    I thought they just had 1 spinoff going, but apparently there's 3 (5 at one time). It all makes more sense now. They just want to end this shit as fast as possible now and then make mad money with a cast of nobodies across 3 different shows.

    Niggas are getting paid MILLIONS to write this eighth grade, simple jack level of fan fiction for television.
    Everyone on every one of Dany's boats as well as both dragons... yeah. Turns out they're all blind! Surprise! Apex predators with the eyesight of an amoeba.

    How does Dany, who is flying on a dragon, get surprised by a fucking naval fleet??

    by the way, they didn't even get Gendry's name right in the script. His surname is not Rivers.

    Ya. That was super annoying. If they wanted that moment an easier and more believable route would have been them spotting the ships at a distance and Dany in a moment of ego saying fuck it I'll go nuke them and a dragon gets got.

    Give me my millions.

    I cannot believe they got "tricked" again by Euron's fleet. That is the worst fucking writing ever. I used to defend the show from book extremists, but fuck all that anymore.

    They did actually

    The surname a bastard received appears to be connected to the location the child is raised, though this is not a consistent rule. Because of this, bastards who are half-siblings might have different surnames. For example, King Robert I Baratheon's eldest bastard, born and raised in the Vale, is called Mya Stone, while his bastard from the stormlands (fathered on a noblewoman from the Reach) is called Edric Storm.

    "Hey I have a dragon, I can fly ahead and scout out WHAAAT how did those ships get there"

    also I love how three straight shots hit their mark, but then when on Dany, all the shots go astray like a bunch of Stormtroopers

    also folks defending GRRM (even tho he apparently provided the material for these episodes) are starting to sound a lot like the people who defended Justice league and said "Well, if Snyder's cut ever came out it'd be great!"

    It's not surprising a ballista killed a dragon. It's surprising that they got fucking ambushed on the open sea when Dany is flying around and can see everywhere.

    This shit is on D&D. GRRM doesn't have as much sway on these episodes as you think he does.

    Welp, I was confusing Rivers and Waters. Thought you were originally saying he should've been Storm.

    They def got Gendry's name wrong. How the fuck have they screwed up literally every character's arc, cept like Jaime? He was obviously bullshitting to Brienne.

    I fucking loved this episode.

    Bad
    Euron scene was bullshit. I actually said "haha what if cersei just shot a scorpion and killed a dragon right the fuck now" as a fucking joke. and then it happened 2 seconds later and my watch party yelled at me
    Ghost send off was dumb. I appreciate the aspect of Jon's wolf half going north and being happy, while Jon's dragon half goes south and dies right away. But for fucks sake, go pet the dog or something.
    Cersei letting Tyrion walk away. I always though he would survive till the end, but him walking up and giving a speech was a perfect ending for him. Episode should have cut to black as cersei had him killed.


    Good
    The acting was fucking incredible. Tyrion and varys. Missandei yelling Dracarys as her last word. Brienne choking back tears. Even Dany on Drogon and being upset. Just really amazing acting all around.
    30-40 minutes of a drunken northern orgy lol. Tormund being sad, but moving on immedietely. Everyone playing Tyrions favorite game. Sansa and the Hound having a moment. Arya turning Gendy down. Tormund telling stories about Jon and everyone cheering him on.
    Jaime climbing that fucking mountain!
    Mad Queen Danarys time! Having Tyrion and Varys explain it was great. Tyrion explaining how, fucking of course she believes she's destined to the throne, she's literally magic. It explains her reasoning perfectly while Varys gives us the counter of her just sorta being shitty while Jon seems almost perfect. I almost thought Varys would be dead before the episode's end once he started talkign treason. Shit was tense.



    Next episode predictions
    CLEGANEBOWL MOTHERFUCKERS! GET HYPE
    Jaime gonna get wounded, choke cersei to death, and then die on the throne. Maybe Cersei blows up the red keep with wildfire but Jaime forces her to stay there with him
    Arya being overpowered as fucking and doing more than humanly possible
    Full on Mad Queen Dany, burning down portions of the city
    Super Saiyan Grey Worm fucking shit up.
    Varys dying trying to stop Dany
    Euron burns
    Jon gets a good sword fight with the Golden company leader maybe?

    Even Jaime's took it's time getting there.

    And this is D&D so at this point I still worry about his arc.

    THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!
    FUCK JON FOR NOT HUGGING GHOST GOODBYE
    I HOPE THE NIGHT KING BUTT RAPES YOU IN HELL FOR THAT!!!!

    And yeah...there was a lot of shit in this episode that felt....juvenile to say the least. I honestly dont have much hope for the last 2 episodes because I'm just expecting them to go the cheap route instead of writing a decent end to everything. Oh well....

    Can you imagine the title of the first book being about Jon, and his ending battle is against a random dude whose name no one knows?

    There's a new round of spoilers floating around from earlier today and it got everything from this episode right.

    It's gonna be even worse then some of you are already expecting if they hold true.

    No reason to think otherwise, given how poorly these writers have done. At this point, I'll be shocked if they salvage this in any way.
