material to draw from.
this is the first thing i found after searching this stuff. ''Rian Johnson and David Benioff & D.B. Weiss are working closely together as they plot the course for their respective Star Wars movie projects.''
I guess D&D would be writers, while Ruin would direct. ugh...
I think they're decent and capable writers. I'm not sure why everyone is piling on them. Clearly there is some fatigue going on there after being attached to this project for over 9 or however many years it has been.
It's also hard to kickstart a show after you are given materials for x amount of seasons. It's hard to continue as if nothing has happened. You will have some serious gap in quality no matter who you are, imo.
Had this been an original story, it would have either sucked from the start or people would be going crazy for it. So given that discrepency from having book material to not and having to make up on the spot, I give them a break.
