In what world does it make sense for her to snap against innocent civilians which she’s spent 7.5 seasons saying she wants to protect when cersei was right infront of her and she could have just gone for her?

It doesn’t

Let’s agree with the appalling writing to be edgy

Even Lost managed to end whilst keeping the characters true to their arcs. And that was a fookin mess of an ending.

Yeah, but spending no more than 10 seconds on that major development for a major character in what has been an 8 season show is terrible writing and pacing.

Literally this. I could have taken the Mad Queen angle had there been some proper development of it.

It’s pretty obvious the books are ending the same way.

Maybe stick to AHS if you’re happy with sloppy writing and don’t like people complaining when something goes to ****

In a world that she realised regardless of what she did she was never going to receive the love and respect she wanted as Queen, it came from her own mouth. Even if she'd just killed Cersei then what? there would still be ill feeling towards her and she'd never be fully embraced when there's people who know Jon is the rightful heir to the throne, which obviously wasn't the reign she wanted. That combined with the emotion of losing those closest to her and the feeling everything she'd spent years working for had crumbled around her left her desperate and in her mind feeling she had no other choice than to take the 'rule by fear' route. You could literally tell by the emotion in her face before she chose to attack that she still seemed conflicted on what she was about to do but ultimately felt it had to be done.

If you actually read what's been said you'd know that people don't have an issue with her going mad, it's that she went mad in a second with only rushed plot 'development' in the past two episodes.

The writers never wrote her with the mad queen angle in mind and that's fairly obvious given the quotes that Smithy pulled up. From what I've heard, such an outcome makes sense in the books where her actions are a bit crazed but TV show Dany wasn't written to be insane until literally the episode before this one.

I'm hoping that HBO **** those two writers off ASAP, I won't watch the spinoff if they are behind it.
