I predicted everything - Varys, Evil Dany, Cleganebowl, and now Jon will kill Dany and take the black (again). Someone stupid gets the Iron Throne.
Euron fights Jamie... who cares?
So po’d that they turned my favourite show into a nonsensical, meaningless pile of poo.
But, hey, maybe I’ll feel differently tomorrow. It was nicely shot for the most part.
Euron fighting Jamie for bragging rights in a "meaningless squabble" fight is the most Euron thing ever. Especially with the show version of the character. I mean did you see his dying moment? Lol.
No. The wildfire is green and you could see it in some shots.
But it was quite clear her dragon fire was making the stone inexplicably explode and it had nothing to do with wildfire.
Anyways, that’s the least awful thing about that turd of an episode. Worst of the series and really a series defining moment of awfulness. This show truly is beyond redemption.
Now we get to see the real D&D. You know, the guys who wrote Xmen Origins Wolverine. This episode made that movie look good. Correction only 1 of the Ds wrote that movie.

Well, you've made your feelings clear. The door is right there if you have nothing but bitching to offer.
I'm surprised to read people being disappointed by that episode. I thought it was the best of the season so far. The cleganebowl was a touch too dramatic for me, as was Arya with the white horse, but overall I thought that episode hit it out of the park. It delivered on so many points and showed the horror of the consequences of war and of power unchecked. It was terrible, but terrible in a way that showed what happens when internal rage is allowed free in a world unstructured by a sense of morality.

My god, some of you folks are hard to please. I thought that was an epic nail-biter from start to finish, with some terrific character moments mixed in (Hound/Arya, Jaime/Tyrion, Jaime/Cersei, Cleganebowl).
Excellent episode IMO. Easily my favorite of the season so far.

I thought it was a great episode. Not much more to say, other than I feel bad for The Hound. His brother was really already dead. And he died for nothing. I wonder if Cersie would have made it out if The Hound had never showed up?
I loved it. I absolutely loved the part where Cersei was all like 'I'ma just scootch by you guys here...' and then Cleganeball commenced. Brilliant. I get why people are upset with Dany's arc, but she's been heading this way for a while now. Grief pushed her over the edge. I just hope she doesn't decide to fly up and torch Winterfell too. I can't ####ing wait for next episode.

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.

I felt like that episode had all the emotional impact and gravitas of a Transformers movie. The main characters have become something less than 2D somehow, let alone the intelligent decision-makers of earlier seasons.
The show is ending as a story about a girl with a dragon who burns everything down because she isn’t loved. Yeahhhh

I’m sorry if my thoughts on the show are too much for you to handle right now.
I mean you're clearly prodding for a rise, but nope. Just hoping you miiiight just go and make this discussion flow better without needing to sift through your moaning.
At least Alta said his piece then left. Sensible, despite his stance.

I thought pretty much everything in there was consistent with everything that was built up about the characters throughout the whole series. This was the climax, and it was messy but delivered on almost every character and their internal strengths and weaknesses.

Edit: lol okay Alta didn't leave after all.
Nah.... but hey.... I’ll leave the thread for tonight to the “true” fans I guess.

It's not that true fans are the ones still enjoying it. But can you discuss it from a slightly more impartial place? Surely not everything in the 6 or so hours of content you've seen has been straight garbage.
How would you have done the episode differently in how events unfolded if you were in charge? See, that's something I'm more interested in hearing than just spewing dissatisfaction all over everybody else.
Cause then we could have an interesting back and forth about that and what could have been more effective.
I want to believe that CP can have more productive conversations than the masses around social media that love to moan about everything. There are bright people in here that are better than that.
