To be fair, falling in love with Ravven sounds like a good way to turn gay.

Or get your dick to rot off.

I'm terrible at remembering things but probably when he took over the Three Eyed Raven gig. Or maybe it's kinda like a passive thing where he just sees shit in his head all the time.

His first full experience but he saw multiple pieces of visions a while before that. Kids play fighting in winterfell, the first white walker being created, etc.

Euron Greyjoy's '1,000 ships' is a massive 'Game of Thrones' plot hole
750,000 trees, tens of thousands of men and 15+ months to make a 1000 ships...

Don't leave out that those ships would each need a crew of 30 or so . Thats bigger than most Westeros Armies.

Also massive food/water/supply stores. Since they are iron armored, massive amounts of smiths as well. Oh and sails, which could be the women knitting away. Looking at hundreds of thousands of people for the effort. Then again Westeros has like 40 million people in all so the people is not the iffy part. It really comes down to time and the trees.

Deus ex Marina ?

Missandei not knowing what a bastard is was retarded. Particularly as her main job is being a translator, she'd have heard that word before now.

She can know the word, but it doesn't mean you understand it fully based on your culture. Kind of like the word/practice of inemuri in Japan. It is basically someone taking a napping on the job/in public, but they view it as a sign of a person being overworked vs. lazy. You can know what its cultural context is, but you may still view it differently based on your own culture.

This is my lone breaking gripe of all of the nitpicks that have been posted/talked about (because frankly this one is no nitpick, it's glaring as hell). They killed off Psycho the II in season 6, and they needed a new Ramsey/Joffery, I get it, but they didn't have 2+ seasons for his torture porn. So they rushed out Euron, and it has completely backfired. Personally if they absolutely had to have a new psycho to hate, they should have just used an existing character. But in the end, all of the other wait a minute moments are easy enough to overlook, but this one is just too much, and I know he's going to play a major role in the final battles to come, so it's going to be pretty painful.

What's funny is they could of just avoided the 1000 ships thing by putting more emphasis on how OP The Silence really is.

But I could also see the show runners shooting it down by being like "well Euron is a very mysterious figure, but he is also very full of life and is a real character, so when he said build me 1000 ships he was exaggerating and said it in jest the real number is probably 100".

Honestly, I am a little annoyed by how badly they screwed up the Euron plot line when the book provided everything they needed to make the events they wanted work but not be ridiculous.

In the books he is addicted to shade of the evening (the blue/purple stuff the warlocks drink) and it is rumored that he has captured and enslaved several Warlocks allowing him to magically gain advantages in seamanship.

Just make that the reality for the show. Rather than make him some goofball with one-liners to show how "omg crazy" he is, just show those rumors being a reality. Show the captured Warlocks, show him using them along with blood magic/rituals to create unnaturally favorable storms/winds. Show him callously capturing and sacrificing innocents (women and children) for those rituals. It isn't that complicated.

That would show him as deeply and disturbingly evil (especially if he personally partakes in gruesome blood magic rituals). It would also allow him to foil Daenerys' and Tyrion's plans without making them look like strategic fools (especially Tyrion) which is out of character. Have some comment in a planning meeting about how they know his fleet is at X location so he can't possibly get to Y in time, so they make a strategic blunder by him showing up there when it should have been impossible. We the audience know how it happened so it feels logical, but at the same time it foils Tyrion without making him look uncharacteristically inept. It would also add to his mystique in the eyes of the Daenerys contingent, which can be used later in the plot.

I mean, ffs, I came up with that in like 5 minutes and it wasn't hard. It isn't perfect but it is better than what we got.
