At this point I want the show to end forever in the nuttiest, most WTF way possible because why not.

First four seasons are gold.

The rest... I think I should have done a first watch of The Wire instead of going through all of GoT since April for the first time.

fuck it, get Ed Skerin back for the part too

I think women are going to be more receptive to this episode than most men.  They'll be able to justify this as someone who just lost their BFF and got shut down by their crush.  99% of women would have done the same thing.  The other 1% would have done worse.

Like the books have been slowly setting up Mad Dany so that I don't mind. It's actually a good thematic story after all of the "Messiah" consumed by her belief in her own hype and destiny so that nothing else matters and all obstacles must be destroyed no matter the cost.

 

But her complete heel turn this episode was done in the most crude and unsubtle of ways. 

 

 

The vaunted Iron Fleet that has magic teleportation powers, has destroyed several enemy fleets, commanded by a plot armored troll, and killed a dragon easily? Wiped out in 1 minute.

 

The regiment of now super-powered scorpions? Obliterated without much trouble.

 

The vaunted Golden Company that is hyped up as one of the best fighting forces in the entire world? Wiped out in 30 seconds.

 

The Lannister army, which is said to be ready to fight to the death for Cersei? Throws down its weapons.

 

The standing order to keep attacking until the city bells are rung? Stopped the second the bells ring.

 

 

So Dany has 100% annihilated the enemy, with barely breaking a sweat, and it will be rather easy to breach the Red Keep and get Cersei. So what does she do? Kill fucking everyone of course, because that's the plot the writers wanted to do and by golly they are going to do it.

I don’t disagree here.  I do think that how Dany took out the fleet and scorpions was how the power level of the dragons should have been to begin with. 

 

What’s weird is I’m not against the plot point they took, it’s just Dany’s snap into total “Burn them all madness” just kind of happens and leaves you going “Wtf?”

i think a season of crazy dany would've been good. two episodes of crazy dany isn't really working.

I think this, there needed to be more time to show her descent to where you can believe she’s really ready to just burn everything to the ground.  There have been moments in prior seasons where you saw that in her (her being ready to return Mereen to the dirt) but this moment that could have been brilliant felt jarring because they way rushed it

I will say that ignoring the character flaws and taken as pure spectacle. The destruction scenes were very well shot and portrayed.

So what is the justification in the show for Dany wanting to burn millions of civilians who had already surrendered? I'm not being snarky or anything I legit want to try and understand what the show was intending. 

What I got, was earlier in the episode she makes a comment or two about how “the people in Mereen rose up for me.”  And then she mentions how she plans on breaking the old world to build a new one, or something to that extent 

 

There’s been a few moments throughout the show too where Dany threatens to burn cities to the ground when she gets angry (Quarth, Mereen, etc), and she’s given a speech to the Dothraki about tearing down the stone houses.  It’s even more clear in the book Dany teeters on the edge of madness and kindness in her heart, and when she goes madness a lot of ugly brutality comes out.  Prior to this episode, she lost just about everyone keeping her brutal side in check, had been getting more dismissive of Tyrion’s cautions to not burn everything to the ground and her ex-lover is a political rival who she feels no longer loves her.  I get that she feels like a Targaryen alone in the world and is ready to really embrace the line “Fire and Blood” to make a fearful demonstration and try to force everyone to submit to her, since they weren’t rising up on their own accord.

 

I think the big misstep on the show’s part is they rushed that snap to completely madness (which I think was clearly foreshadowed as being a potential for her) and so it felt jarring.

It is one of the worst comments I've read here. If it isn't sexism on its purest form then I don't know what is.

All of the acting and production value in the episode was phenomenal.

 

My main gripe was the botched character development for Dany and Jaime.  That leaves me pretty mixed on this episode because there were so many brilliant things done by the cast and crew that get overshadowed by D+D’s two big plot decisions there.

i said at the start of the season i was worried about him dying, but so far seems like he'll make it through by virtue of doing nothing.
