That was ehh, very cinematic.

Last ep, dany gets scared of like 5 Scorpions and retreats after they have 100% accuracy with their first 3 shots on the other dragon. This ep, its 1 dragon against about 30 Scorpions and not one hits despite her flying in staight lines. Crap, inconsistent writing.

Battle of Winterfell we saw most of the Dothraki die in that stupid initial charge, yet somehow there were several hundred still alive and kicking?

Real G.R.R.M. Cersei would have fired all the Scorpions on the wall at the approaching army the moment they were in range, then had Wildfire blocking their retreat. These Scorpions never fired once at the army.

Dany going mad was a good turn. You could say it was great of Cersei, that if she was going down she was going to make Dany a monster in the process, but Cersei looked so uncharacteristically weak and guileless it seemed more down to sheer stubbornness than any plan.

Most of those who died just kinda felt like they had been concluded and finished with, rather than the shocking 'anyone can die, anywhere' approach we used to get.
 
Seriously, if anyone actually thinks that episode was good then just admit that you think fire is pretty and you like loud noises.......



As a standalone episode, it was decent if stretched a little thin. Some genuinely tense moments and, if the buildup in the last season or two was done right, it could have been an enormous payoff. I liked it, a faint highlight of a very very poor season, but I'll take what I can get
 
Loved this latest episode. There has probably been more action in this final series than pretty much all of the previous series combined. It is what i have always wanted tbh regardless of how the story pans out. Looking forward to the last ever one.
 
Wow

It’s gone pyar Hollywood. The political backstabbing and vying for control has gone right out the window for CGI. It’s far far far to rushed, a couple of the incidents in years gone by would have played out over a couple of episodes and got you gripped. Not anymore, he’s guilty so he’s dead

The horse though lol

 
She should have been slowly going mad over the past 3 seasons, rather than doing it over a couple of episodes... sure some people will point to her killing innocents previously but there was no real narrative based around her gradually going mental, she went from a bit annoyed to full on genocidal maniac in one episode lol

Having said that as lovely as Emilia Clark is, she's not the best of actresses (putting it kindly) and thus I'm not entirely sure she could have pulled it off in a convincing way.
 
Feel like this is getting silly now. I accept that the last two episodes had their issues but they weren't bad episodes by any means. The Bells was certainly an improvement on both... yet the ratings continue to decline?
