Sounds like Cecil was more into the political intrigue of the show. But those first seasons were early in the chess game. Many pieces on the move, lots of thing to set up. But the end game is almost always slanted towards action. And to be honest I really thought this episode did the political stuff great honor.
Dany tried playing the game, went with her original rage after playing the game cost her too much. Her intent was always to destroy it.
Cersei thinking that Dany was playing the game and then refused to acknowledge at every single step that the game didnt matter, Dany was burning it all down.
Tyrion and Varys, two major game players just tossed to the wayside.
Jon caused all this because his truth lies in a kiss that could have changed Danys mind. It didnt.
Honestly as this series came to an end it wasn't going to be a major plot driven thing like seasons prior. There's nowhere left to turn, the only thing left is how the last scene ends. Who will live? Dany? Jon? That's it. There's no more chess to play.
