Don't worry about Dany, when Bron takes the Vale with a pair of climbing spikes and 10 good men she'll see the light.

We need the return of the Bron/Tyrion bromance.
Don't worry about Dany, when Bron takes the Vale with a pair of climbing spikes and 10 good men she'll see the light.
So did Tyrion have to walk/ride all the way to battle while Dany rode her flying mount?
Still hope there is a big fuck you to the audience by letting the white walkers and the Night King win .they at least have a set plan and stick with it and In war have no problem with recruitment

It shouldn't be that way anymore. The streaming technology is there. I'll already rather launch Netflix than utorrent or popcorn time or what-have-you. HBO just can't get it right.

Didn't seem like Tyrion was enjoying watching his ''people'' burn though.
Whoever side you're one, that was a horrific display of power.
Not to take anything away from Dany's victory.

Jorah is on his way back too and Tryion just got beat strategically on the battle field. She just questioned his loyalty again in front of everyone too. Again, I think this all goes along with the downward path her character arc is experiencing.
This could happen, but I think could result in the same outcomes.

Yeah, I really wonder what their involvement in all this will be. They don't seem to have a purpose at the moment regarding either King's Landing or the WW invasion. I guess setting up Mountain vs The Hound is the obvious choice, but can't really see how that encounter would even happen, or why it would even be important aside from being a fanpleaser.
I want better writing, I suppose? The show didn't have to rely on spectacle and unbelievable coincidences in order to keep you on the edge of your seat. That's precisely why I loved it. It didn't require leaps of logic and it kept you on the edge of your seat through good writing, foreshadowing, and great scenes. It didn't need to force tension on us through nearly impossible spectacle.
You're right though, there isn't much to argue about this. I guess people like me and the person that originally brought up the complaint don't want people to make stuff up and then shrug when we show it's not really true. That doesn't get us anywhere either.
The conversation actually went something like this:
"Why wasn't Bronn burned?"
"Because it's fantasy!"
"That's not an excuse. This fantasy showed the effects of flames"
"The flames weren't that wide."
"Yes they were, here's a picture"
"OH WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!?!"
Probably to not have that silly conversation where your only goal is to make excuses for things despite evidence?

Don't agree with the downward path idea. I think despite her show of arrogance, she has actually shown to be pretty smart and sane. Always listens to her ppl and council. I think she has doubts considering how she was sold, raised, and all she had to endure but ultimately U think she uses her council to reaffirm what she already believes.
I think she will doubt Tyrion but he will convince her. Jon is backing him, so will Davos, and so will Varys.
we dont know the status of either bronn or jamie, so if the next episode they are in pristine condition then yes, complain, for now all we can do is waiting.
even is more than likely they are ok

Lmfao, Bran would probably wait until after they banged.

He most certainly didn't. He probably also knows his brother is down there somewhere.
Nope. Just that someone tried and that Littlefinger put Tyrion on the crosshair.

Poor Cersei she is finished i was actually hoping she had a few more victories but with this its over. Those Ballistas (¿) are useless against a Dragon
Oh man, Danny killing Tyrion didn't even cross my mind and I'm usually super cynical regarding Danny lol
It didn't kill a dragon but it downed it with one hit.

30-50 of those scorpions would be deadly.
All this talk about the final battle and whether the width of the fire should have killed Bronn, I forgot about Theon.
Does he want to lead a team to rescue Yara? LOL. It is about time his character had some redemption but considering he has blown all his chances, don't see how this will be it.

Maybe Qyburn can whip up a new batch with autoaim. Or one that launches The Mountain at targets.

We shall see. At the very least it feel like the show is toying with that path so the predicted "jon and dany saving the world on dragons" isn't so obvious.
If they can mass produce those ballistas, they are definitely a threat.

After it killed the entire army it was just a weak moment the damage was done.
Now the Bank will abandon Cersei and her new husband could somehow betray her :C

Theon would try to rescue Yara with the Iron Island's best remaining men, when they find her they'll be greeted with a topless Euron wielding 2 war axes.
The sight of dogs will freak them out and they'll escape.
It's like poetry.

After reading the theory of the ballista arrow being poisoned, it makes a lot of sense considering the history of the show.
I'm still convinced a dragon is going to bite the dust at some point.
I was really hoping when Jon was bringing Dany to the underground, there was some fucking Dragon Armor. Hopefully Dany is smart enough to build some dragon armor.
With only 9 episodes left, there are only so many twists they can serve us.
At this point I'd be ok with zero shock value twists, Dany and Jon joining forces to get rid of Cersei and the WWs.

Can dragons be poisoned?
Generally you'd expect an army to target the enemy's leader. Jamie definitely stands out, in his white horse and fancy armor. But then, Tyrion is clearly internally conflicted and may have emphasized destroying the wagon train rather than leadership. It's kind of like how Tyrion lashed out at the inanimate Casterly Rock. So I have less concern about Jamie surviving the battle.
One complaint I do have is the Dothraki have lost all individuality and are now just window dressing. Earlier in the series they were individual warriors, now they are just a horde. I wish they had elevated a few of the Dothraki warrior in the same way Grey Worm kind of stands in for the Unsullied as a whole.

I feel like the inevitable thing to happen will be him dying while killing Euron.

They are living things, so most likely yes.
What scene(s)?
Keep wondering how they will reveal Jon's lineage to Danny. Has to be through one of the Dragons.

Dumbest complaint I've seen that week.
Got well known actors playing people but a singer's face takes you out of it?

Vanity Fair does recaps and articles on every episode with lots of gifs that will jog your memory if you forgot, for example, that time LF said "Chaos is a ladder".

Bronn is going to die at the hands of one of the Lannister brothers after he's made to kill the other one by another party.
Dragons wearing armor... lol.
I'd say for more fulfilling conversations, offer critiques that are more than simple contrivances that a child can understand and offer something a bit meatier.
I study dragon biology and they definitely can't be.
Just kidding. Who knows. Cersei should consider it anyway.
And I dunno who was saying those ballistas are useless. Get enough of them and the dragons are no longer safe. It proved it can wound a dragon enough to make it not as effective. Dany now knows this. Her trump card now is no longer as flawless as she thought. If that ballista hit the right spot Drogon would be dead. I kinda wish we didn't see drogon in the preview. I thought he would succumb to his wounds. Still might.
Why lol? Not only would it be smart but it would look badass as fuck.

Unless Dany can dress her dragons herself I cannot imagine them allowing anyone to put armor on them. Even with her there they're not the most docile of creatures.
Edit: Plus I doubt armor is going to protect them. I mean, if all it took was a weapon that can pierce metal to also pierce dragon hide and bone then they wouldn't have had to make such a big deal out of the whole thing. Plating is pretty easy to pierce. If anything it'd just reduce their mobility to make them easier to hit.
Sthop!

Make no mistake about it, Cersei will get one more big win before she bites the dust. Something truly devastating.

Id like Dany in some armour and wearing some kind of riding gear. Coupled with the CGI, she looks so weird riding the dragon.
