Tyrion will point to Bronn and be like "He used to work for me", and Daenerys will be like "Fucking shit dude, how is it that you have a history with every guy we meet?"

Not really related to this ep., but I re-watched Euron's attack scene with the music from the "claasic" below playing. Surprisingly effective...

Not that I like cheap gags, but I would love it if Dickon has to introduce himself and we see Dany, Tyrion, and whomever else trying to fight back laughter.

Why So Blu?

Instruments of Destruction.

Bill Needle

I would like to introduce my vewy gweat fwiend Lickon Dickon. He commands a cwack legion and wanks has high as any in the Weach.

Supermallet

I'm surprised at how many people were genuinely torn between Jaime/Bronn and Dany/Drogon. I hope Dany roasts the Lannisters.

windom

Well, I was definitely hoping that Bronn would have killed that dragon so I guess I was rooting against Dany.

karoomba

I thought I saw papa Tarly melting away. He was the soldier who was standing and took off his helmet while on fire.
Anybody else think it was him? He was clearly around during the start of the attack.

OldBoy

that would be so cool if Jaime and Tyrion encountered one another again. i mean it is his brother who saved his life...

would also love to see a nice Jorah/Dany reunion...

Nefarious

Yes, it certainly appeared to be the elder Tarly to me.

I swear to god if this nuclear annihilation happens before the finale is shown, a lot of people are going to be pissed!

rocket1312

Ugh. Put me in the camp who think Dany is the worst. And while I certainly understand why people like the dragons, I've never totally understood why some get SO excited about them.

james2025a

I am with the Dany is the worst camp. The character has always felt entitled and got where she has without actually having to do much at all. Committing suicide only to find you are impervious to fire. Having three pet dragons. Other characters have really been put through the ringer and are justified in having revenge and a happy ending. Dany not so much.

Yeah, i would actually love for her to get killed, but at this point it seems impossible as it would piss off the masses.

rocket1312

I think Dany has had her fair share of trouble. Season 1 pretty much sucked for her, not to mention everything that happened in the lead up. I still don't like her though. My favorite parts of this season have been every time Jon refuses to "bend the knee." I will admit that a big part of it is Emilia Clarke. Can't say I'm a fan.

DaveyJoe

I liked Dany in the books but Emilia is probably the weakest actor on the show and her delivery often feels clunky and forced. The show has cut out all of the vulnerable and nuanced moments that helped balance out her stubborn characteristics in the books, so she's lacking depth and makes it harder to be invested in her character. Not to mention she's flirting with some Mad Queen tendencies and it's kind of a downer to see an army of people set on fire by a beast they don't stand a chance against. I was definitely rooting for Jaime and Bronn, especially since Dany destroyed the food supplies she admitted she needed just a couple minutes prior.

Why So Blu?

This scene makes me laugh.




I also think there was a Rickon but Jaime killed him in an earlier season.

OldBoy

She was sold, by her brother, and I believe raped and shunned by the Dothraki for some time. I think she's been through stuff...

Supermallet

Dany's definitely been through some shit. Don't see how a person could watch this show from the beginning and think otherwise. And most of the time she doesn't use dragons to get out of it.

OldBoy

Yeah, I think this was the first time she used them in battle. She intimadated, burned a few folks, but nothing yet on this scale. I do think Drogon's wound might be worse then it looked...

fumanstan

She basically just gave a whole speech about all the shit she went through too.

Bill Needle

I thought it might be as well but I was watching with others who get annoyed when I rewind to re-watch something.

And wasn't he supposed to be the great military strategist of the Lannister side? His death would likely change the conduct of the war. Also it would put Dickon in charge of the Tarlys, and they are playing him up to be a decent guy.

LurkerDan

You're not watching the same show we are, it seems?

This I agree with, generally, not a fan of the actress. And no doubt she has a little Mad Queen in her, that's surely the point, Mad Queen vs Mad Queen. That said, I was definitely rooting against Cersei, which (sort of) means against Jamie and Bronn.

Decker

I know she said that, and at the time I was thinking : When was she raped? I don't recall that at all. She got married to someone she didn't know and he consummated the marriage brutally but she came to love him and I don't recall another non-consensual sexual encounter though the soon-to-be burned-to-a crisp Dothraki leaders certainly planned on taking turns on her in the widow's hut.

And speaking of that : I do wonder how she managed to win the lifetime loyalty of thousands of fierce warriors raised for generations in a Patriarchal society simply by burning up all their chieftains. I get that they might be in awe of her and fear her, but conflagration murder of all one's leaders by immolation doesn't normally engender fierce devotion, even with demonstration of unique fireproofing abilities.

LurkerDan

Are you suggesting that the sex that first time was consensual because she was forcibly married to him?

Decker

I'd have to watch the scene, but I don't think it was a rape scene in the same way Sansa was. The fact that she actively sought out and learned the skills of love-making and falls deeply in love with Khal Drogo would confirm that. In either case, we are not talking about a politically-correct sociological description of that event in the context of "what is consent?". Dany herself mentions getting raped -- clearly she isn't speaking about her wedding night with Drogo.
