GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

I'm curious what they're going to do with Jaime, I mean he's right there in the water and tried to kill their queen, I feel like the chances of them not diving in and taking him as a prisoner is extremely low. Then again it is Dothraki and they probably don't know how to swim.

I just wonder if they're going to do a Jaime/Tyrion switcheroo where Tyrion has to be the one to break him out of prison this time.

I was expecting Jaime to die there, would have been a good callback to him killing the Mad King and trying to sacrifice himself to end the war and save countless others would have been a fitting end to his redemption arc. Tyrion would have seen it happen for dramatic effect.

So much plot armor this time around. Bronn was in danger from the Dothraki rider, but has a lucky last minute escape. Dany and her dragon in danger when they get shot, but they land safely and are okay. Bronn in danger again from dragon fire, but he ducks away at the last second. Dany in danger again from Jamie's charge, but she escapes because someone rescues Jamie from his certain death. GoT never shied away from killing off characters to move the story ahead in unexpected directions and I think that is what drew most of us to it. We got so much spectacle now, but no drama.

With how hard they were telegraphing Jon and Dany's attraction (him leading her by the hand in the cave, Davos' "lol you looked at her tits" remark) I'm pretty much convinced that they'll resolve his refusal to bend the knee by having them marry and "rule together". I always thought it was far too obvious for it to happen, but I'd bet money on it at this point.

First scene next episode is Bronn dragging Jamie from the water on the other side of the lake, and them running the fuck away.

Also was Dany really burning all the food wagons just before Winter... did she not need it?

Man it's really disappointing how this story shifted from that political intrigue to whatever the fuck it is we have now.

That speech is fucking amazing, but now that character has been relegated to a fucking "creepy uncle" stereotype. I remember reading the book threads and we all wondered if Littlefinger would be the one who ended up the most powerful in Westeros. That doesn't even seem like a remote possibility anymore. He's a 3rd tier character.

he IS the most powerful man in westeros, he owns a huge chunk asnd what he doesnt own he has favors from the rest. the show even highlighted this, but they turned him into a fucking retard.

Everyone keeps saying Bronn saved Jamie, but he was sinking in that water with full plate armor on and only one hand. How the fuck is he not going to drown? I won't be surprised if plot armor saves him and Bronn cuts him loose, but I am surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

nah, its not FULL plate. it was basically studded leather armor with a steel breastplate and some other steel sewn into the leather.

episode was very entertaining, but also cringiest of them all. hi creepy bran. im going to just give you this dagger for no reason, even if i do have a reason, it's still fucking stupid i would be giving this to you. hi jon snow, this cave full of dragon glass also has snow elf writing even though the snow elves never saw dragons because targaryens only showed up a few hundrerd years ago. hey we are in the middle of a full on massacre, but let me fool around with my ballista which takes 2 people to work . daeny is indeed a dumb bitch, when she saw the first giant spear whizz by her, she should have backed off and let her fucking army clean up the mess. nope. i'm going to risk everything in my nightgown to take out this one fucking guy. and she doesnt even kill him or jaime. even though both should have been turned to ash. unbelievable bullshit. still fun episode and absolutely blockbuster movie tier level CGI.

Yep, in reality he'd drown. Heavy as fuck 'armored clothing' and a guy who only has one working hand.

But yeah he'll be hauled to the surface by Bronn.

Holy crap though. What a battle.

Yeah, but that's like Mariana Trench levels of water. It's highly unlikely (from my years boating) that you have 1-12 inches of water followed by 25+ feet within a few feet away. As he was sinking you couldn't see the slope of the ground on either side. There was no ground in sight anywhere. That's the only tiny complaint for me this weekend. Loved the episode.

Dragons are alright, but slightly deeper water is WHERE I DRAW THE LINE

Curious that Cersei and Tycho from the Iron Bank mention her hiring the Golden Company which was founded by Blackfyres.

I think people are looking a little too far into the Arya beating Brienne in a sparring match. She certainly showed an incredible amount of skill and development and just might be one of the hardest of all badasses now, but if that was a straight up duel Brienne of Tarth would own Arya pretty badly.

What would be cool is if Brienne trained her like she is the cock God Pod and Arya further improved her capabilities by adding in some knight talents and skills to compliment her water dancing and assassin skill tree.

I think that could be fan service, no way they introduce any new characters or plotlines of any significance this late in the game

Never been to Florida I take it? I'm not even a big water fan, and I can quote dozens of spots like that around here...

Think of a funny caption and gain free Worfs.

If Jamie died there that would have been such a lame end for his character. "Oh shit that big as a dragon is wounded, let me grab that little spear and charge it!".

Like even if he was going for Dany that was incredibly stupid. But he had to live. Now he gets to talk about how he charged a dragon bro for bro and lived to tell the tale.

They also need him to do that pained look where he has to tell Cersei the bad news.

I was thinking the same thing, no way any Lannister troops hang in and fight after the first guys got barbequed. Those fuckers would have been running. I also think tackling Jamie off of a galloping horse is pretty much impossible but what are you gonna do?

Those are just nitpicks though, the scene was awesome. Battle of the Bastards is still my favorite but that was right up there.

They were fucked either way. If they had turned and run, then thousands of cavalry troops would have cut them down. Plus, it wouldn't have been hard to box them in. Drogon flames the point of retreat, EZ way to stop retreat.

They were doomed the second they got ambushed and air support was available.

I thought the same thing man, I was like, 'whoa heroic Bronn save!' then it was all, 'whelp he's fucked in that armor'.

Yeah, but it's scorched earth.

The army in Kings Landing need it too. So.. it's better for no one to have it than for the enemy to have it.
