I think you're implying some foreshadowing, but even in this show I can't see how that would come to happen.
Euron, Casterly Rock, Dragons v. Lannisters -- more battles but less episodes, worth it? Not sure yet.

If there's a way to take that shot of Dracarys flying left to right, burning the fuck out of everything in sight, and turn it into a gif that I can use as a wallpaper, please someone let me know.
The invulnerability frames on those dodges are broken. Bronn better die soon. Maybe Dany gets a little mad and slits his throat next episode.
I thought there was a hint as Joffrey mentioned the dagger in passing, but I may be mistaken.

Going by the other siblings, he'll probably shrug and give an awkward hug. Make a crack about needle, and a pat on the shoulder.
Bran throwing Littlefinger's line in his face might have been my favorite part of the episode. Bran redeemed!
Just wait until we get that Davos/Rickon team up in Winds of Winter

Turns out incest is a wifi blocker. He can't see anything that happens around the Lannisters or Tarygarans.
Ok, so I guess this is what they were holding back on the other action sequences this season for. Field of fire was legit great, and had a really solid back and forth of who seemed to be in danger. It also did a pretty good job of putting the viewer firmly on the Lannister side in the fight, further building the theme of Dany maybe not being the greatest, after six seasons of Dany as savior. And for all the shit it got before, they did a good job of having the ballista feel actually threatening when Bronn was using it.
Also, the AryaBrienne duel was really great. Arya is kind of a cartoon hero at this point, but it worked. And Bran continued to be suitably creepy. They seemed to be rolling back the horror elements of his plot in previous seasons, with all the cannibalism and whatnot omitted, but they seem to be diving headfirst into the idea that Bran's journey wasn't a positive one now with this notion that Bran as we knew him died in that cave.
I hardly even count Casterly Rock. That was the sort of scene that could have happened in any season. Greyjoy naval battle felt like they had the money for it, thanks to the episode cut, the director just flubbed it. But between the sea battle, field of fire, and whatever the beyond the Wall stuff later in the season is, it's definitely clear that the budget went towards something with the episode cut. Though I really wish more of it had gone towards making the set design for Highgarden and Casterly Rock more impressive, even though they each only got a scene. Dreary Dragonstone comes off like a more luxurious castle than either because of the focus it got.

it felt too good
The weird thing in the show is that the dagger is Littlefinger's. I don't see how that ever made sense, unless he lied about being the owner in season 1, for some reason.
That was incredible, made up for the last two snoreworthy episodes and first half of this one.
Legit thought Bronn would take out a dragon. At least Dany knows that's a thing to look out for now.
The thing that elevated the dragon scene, aside from it being something we've been waiting for for six plus seasons, is the way they showed the bodies being so immediately burnt that they were just becoming heaps of ash, showing how dragonfire isn't just fire.

Some minor quibbles for sure, but this season is delivering on fanservice and long-awaited moments so hard, that I find it impossible not to enjoy, especially an episode like this. Seeing a screaming horde of Dothraki completely body a Westerosi army has been a long time coming. Glad to see that at least one over-hyped, super elite fighting force can live up to it's reputation.
I need to stop watching the Behind The Episode things, though. Too many times have they had the showrunners explaining some thing they thought the scene was conveying that was just not clear to me at all.

this show is kinda crap without original source material.
jamie and bron should have died this episode. would have added a layer of complexity to tyrion's character.

Was Tarly that bald Lannister that was on fire?
Yea, I was convinced Bronn was basically going to be GRRM's homage to Bard. It makes sense that wasn't the case, but I thought he was going to go there.

I was thinking about Sharpe too.
Would've been perfect for this! Jaime or Tarly could've reassured the men that as long as they kept the shields and spears up that the Dothraki horses wouldn't complete the charge. ...then Drogon's napalm breaks their ranks and the Dothraki push in. Rest of the battle could continue as shot from there.

It's been a while, but I thought it WAS Littlefinger's. He bet it on the Tourney on Joffrey's nameday before the books started, and lost it to Robert, when Robert bet on Loras instead of Jaime.
Littlefinger lies to Catlyn and says he lot it betting with Tyrion. Tyrion however would never bet against Jaime. He tells Caylyn that, but I don't think she believed him (it was before Tyrion's trial in the Aery).
No, he said it was his in the show, butbwas won off of him by Tyrion.

Funny how everyone's calling Dany the Mad Queen now and she needs to be stopped, lol. She needed a big fat W after all those Ls. Burn 'em all.

Fuuuuck that was a good battle. The stakes were intense. Lots of payoff for setups. Amazing shots.
Littlefinger looks afraid of Arya.

I don't want to believe it but thats exactly the kind of grotesque random death they love to throw around in this show.

There is a lot to digest. I think Tyrion watching down from the cliff side while the Dothraki and a fucking Dragon decimated an entire army like it was nothing will play a big role in the next episodes (telegraphed by the comment from one of the Dothraki to him "Your people don't know how to fight).
Im guessing Jorah will be used to bring Danny back from the edge she is probably in right now. Her family history might be catching up to her.

Incredible episode. I've been down on this season but that was amazing. Been waiting for dragon battles and dothraki v. Lannisters for years. Incredible.
Also, did Jon and Davos scribble those cave drawings themselves in order to persuade Danny? Lol

And I especially liked what that says about what she is doing. The look of horror on Jaime's face when he looked at his army dying kind of was saying "she's kind of fuck up rite?"
She burned all the food with them too, right after complaining about Cersei hogging about all the food.
Jon prolly shaking his head.

He should be. One word from Bran about Neds betrayal and he's dead. There's nowhere in the seven kingdoms he can hide from my girl. Sansa has suffered for her naivety. He hasn't yet.

Dany lack so much charisma and has consistently been the worst main character on this show.
I'm tired of this show bending over backwards to make her seem important when she's had the least interesting story through the entire series.

That final ten minutes was the first part of the show I ever rewatched immediately after.
The last couple of minutes were insane. I originally thought Jaime was trying to finish off the dragon, not Dany.

Yeah, I saw. She's going to get pulled back though, I doubt they're going to make her another Cersei. It's just for tension.

I'm actually reading his books right now and though: not even those armies would be able to withstanding against dragons.

From rewatching, it's pretty clear Bronn didn't even get touched. The fire missed him before he dove, and it grazed the surface when he went under.
It would have been an amazing moment if he had been incinerated saving Jaime though.

It would feel cheap if Jaime and Bronn both survive though. I mean, they are both fun characters played by great actors, but there should be some consequence for Jaime stupidly charging a fucking dragon

He thought he had a chance to take out Daenarys and end the war. Like Tyrion said, he's a fucking idiot. Brave, but an idiot.
In the show, Jaime never even came clean about it.
No, it isn't revealed.. Tyrion also doesn't say that he killed Joffrey. They part on good terms.
Lord of Castamere

In the show they left on pretty good terms, and now Jamie knows that Tyrion didn't didn't kill Joff. Tyrion shouldn't want him to die at all right now.
