Honestly, I was pissed the Bronn didn't bite it. He should have.

So many close calls for him. He's not that big a character. What happened to the good old days when favourites were killed off?

If Bronn dies there won't be anyone left to save Bad Pussy.

 

[Sectorseven]

Did all the food get destroyed?

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Did Jaime look at someone turn to ash in front of his eyes?
I'm wondering if I saw that right.

I know people literally turned to ash but damn if that didn't make Jaime think he has to kill either Dany or Drogon.

The charge was stupid and brave of him, but I have to respect it. He saw a chance to end this destruction and went for it.

But like Tyrion said, it was stupid of him. Dany had everyone shook with Drogon. Those close ups to the Lannister soldiers and Dickon talking about murdering folk he knew..


And they say GOT glorifies violence...

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Great episode.

Those Drogon scenes must have been expensive as fuck, it was beautiful lol

 

[Heshinsi]

Why dont Dany's other dragons get love too? It's always Drogon that gets screen time.

Notice how she was guiding Drogon around? It's easy to get them to focus on a single ship like in Mereen, but they'd be flying around on their own on a battlefield like that.

I like him but yeah, he should have died.

 

[qcf x2]

Dany has spent the entire series learning to be a proper ruler and essentially going through a checklist of different Targaryen personality flaws and learning to do the opposite. She isn't perfect by any means but she is probably the best option outside Jon Snow who doesn't want it or Tyrion who would never be allowed to have it.

No she hasn't. She has spent the entire series being petulant time and time again, reminding people of her supposed birthright time and time again, using her dragons to intimidate time and time again, shaming people who try to help her time and time again, and did I mention doing dumb shit time and time again? She has shown zero traits befitting of a ruler.

Cersei, for all her cruelty, ascended to the throne and knows how to be a politician and tactician. She is not fit to rule, but neither is Danerys, by all sensible standards. Then again, I'm not sure the 7 Kingdoms ever had a good regent.

 

[JadedWriter]

Dany summoned Bahamut...

 

[Nameless]

No one is talking about how Davos absolutely destroyed Jon this episode.

Jon: How many men do we have, ten thousand, less?

Davos: Fewer

Dude couldn't even read a couple years back and now he's slaying in the war on poor grammar. Stannis would be proud.

 

[MercuryLS3]

It's just unbelievable that a tv show can have scenes like this. Netflix wants to be more like HBO, good luck.

 

[jetjevons]

Look seriously screw all the haters. If your face didn't melt a little bit from the end of that episode I don't know what show you think you're watching at this point.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

One of the most popular non "top main cast" was just killed in last week's episode.

I also thought for sure either Bronn, Jamie, or even both were going to be dead there as well but whatever

Good point, forgot about Olenna. Still though, she died quietly in a room in her castle.

Bronn almost superman-like defiance of death there was a bit much. He should have bought it the second his harpoon hit the dragon.

But then who would have saved Jamie? Bronn is a bit too heroic, this was his time to die.

 

[DangerMouse]

lol

Haha

The stuff with the dragon looked so damned good.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Bronn can't die on account of the only acceptable ending is him, Tyrion and Podrick sipping wine at Bronn's castle.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

But why was Jamie there then?

Why would he be not there? Jamie wanted to be with his soldiers who were left behind still gathering food wagons as a good commander.

 

[Shin K Dash]

lol

I imagine that's him taking his frustrations out.

 

[Nameless]

I see we're already on the path of rekindling our friendship.

Death by fire is the purest death, Heshinsi. I knew you'd come to understand this.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That was an incredible battle, one of the best scenes on the show.

I do kind of think it's convenient that everyone of note survived, though. They threw the Jaime thing in there at the end to pretend any main characters were actually in danger but c'mon we know he's fine.

 

[Plum]

Look seriously screw all the haters. If your face didn't melt a little bit from the end of that episode I don't know what show you think you're watching at this point.

There was lots of fire at the end there but I'm pretty sure that can't escape the TV and melt faces.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

It's just unbelievable that a tv show can have scenes like this. Netflix wants to be more like HBO, good luck.

GoT I think is run much like a movie studio runs the shooting of a film. I really don't see a difference at this point. Only difference is each film is 7-10+ hours long.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

So Bran is basically just...watching the show with us, right? He's the audience as a character.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

No one is talking about how Davos absolutely destroyed Jon this episode.

Jon: How many men do we have, ten thousand, less?

Davos: Fewer

As an English teacher, I loved those old scenes with Stannis the Grammarian. But there have been way too many callbacks like that this season.

 

[SargerusBR]

Yes! I'm gonna burn all these supplies my army needs just because "muh dragons"!

 

[ComputerBlue]

Look seriously screw all the haters. If your face didn't melt a little bit from the end of that episode I don't know what show you think you're watching at this point.

Plenty of people who half glass empty this show. What can you do.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

That siege weapon looks like it supposed to take 3 men to operate and probably 5 minutes to load. It would also be so difficult to actually hit an airborne target with that thing. Bron single-handedly taking down a dragon on his second shot is a bit of a stretch.

Also, jamie is dead right? That's some deep water and he's wearing heavy armour.

 

[jetjevons]

Bronn can't die on account of the only acceptable ending is him, Tyrion and Podrick sipping wine at Bronn's castle.

Bronn came so close this episode I genuinely believed it was possible. Holy shit. I was rooting for no one. It was a genuinely confusing scene emotionally.

 

[riotous]

I'm just glad the things that bother people aren't bothering me; teleportation and plot armor don't distract me at all from the greatness. I have shows I hate-watch where I enjoy nit picking but with Game of Thrones I'm like a popcorn eating joe six-pack.

 

[Sephzilla]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

 

[TimeEffect]

Why would he be not there? Jamie wanted to be with his soldiers who were left behind still gathering food wagons as a good commander.

Yes but the timeline doesn't make sense to me, it appears as if they JUST arrived, killed Olenna, and then were preparing to leave. That takes a few days tops. Dany hearing about this news would take up those days, and then taking her army there would take time too. It just doesn't make sense, unless Jamie and his army decided to stay at Highgarden for some time.

 

[MercuryLS3]

That was an incredible battle, one of the best scenes on the show.

I do kind of think it's convenient that everyone of note survived, though. They threw the Jaime thing in there at the end to pretend any main characters were actually in danger but c'mon we know he's fine.

I wish Jaime died so Cersei would be sad and miserable...before she (hopefully) dies a horrible death.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

No one ever said Dany has a good judgement decisions.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

I'm pretty sure that if/when Jamie dies, there isn't going to be any question about it. It will be absolutely spectacular and obvious.

 

[The Artisan]

Dragons are OP. Please nerf

? The dragon was injured from 1 sting so bad it had to glide down.

 

[OrionX]

Btw somebody's definitely getting killed by Arya's new dagger. Who will it be?

A. Littlefinger
B. Cersei
C. Night King
D. All of the Above

 

[jetjevons]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

So now they HAVE to collaborate.

Obviously.

Better than burning the Red Keep.

 

[DangerMouse]

It's just unbelievable that a tv show can have scenes like this. Netflix wants to be more like HBO, good luck.

Even the shadows on the ground coming from the flames as Drogon shoots, goddamn it looked fantastic.

 

[GreyWind]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

Maybe Dany doesn't have full control of Drogon.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Think Rhaegal or Viserion are gonners this season.


That bolt looked like it hurt and the other dragons aren't as strong as Drogon.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

There's a lot of cooked food now

 

[Netherscourge]

I'm still blown away by the Dokrathi.

Yea, Drogon got most of the glory, but holy shit that opening charge.

When they climbed up on their saddles to get a better angle with their arrows over the Lannister shield wall, I was like - God Damn.

 

[riotous]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

I kind of assumed to send a message and fuck with Cersei.. it might not be a bright move but it's a show of strength; I imagine the Dothraki aren't too keen on carrying wagons full of grain somewhere either.

 

[Obliterator]

Bronn came so close this episode I genuinely believed it was possible. Holy shit. I was rooting for no one. It was a genuinely confusing scene emotionally.

Agreed. I even turned to my wife at one point during the battle and I was like "If Jamie and Bronn weren't here right now I'd be cheering". But I didn't want them to die and at the same time I was rooting for Dany (can't believe I'm saying this) to win.

It was an incredible battle but very difficult emotionally. One of the few times I really didn't want to see any of the "main players" be killed

 

[MMarston]

I never liked following Bran, and "woke Bran" isn't anywhere close to changing that opinion.

 

[molnizzle]

So now they HAVE to collaborate.

Obviously.

Better than burning the Red Keep.

Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

A. Littlefinger
B. Cersei
C. Night King

Arya gonna be that surprise party member you bring off the bench against the final boss at the end of the rpg.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I wish Jaime died so Cersei would be sad and miserable...before she (hopefully) dies a horrible death.

Yeah, but I think we can see Jaime's trajectory at this point and it ain't dying anytime soon.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Btw somebody's definitely getting killed by Arya's new dagger. Who will it be?

A. Littlefinger
B. Cersei
C. Night King
D. All of the Above

Hoping for all of the above!

I would love nothing more thought to see LF go first. Hopefully this season! *wish*

 

[Werd]

So what was the purpose of destroying all of the food? So now nobody can eat?

Well I mean they were plotting to barricade the port at King's Landing and long term siege the city, no? Burning supplies just hastens that idea, as harmful as it may be entering Winter. Seems like she could have just taken the carts back with her, but they were close to King's Landing so I don't know maybe they are going to leave quickly.

Plus this seemed like a very long train of carts, didn't destroy that many in the greater scheme. I definitely noticed it as it was going on though so yeah kind of trying to justify it myself, was a bit weird.

 

[sangreal]

I wish Jaime died so Cersei would be sad and miserable...before she (hopefully) dies a horrible death.

I don't think she gives a shit about him anymore. She wasn't even sad when Tommen died
