THAT battle was un fucking believable

The fact we are watching a TV Show that has this kind of scale is incredible

I don't think we stop to appreciate this enough. I'm kind of amazed this show even exists.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Tyrion loves his brother. If given the chance and Jamie was taken hostage, he would set him free.

A lot of interesting stuff in the last few pages of this thread. lol

Do the people that hate Dany not want her to win because of the dragons? Is it the gamer mentality setting in of "cheer for one of the underdogs because she's op?" I'll be honest, I don't want her to win and it's not because of her being OP. I'd like to see Jon win or the unexpected like...idk...one of the Stark ladies sitting on the throne.

She has no redeeming qualities as a character.

At least Jon has been shown time and again that he, infact, ain't shit. And he knows it.

 

[thewaffles]

What are the chances of Littlefinger dying in the next three episodes?

99.9%, repeating of course.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Sansa is going to do something stupid.

The way Bran didn't hug her when they reunited, they way he hugged Arya when they reunited while staring Sansa down.

Then Sansa's reaction to Arya actually being a badass, the envy.

Every week is an event

It's such an incredible treat

How would a line of muskets do against dragons?

Not well. Muskets are extremely innacurate, so they would have to shoot very closely to the beast. A properly trained dragon would probably be able to easily avoid it while burning everybody. Maybe rifles could do some damage if mass fired...

The hardest thing however is to make man stay in line against an upcoming threat such as that. Against horses are already hard and they won't charge a shield wall. Against a dragon that will burn you alive?

I thought the most fantastical scene in this episode was the Lenister's archers holding in formation against the dragon. That took some nerve.

 

[darkwing-buck]

That battle was insane. That was like civil war era infantrymen meeting an F-16 fighter jet, holy shit they couldn't do anything.

Also the way they portrayed the dragon's fire effectiveness was so nice to watch. That thing literally turns armies into a bowl of ashes.

 

[Jarmel]

I just can't get over how fast of a drop off that water level was. Like two feet to the left was 6 inches max of shallow water, then a drop off into an endless abyss.

I was thinking that too. lol

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Did anyone else sing TROGDOR during tonight's battle?

 

[Mathieran]

So 3 episodes left this season, 6 more afterwards...do we think they resolve the War for the Iron Throne or the White Walkers first? And will one be resolved this season? They can't do both at the same time still, can they?

I think Iron Throne is settled this season.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

"invading threat"

I mean, I dont know what you expected...she was amassing an army for the past 6 seasons, for what reason? To defeat her fucking enemies. She has 3 dragons with her who are crucial for her to win Westeros. It's just plain ridiculous for me to see people going look how cruel she is when shit actually hits the fan. It's like people expecting her to just walk in and become crowned, in Westeros of all places. So yeah she is an invading threat! NO SHIT!

Nothing so far shows that she cannot bring peace to the lands. But in order to do that first, she has to defeat her enemies' armies. People really do not understand the concept of war?

You're missing the point like Bronn missed that arrow.

I'm not criticizing the show, I'm criticizing Danny as a person in Westeros for what she is doing.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Those last couple of minutes were intense.

When the dragon opened his mouth and Bronn shot the weapon, I could have sworn he was gonna hit the dragon right through the mouth.

Glad to know that the dragon came out relatively unscathed.

Next week should give us a Tyrian and Jamie reunion. That should be interesting.

 

[beta_fuse]

Littlefinger won't survive the season if you paid attention. Brandon basically called him out and gave the dagger Littlefinger tried to have Bran killed with to his assasin sister.

Just cause he will die doesn't mean he can't plan something. All I'm saying is it seems to suspicious to make Sansa use those words exactly to describe the reunion.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Who saved Jamie ? It was bron? I did not see it clearly

 

[Big Blue]

What about mustard gas in WWI?

If there is a Geneva Protocol is Westeros, then you'd have a point.

Lol, besides I'm sure napalm was used since then. Which is closer to dragon fire?

 

[DangerMouse]

How much fucking money does HBO have

Yep, that was a fucking movie battle like Hardhome, but even higher budget with the dragon that looked fantastic.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

He was right too lol, but that dragon say nah.

But real talk, I'm surprised the whole line didn't break after the first fire blast.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

I don't know about muskets but if I was Napoleon vs dragons I would use cannons with canister shots. Basically a bigass shotgun.

More important than killing the dragons would killing their rider though.

Could you even engage fast moving aerial targets with Napoleonic era cannons without putting them on an AA gun-like rotating mount like the one the scorpion had in the episode?

Their original mounts would make them take ages to rotate?

 

[Radec]

Is Drogon supposed to be the strongest if the 3 dragons?

 

[Boke1879]

She has no redeeming qualities as a character.

At least Jon has been shown time and again that he, infact, ain't shit. And he knows it.

No redeeming qualities? If that's your reason that's like 90% of people on this show lol

 

[RustyNails]

Them being soldiers is different than them being civilians, but they're still people. You don't just get a pass because they happened to be armed - and for all purposes, they were incapable of fighting back anyway. It ain't a fair fight, and it ain't right.

lmao this is funny shit

PLEASE think of the lannister army

 

[Volimar]

Bronn's gold will be a nice victory bonus.

Who saved Jamie ? It was bron? I did not see it clearly

I don't think we're meant to know until next week.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I know Danny's getting cocky and shit, but fuck anyone rooting for her and the dragons to lose. Cersei is the worst and anything that takes the throne from the Lannisters and wipes out her, Euron and the rest of those scumbags is a huge win in my book.

 

[Jarmel]

Yep, that was a fucking movie battle like Hardhome, but even higher budget with the dragon that looked fantastic.

Hardhome was better shot.

 

[Einchy]

Is Drogon supposed to be the strongest if the 3 dragons?

He's the biggest and was their leader until Dany got full control of him.

 

[serenewarfare]

I feel like Arya might kill Littlefinger and use his face to do something drastic.

 

[sam12]

What are the chances of Littlefinger dying in the next three episodes?

He is quite high on the ladder

 

[mercenar1e]

Bran had a brief moment of hesitation while giving the dagger. he saw something in the future and at that point he realizes that he has a hand in the outcome.

I'm guessing

Spoiler

he probably saw Little Fingers death but didn't know Arya would be involved and him handing her the weapon to do it.

 

[Ponn]

Just awesome episode, glad i skipped watching Sharknado to watch it. As soon as Jaime told his army to line up I knew what was coming and just said "You are so fucked". I couldn't see the screen very well but she just took one dragon right? Imagine all three on the battlefield.

Am I missing something or is it the new edgy thing to be anti-Dany now? I don't get it, people are looking and hoping for her to go bad. If she was truly power hungry she wouldn't have offered to help Jon and executed him. This very episode she stopped herself and even asked him for help and advice and it was obvious she was at a loss and vulnerable.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Jon scribbled those White Walker drawings himself.

 

[darkwing-buck]

So good, Jaime got fucking bodied.

 

[SofNasciment-]

Is Drogon supposed to be the strongest if the 3 dragons?

I believe so, that's why they didn't manage to lock him up in the past. He certainly has the strongest personality at least.

 

[rtcn63]

I don't think we're meant to know until next week.

What if we've vastly underestimated Tyrion's teleportation skills

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Jon scribbled those White Walker drawings himself.

rofl, I said the same thing to my brother when watching.

was literally half expecting to pan over to him holding chalk behind his back .

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Bronn's gold will be a nice victory bonus.



I don't think we're meant to know until next week.

i replayed it and everything about the figure that jumped in to save him looked like Bronn of the Blackwater

 

[Einchy]

lmao this is funny shit

PLEASE think of the lannister army

Dany, please let them kill you! You're not playing fair! 😭

 

[victreeb3l]

It sounded incredible in surround sound. Movie level audio.

For sure. Movie level production as well.

That yelp that Drogon does after getting hit. Damn. That hurt me too ;_;

 

[darkwing-buck]

So wait, is it confirmed the gold was there in the battle? I remember the banker emphasizing that they will need the gold in the bank before they partner up with Cersei.

 

[gun_haver]

You're missing the point like Bronn missed that arrow.

I'm not criticizing the show, I'm criticizing Danny as a person in Westeros for what she is doing.

Some folks only want to hear yas queen.

For the folks who aren't on that train I guess all I have left to say is you aren't alone!

 

[Obliterator]

When me and the wife first saw whole groups of the Lannister army turned to literal ash both of us audibly said "oh my God"

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

When there is a Geneva Protocol is Westeros, then you'd have a point.

Lol, besides I'm sure napalm was used since then. Which is closer to dragon fire?

I'm not even taking a side, this conversation just made me think of that.

Some things are considered too cruel or efficient even by people who are trying to kill eachother.

Nukes are another example. This is like the modern day equivalent of someone with a 'good heart' taking over the world with nuclear weapons. I'm not really taking a side on whether or not shes right to do it.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

No redeeming qualities? If that's your reason that's like 90% of people on this show lol

Some of them happen to be very funny.

Tyrion
Varys
Jaime
Onion Knight
Dolorous Edd
Tormund
Bronn

All got jokes

 

[RDreamer]

Decent episode, but there were way too many luck moments in that battle. Bronn missing getting burned to a crisp by just leaping onto the ground was one. I'm not entirely sure how someone could leap onto a speeding horse to knock Jaime down, either. And both me and my wife were screaming at our TV that there's no fucking way water would be that deep like a foot into that stream.

 

[Jarmel]

So wait, is it confirmed the gold was there in the battle? I remember the banker emphasizing that they will need the gold in the bank before they partner up with Cersei.

They said they had already moved the gold into the city before the battle.

 

[Volimar]

Dany, please let them kill you! You're not playing fair! 😭

You don't understand! One side has an advantage!

 

[Chie Satonaka]

jamie will live but he shouldn't

awesome to see the dragon's fury in action, but those scorpions will be their doom

People keep saying he's gonna kill Cersei, but I still feel like that's just too predictable and on the nose.

I've been saying this since last season, the swerve is that Cersei is going to betray Jamie and kill him somehow. Even Olenna knew it.

 

[DangerMouse]

It's crazy because at the start of the episode I was so jazzed about a lot of little things.

Arya's reunion. Especially her spar w/ Brienne. Arya is legit now, and she got some sweet loot with that dagger. An appropriate upgrade for her skills.

Bran letting on to Littlefinger and all that implies.

Indiana Snow making his little archeological discovery, and the implications.

Sansa making this realization that her siblings are dangerous people.

And they cut to this long shot of the Lannister/Tarly army and the dothraki yipping is heard and I'm talking w/ my sister saying "Hey I wonder if Dany is gonna bring a dragon" and there Drogon is in all his glory and I'm giddy and on the literal edge of my seat until the credits finally show.

What an ep.

Yep, this ep was absolutely amazing.

 

[golem]

One of the cave paintings was a spiral much like how the White Walkers like to lay things out if im not mistaken.

 

[SDBurton]

rofl, I said the same thing to my brother when watching.

was literally half expecting to pan over to him holding chalk behind his back .

I would've laughed so fucking hard, brilliant
