Game Of Thrones: Season 8

[Yank]

If I stopped enjoying it, I would stop watching.

I don’t expect people to have the same view as me at all, I just find it strange that people have moaned about it for a few seasons now yet still watch it. People log on early hours of the morning to tell everyone how terrible it is, yet they still watch it the following week. Baffles me. It’s finished next week anyway, so everyone will be happy

Well these things called time zones exist. I often post early in the morning but it's like 11 PM my time.

Didn't think the Daenyrs mad turn was all that rushed.

It's been a long journey of constant pressure, loss and betrayal since season 1 and things have cranked up further in the space of a shorter time since she landed in Westeros. Finally she's within walking distance of the Iron Throne and then the bells start ringing....couldn't that just be the trigger that unleashes all that emotion and pent up hatred?

A slide into madness isn't done in even steps on a predetermined scale. It's pressure, pressure, pressure and then the smallest thing can then tip the balance.

I think there should have been that small thing that tipped her over, maybe one more arrow just missing her before she went crazy...she just had a look around and carried on lol

[micknick]

No Mick, she is not.

I think that was a metaphor?!

Perhaps the biggest issue with dany going mad is that she didn't have to go mad. The obvious label of it destroyed her character arc.

If they had her westeros for longer, as a side character in the background being ignored / disrespected / hail king John etc then her flipping would have been the better for it. As she was leaving an impression on them all rather than just going mad.

No it was a plastic one mate.

 

[micknick]

No it was a plastic one mate.

I dont understand this

Glad you enjoyed it.

With the dragon though, do you not think it was inconsistent the way the Dragons have struggled for effectiveness at certain times throughout the series and then last episode the one Danerys was on was untouchable?

Even after she was caught by surprise the week earlier and one died, she would have been raging and would have found a way to destroy Euron's fleet within 10 mins. Obviously they have to create scenes that excite the viewer so wanted to wait, but I just hate the inconsistency of the dragons being powerless some weeks and then on the recent episode, it was suddenly invincible.

Honestly no mate.
First time: She had just lost a dragon and went to attack, and was caught on the hop, every arrow was aimed at her because they were hunting her and she had no chance, so she ran when the bolts all started coming her way.

Second time: she came down and caught the Iron Fleet by surprise, taking out half the fleet before they even started getting their arrows aimed at her, and this time she was moving erratically and fast, it showed repeatedly how slow the catapults were to reposition, so she used their weaknesses.

Likewise when attacking the city itself, as soon as the crossbows were in position and fired the first bolt she climbed and they could not keep up. Prior to that she had been the one getting caught by surprise by the arrows, so not really on that first point.

As for the power of the dragon, it was about as powerful as the previous time a dragon attacked a normal army... (Jamie Lanisters army)... so not really inconsistent for me. It's not like the dragons have struggled to kill people in the past, then are suddenly super strong, they tend to make a mess of everything whenever she says drakarus or whatever it is says..

Simply put, when that fleet was already aiming at her and she was caught by surprise, she had no chance, however when the fleet was caught by surprise, it went the other way. Makes sense to me.

When did you think they were ineffective EFC? Maybe in the night battle they were not particularly game changers, but that was purely about the numbers, they killed loads to be fair, it just didn't make a difference.

She didn't actually go mad though mate, she realised the Jon was going to win the love side of the argument, so she needed to go with the fear side of the argument... I think she probably succeeded.

Your a soldier... Two leaders about to go to battle, which do you go with?
On one hand, Danearis sits on a dragon in front of a burning city she had just massacred with an army of unsullied Dothraki and no remorse for killing a million civilians and their unarmed army...

On the other, Jon, doing his, someone stole my favourite ice cream and now I am going to sulk face.

Who would you tip to win?

She had to make a statement... done.

She has always been about the throne, she was forced into taking it in a way she didn't want to, but told Jon not to say anything to his sisters, if he had done that, she could of ruled without the bloodshed.
