The articles carefully chronicles how this 'turn' is well within her, but then follows with a whole section titled this |
That pretty much fits how I feel about the episode. What ended up happening does make sense in the grand scheme, and I like it. But I don't like how they got there. That's what's been lacking this season in how they've rushed their storyline. You're not getting the built up context that leads to these events. It's just very suddening and 'forced', rather than developing organically.
What happen to Dany to get to this point is understandable why she would just snap, and it's been hinted time and time again both this season, and previous ones. But the show didn't pull off in making it happen in a convincing fashion. So as a result, the reaction from me isn't as strong or engaging as it should be.
For what was such a brutal and climatic moment, it just felt flat to me. And that falls in line with the season as a whole. The show isn't finishing as strong as you would hope.
