This is more Rock territory. Next up, Scorpion King.
Has anyone else noticed how Bran sounds like any member of Pink Floyd in any interview from the early 60’s. Vocal tone and facial expression. Perhaps they are working plans to build another wall?

The unsullied would probably make good cheap labour. All in all, they’ve got no dick and no balls.
I don’t think there are many unsullied left - most of them died defending “the trench that wouldn’t light”
Has no one watched it yet?!
Didn't see that dragon getting offed!!!
First half was verging on slapstick, then classic GoT shenanigans at the end. We absolutely loved it!

Saw this coming a mile off. The Lannisters has a bloody big crossbow when she last fought them. If anything the military ineptitude of team Daeny is getting on my nerves. Firstly the send their entire mounted cavalry (looked like a few thousand) in on the walkers without a clue what they were facing and got trounced then this week she sends her ships and two dragons right up to kings landing without even a hint of a recce to see if there was a trap waiting.... FFS. She could have flow just one of her Dragons really high over kings landing a viewed the enemy and known exactly where the ships were waiting. But no... just pile right in and get another beating.
She’s bloody useless and so are her commanders and got what she deserves.
Aye they’ve had those crossbows for ages I guess Daeny missed that episode.
Wasn’t too bad but again like the first 2 dragged out. Still there seems to a Starbucks there which is nice.
That was boring. The hostage thing was ridiculous. The accuracy of the anti-aircraft fire was a joke - first dragon got three direct hits. Has anyone involved in the writing actually tried shooting a moving target?
Are dragons difficult to hit. I found pigeons quite easy and dragons seem a bit bigger so can’t be too bad.

With a crossbow when they're flying?
They were over dragonstone when the dragon got hit. Not kings landing.
Rhaegal,the dragon that was hit, was the one that was injured in the last episode. Would have been a slower target.
No one commanded the dothraki cavalry to charge when they all died. They were hyped up after Mel set their weapons on fire and went for it on their own.
But they definitely could have done a recce first with the dragons flying out really high out of range.
Would have been a slower target.
They were flying in formation, so going at the same speed.
With a crossbow when they’re flying?
Pssst! It’s not real.
Well that was meh.
The feast at the start was great to see all the characters interacting, but where did they all come from given that it appeared 99% of Winterfell was munched on in the last episode? And they all appear fine that the night before they'd just fought an overwhelming horde of zombies from their worst nightmares and seen most of their friends and family die, and then be resurrected and try to kill them.
Then Dany failing to spot an entire fleet until her dragon was killed by 3 surface to air missiles..
And then the parley at kings landing was just stupid and out of character. Cersei could have happily killed Dany and her leadership on the spot, along with the dragon that was just chilling in front on a bunch of balistas and ended the war there and then, it's not like she would pass up an opportunity to do that..
The writing this season is awful. So many plot holes and time jumps, main character armour etc. Still going to see it until the last episode , but it really feels like they are just rushing it to get it wrapped up.
Tough crowd! I think what some folk really need to remember......it's not real!
As long as you remember it’s “not” a true story you’ll enjoy it more 😉
I enjoyed it, not as much as last week, but still great.
Hell of a time hop at the break though, one min they’re all half drowning on the beach, next they’re having a conflab with Cersi.
2 episodes left, Cersi falls next week, then the in-fighting to see who gets the throne?
So cool that there are so many dragon fighting military experts on here, I’m mega impressed.
Dragon queen will die next week and leave Jon snow to avenge her for the throne in the last episode.
Nope, Dragon Queen will go full mad Targaryen and obliterate King's Landing next week. Jon arrives afterwards and is reluctantly forced to compete with her for the throne.
Heavy handed foreshadowing of Jon's death as he left Winterfell? Or just the fact that as king he'll stay in the south?
Lots of people being given reasons to want to kill Cersi face to face. All going a bit Line Of Duty...
Agree the pacing is just weird. Lots of time wasted talking, etc. and then sudden time jumps to move the narrative on.
Still watching though.
Drac... Funny you should post that...
Tormund and Ghost, i'd watch the crap out of that
Drac… Funny you should post that…
I reckon it’s a fake pic.
Next week will definitely be the mad Queen firing up the King's Landing BBQ, but which Queen will Eggon be facing off against in the final episode?
Little to disagree with in the criticisms above. There was ample opportunity for death this episode, and we saw only one. In earlier series these opportunities would have been gloriously taken!
Daenerys and Jon are too obvious, I think it might be Arya who will be queen, there were a few hints seeded tonight
And why no close up of the be-heading? They've gone soft.

they wanted to show Greyworms reaction - got a feeling he'll have a big part to play in the last few eps... just gutted we didnt get to see her bristols again!!
i really hope that slimey prick who is cersei's hand meets a particularly violent demise!!
Wasn't too bad as an episode, the dragon died a bit easily but probably better than Euron having a dragon horn and taking control of them.
I like that Varys finally has a speaking part again and it's setting things up for a big rift at the end but with only a couple of episodes left and presumably at least one of them having a big battle I wish they'd have had more episodes otherwise they're bound to rush a lot of stuff.
The whole castle ramparts thing was a bit lame, pretty sure the Cersei of old would have made Tyrion a porcupine at the end to
haha yeah Drac funny you should post that. Wooooosh!
GoT do have a history of making errors
😁
yeah, she looked very smug/confident so maybe felt she didn’t have to, but a volley from the ballistas would’ve finished it there & then!!The whole castle ramparts thing was a bit lame, pretty sure the Cersei of old would have made Tyrion a porcupine at the end to
It’s not looking like it’ll end well between Jon & Dani now!
The baristas could have ended it even sooner.
Ah yes Sir Americano of house Barista, think he died at the red wedding actually.
Who's going to survive for the money making a spin offs
^^^ The first spin off is set back in the past, before even the first dragons
Yeah I guess Bran is trying to get himself into a spin off by saying he lives mostly in the past now. Seriously though if he doesn't do anything important in the last couple of episodes wtf was the point in him as a character? Even Sam discovered the big R+L=J revelation on his own. Imagine if he could warg into crows and scout ahead of the fleet/army and help prevent ambushes pfft, I expect he's too busy being a teenage boy going into the past and perving on people.
First half, good bantz innit.
But.
The weapons grade military ineptitude is requiring just a little too much suspension of disbelief now. Weak point of the series for me.
Also, I just typed "how far can a ballista shoot" into google, and the top result - wiki - says 450m (with an effective accurate range of less), so that really doesn't make it very useful to take out a flying thing which can easily get beyond cloud base. I appreciate that physics in general kind of ceases to apply with flying things the size of an elephant from which breathe fire, but, the rest of the world seems to operate on normal sorts of weights and measures.
Cersei being capricious and deciding to make a show of the execution, can believe, but, struggle to credit her character wouldn't follow it up by sticking the remaining dragon with pointy sticks though, thus guaranteeing an easier fight.
Disappointed in Bran, who sees everything, not being able to see anything particularly helpful. If he's so bladdy useless, why was the Night King so interested in him?
