    So can Bran just warg into Cersei and have her jump off a cliff or what? Seems like a pretty simple solution.

    Like we say, No.

    Thank you for sharing. I took one quarter of military history at UW so I knew enough about attack tactics/defensive fortifications to cringe at good guys’ battle plan...I can only imagine how painful it must’ve been for current/former professional armed forces personnel (TYFYS).

    Having a calvary charge at night was absurd, but I just assumed everybody hated the Dothraki and so it was an addition by subtraction racism kind of move.

    Comparing this last episode against the Battle of the Bastards one is a perfect example of how this show went to shit.

    Can't wait for new episode tonight.

    The first half of this episode felt like fan-fiction. Jamie and Brienne of Tarth sleeping together? Gendry legitimized and made lord of Storms End...then proposing to Arya? OK!

    Of course Jon told his sisters about being the true heir to the throne. He’s the poster child of being honorable to a fault. You know who else had that as their defining attribute? Ned Stark. How did that work out for him? Remember, Melisandre isn’t around to bring you back from the dead anymore. And fuck you for sending Ghost to a farm upstate up North to live with the Wildlings. CGI budget that tight HBO?

    I miss the old Tyrion.

    I miss old Bronn too for that matter. I like to think he’s not that stupid to believe he’d be made lord of Highgarden.

    Thank you Varys for not only seeing Dany is probably no longer the horse you want to back, but for finally vocalizing aloud she’s Jon Snow’s aunt!

    Atta girl Missandei for going out like a boss though.

    Missandei should of wrapped her chains around Cersei and hopped off the platform. Sansa thought about pushing Joffrey off in season 2, but the writing has gone to shit since then

    Well guys... while skimming through the posts of this thread, you have completely sapped me of any desire to watch this series anymore. I was one episode into season 7.

    Another bullshit episode from the writers that can't wait to just phone in this show and end the fucking thing already.

    That Iron Born v Dragon scene was particularly awful. Three straight hits with a ballista against a dragon flying at 100 mph from presumably a mile away. But then after that absurd display of accuracy, the remaining 20 shots all miss with the dragon flying directly toward the fleet. I'll suppress the book nerd side of me that's also pissed that the books specifically mentioned that dragon scales are too hard to penetrate with ballistas.

    And fucking Christ, has Dany's army heard of scouts, or at least not bunching up all 20 of her ships so their vulnerable to getting obliterated in literal seconds? The writers have turned Dany's army into literal retards in order to move the plot along to what's bound to be its underwhelming conclusion.

    Just euthanize this fucking show already.

    Last week's episode was pretty solid without picking about some of the dumbfuck moves...lots of carnage and dying and shit. But this week's episode was ca-ca. Shit. Poo. Just fucking ridiculous.

    Ain't no way the Kingslayer is bedding down Brianne of Tarth. Not gonna happen. Dude nails no less than 8's. Maybe a 7 if really really really drunk. Would have been way better to have the midget Tyrion and the giant Brianne hooking up. That's believable. Or maybe Arya and the Kingslayer rolling around after some grog - pretty sure her maiden voyage was less than satisfying and Jaimie knows his way around the magic triangle. Ice Kingslayer and the Kingslayer could pop out some nasty assassin babies, too.

    And the fuck with the head-on charge by the dragons? All they fucking needed to do was swoop around and attack from the rear (life tip there for those paying attention). Just send all those fucking ships up in flames. No, instead Danny does a full-frontal raid and loses one of the only remaining decent parts of the show. Dumb bitch.

    There's also only like, what, 3 episodes left. When is Sansa going to bust out the perkies and lock up the Iron Throne. And, quite frankly, who's left for her to hook up with in an alliance? Danny's already fucking her own nephew so is it that big of stretch to think Sansa may bust out one of Cersai's tricks and enchant Jon Snow with a trip down the Hershey Highway incest-style?!?

    So much disappointment this season. Shit.
