****ing loved that episode

[Scarlett.]

Dany should have stayed in Mereen, if she had been able to put her obsession with the Iron Throne behind her, she could have stayed so happy.

[Scarlett.]

If this season had have had more episodes, they could have built up to what happened in today's episode much more convincingly I think, it's seemed kind of rushed

[Ninastar]

Anyone know what song/music it was while everything was burning? I can’t find it

I remember listening and thinking it sounded kind of scary

I heard several leitmotifs being used, most recognisable was 'Light of the Seven', the Targaeryen theme and 'Rain's of Castemere'

But the way in which it was deadly was not clever. It was visually incredible, but like Dezzy said, it was as if the writer's were just trying to shock for the sake of it. It would have been okay had Daenerys' decent into madness been built up over an entire season, but it has not really and therefore, the whole thing, as impressive as it was, did not feel earned.

[Babayaro.]

How does everyone think the finale will go? It's bound to go down the Jon, Tyrion & Sansa vs Daenerys route, but surely it won't be as straightforward as that?

Those are the only characters with a purpose left, so the likes of Arya, Davos, Grey Worm, etc must be done.

I think both Dany and Tyrion will die and Sansa will become queen, with Jon as her hand. Although, that does sound too good to be true for GoT's standards.

[Strictly Jake]

Just watched. I wasn't ready for any of that....like what the hell!

i think Arya will kill greyworm and Dani. Tyrion will probably cop it too at some point

Cersei deserved better

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..

All of this.

Plus the Kings Landing Knights were absolutely unrealistic throughout the whole episode, how Kings Landing has managed to survive this long is shocking considering how weak the Guards seem to be for Kings Landing.

Also Dany's logic makes no sense to me, the writers need to do a better job there imo.

Episode 3 has been the only decent episode this season, the rest have been average to abysmal.

And some people thought that BSG and Dexter ended badly, I've never seen either show deliver episodes on this level of bad quality imo.

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.

The Tarlys were people who fought against her and refused to bend a knee, Most rulers in GOT are forced to kill people who don't bend a knee. She didn't just roast them either, she gave them both the same choice, she gave them an opportunity to live.

That's a world of difference from Dany suddenly deciding that she wants to burn innocent people and children. The whole character change was dumb and was devoid of sense and logic. Piss poor writing.

[Amy Jade]

Damn I was ready to come defend Dani but wow. Killing all the innocent people was shameful, why not just go destroy where Cersie was hiding?

The guard had surrendered there was no need to kill the city folk. They managed to make Cersie sympathetic and Dani evil in under an hour.

Not sure how I feel...

I agree.

She's gone from wanting to free prisoners to killing innocent people.

I understand she is grieving over Missandei and Rhaegal but such a heel turn is pretty odd. Even if people suspected she was power mad she was never blood thirsty.

This is a woman who was damn good at playing the game and would do anything to survive yet she didn't have an escape option? She didn't have a plan for what to do if the Scorpions didn't work? She killed a king when he no longer suited her designs, she blew up a sept and wiped out all of her enemies in one fell swoop when they thought they had her cornered and she managed to strip away Dany's resources over the course of Season 6 and weaken her substantially. She did all this yet she didn't think of a plan B in case the fleet and the Scorpions went down? Cersei WOULD NEVER!

Shoddy writing and a disservice to both the fans and Lena Headey who served excellent performances every time she was on screen.

It would have made more sense if they killed Rhaegal in this episode instead of last week's. Have King's Landing surrender but Euron or a soldier under Cersei's command takes out Rhaegal as the bells are ringing, that would have made for a more logical trigger for her actions.

It would still be ****ty but it would have made more narrative sense.

Poor Cersei being stuck in the Red Keep for all of her 10 mins screentime in season 8

Great point, I think that would have been a well timed trigger.

[user104658]

I mean that was messy af and doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I'm willing to forgive literally all of it because of;

"Sir Gregor, stay with your queen!"
"Nah" *smoosh* *yeet!*
*Cersei tiptoes past without a word*

I screeched

And just the entire situation really.

"Oh hai I'm a massive zombie and literally my entire reason for existing for the past several years has been to defend the Queen which I have done up until this moment but tbh I really REALLY want to kill my little brother... So..."

Justice for OUR queen

I think Grey Worm is pretty certain to get killed by someone trying to get to Dany. Most likely Jon will battle (and beat) Wormy.

Been reading that the Azor Ahai stuff is vague enough that it might not have been about the white walkers at all, and it might end up being Daenerys that is the "darkness" that needs to be destroyed...

Yeah I think this could be possible. It would be a terrible way for him to go, but I would not be surprised tbh.
