I feel like we needed more of a reason for Dany to just snap like that, I get it was because she'd lost everything, but they needed something in that moment for her to want to 'Burn them all'

Spoiler:

Because they killed
her 2nd Dragon

[reece(:]

Sooo much mess

- Dany going from freer of slaves to mad lady committing genocide on dragon
- Arya untouchable / Arya having a magic horse appear
- Jaime's whole storyline TBH...
- Jaimie mortally wounded and he's running around the dungeon with Cersei
- Qyburn death (LOL)
- Dothraki were claimed to be wiped out now they're back (???)
- Cersei the main villain suddenly becomes the rootable victim?! With the LAMEST death scene
- Yara MIA
- SAM lives

this was a great Episode
you could not write it reece..............................

Great Clouds
permitted her to fly in fast
Utter Bliss.

[Glenn.]

I think anyone with sense that was writing this episode would have stopped the attack at the bell ringing, then moved to the Red Keep to destroy Cersei.

There was NO need for what happened.

[bitontheslide]

I thought it was all appropriate .... she said root and stem a couple of episodes ago, and that's what we got

[Vicky.]

Yeah I remain dissapointed in this series.

No point in killing all the innocents, like., why not just fly over to where Cersei is and burn her.

Knew they were going to do mad queen Dany though, shes been building to this for quite some time with the arrogance and basically 'bend the knee or be burnt alive!' stuff.

Tyrion is so obviously dead next week

There is a HUGE difference between when the books were being followed somewhat and whats came afterwards. I hope if GRRM ever finishes the books, they are better than this..

[Tom4784]

Everything is just so dumb and inconsistent and there's no real thought to anything that's happened.

I can't get over how badly this show has caved in on itself in the space of two episodes. It's remarkable, really.

You are not the Writer.
Revenge is real
she loved Both Dragons
It was a War
Deadly..........................................

It was ****ing dumb and there's no excuse for bad and lazy writing.

[Babayaro.]

Qyburn's death made me scream, even though it was so so ridiculous to kill him off just like that

No its like the First World War
started from a Assassination
and bad slow communications,


You can not call the last episode Lazy Writing
No one expected such force
The writer is Clever.

Yes a Shock
a Old man Adviser
no one expected that.
But the city was falling.........................


Clever writing.

[Babayaro.]

It wasn't clever writing

Keep Writing Yourself
Dezzy.

There was nothing clever about this episode and it was certainly lazy. Spectacle doesn't make for a good episode especially when there's character assassination going on all around.

It's bad writing, nothing more and nothing less.

I'm also getting really sick of people using my writing as a means to insult me.

[Daniel.]

Idk how Danys character has been butchered , her diehard stans just cant see whenit’s been building for years

I liked it bar Cersei’s death.

Also no one is telling me this season is worse than 2 or 5

Yup. I got proper blasted elsewhere for saying this was the way it was going to go, apparently I just hate her so want her to be bad, but no, its obviously been coming for a long time now and surely everyone could see it..seems not though

[Amy Jade]

I've read Dezzy's 1st book and it's a great read, arista.

[Tom4784]

It's because Dany's descent into madness was dumb, rushed and made zero sense. Whenever they've tried to float the idea in the past seasons it's never panned out because she's never really seemed insane, it's always been a a potential plot strand that relied on the plot forcing the characters into roles that go against who they are.

Daenerys wouldn't flick a switch in her head that makes her believe it's fine to kill innocents and children. The only times she's killed before have been either for the sake of the people (the Slave cities) or she's killed enemies in the context of battle or for revenge (that witch in the first series who manipulated her into giving up her child's life). She's never killed innocents and this heel turn just goes against her established arc. It's cheap writing meant to illicit shocks and nothing more.

They should have just had her burn the Red Keep, that would have been a way to show her brutality without the wanton murder of innocents that goes against everything she is.

[bitontheslide]

I don't think it was particularly out of Dani's character either. She has never failed to deliver retribution before, and she lost her closest friend and a dragon just before the attack

No Insult was meant
at all.
Your Writing is Great.

Umm..she roasted the Tarleys for no other reason than they refused to bow to her

Also, its taken a trigger to make her go full mad. And whats shes had to deal with in the past few episodes would be more than enough to send someone into a rage.

I thought she'd go straight for the Red Keep, not genocide the whole of King's Landing, before destroying the keep, I'm struggling to get why she killed the population on purpose, so people would fear her?

[Lostie!]

I've disliked Daenerys ever since she killed Mirri Maz Duur

I'm a few eps behind but cba staying spoiler free, and what a ****ty ending for Varys. Fair play to Conleth Hill openly saying the sidelining of his role in recent years frustrated him.
