      Also the idea that no one was running Storm's End and that nobody knows who's the lord of one of the seven kingdoms. And we had fans worrying about who would be the lord of bear island after episode 3, when hardcore fans have been wondering who's lord of Strom's End for seasons upon seasons, only to get a meta scene that makes almost no sense within the world

      @HookshotVRM We also have ignorant idiots like you who call people names and assume they don't do anything productive. What do you mean "if you care this much"? How is caring about one of the main things in a story caring too much? How is pointing out stupidity "caring too much"? Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. If we're assuming things then I guess I assume you only watched the show for tits and dragons, and that's pathetic. How is whining about a main castle something to bitch about? Your comment is way less productive than mine. At least I point out actual facts, and reasonable stated ones

      The only reason I can think of for them to have him be a Rivers is if that's supposed to be a nod for his plot in the books. In the books he was knighted as Ser Gendry of the Hollow Hill when he joined the Brotherhood Without Banners, the Hollow Hill being their secret base in the riverlands.

    • @Wolf6119
      @Wolf6119 5 років тому +14

      In the show’s defense (God, never thought I’d be saying that this season lol), there’s a difference between “He doesn’t want to rule” as in “He does not covet power and leadership” vs. “He doesn’t want to rule” as in “He doesn’t want to participate in the duties and responsibilities of ruling”.
      Jon doesn’t seek positions of power or leadership but he does try to rise to the challenge whenever he receives one. Robert, on the other hand, just didn’t want to be bothered with the actual business of leadership.
      If you want to call out Varys for contradicting himself, I would instead recommend focusing on the fact that he claims Jon would be a better ruler than Dany, while also - practically in the same sentence - admitting that Jon is too weak and manipulable and that Dany would walk all over him if they were married. Really selling his qualities as a good leader there, Varys...

      Varys being worried about Dany's state of mind in the beginning of the episode made no sense to me. Console her! Help her! She just lost Jorah, half her army, Rhaegal injured in that battle, and she was attacked by a dragon who was once her 3rd child. She's devastated. Just help her. For fucks sake.

    Personally, I think Sansa breaking her oath was one of the few moments of good writing this episode. She was trained in the art of politics by Little Finger. Of course she values political gain. And she knows Tyrion cares more about morality than loyalty, she saw how he treated Joffrey, who was not only his king but his family. And he’s been constantly shit on by Dany since he got to Winterfell. So she saw an opportunity to plant a seed of doubt in her “enemy’s” closest advisor’s mind.

  • @LukaBlight69
    @LukaBlight69 5 років тому +30

    Man I forgot how many frustratingly stupid decisions these characters made here.
    By legitimizing Gendry, she has made a possible rival to her claim.
    Tyrion is also an idiot here. First 4 seasons he hated his sister, knew who and what she is and yet in these last 2 seasons he's been all amiable with her.
    Jon telling Sansa makes Jon look like a moron. HE KNOWS Sansa does not like Dany. I also don't get why he HAD to tell her.
    Dany should just propose to Jon or vice versa, Yes Jon would be the prominent ruler, but Dany would be the real power much like Margery was to Joffrey and Tommen(Until Cersei fubared it all) or how Tywin was when he was Hand.
    I also don't get why they had to travel separately, go by land where the Ironfleet cannot do anything, nevermind that you're halving the half that you have left, making it easier for Cersei to pick apart what's left.
    I get Dany's desperation in wanting to go south asap, but even she would realize, half my peeps are gone and the half that are left are injured as is my dragon aka my child.
    Cersei killing Missandei was also stupid, she is smart enough to know she'd make for a valuable hostage.
    Edit: And at the end, Cersei has the ace card in her hand, she could have easily killed Dany.

      @akhilnair1137 5 років тому

      How does legitimizing gendry make him her rival ? She legitimized him , a blacksmith from flea bottom. That loyalty has definitely more power . Also
      The whole point of being amiable with cersie is because Tyrion loves Jamie, who loves cersie . He wouldn't want his brother to feel that kind of loss .
      Also jon's bloodline is obviously his family's business and they deserve to know, also he made them swear to not say it out , which is a royal promise , so that's Sansa's fault .
      Also unlike margery , dany wants to rule the seven kingdoms while sitting on the iron throne , because even though margery could manipulate rulers , the final decision would always be in the king's hand .
      The title of queen of the realm matters to her .
      Also travel by land ? Are you nuts ? Kings landing is right in the way if you travel by land , making it much more dangerous , and dragonstone is an island , so they had to travel by water nonetheless and the iron fleet would've been waiting for them anyways .
      So you so understand Dany's desperation and still question her desperate behavior ?
      Also why would cersie use missandei as hostage ? To blackmail the queen to end the war ? You're the one dumb if you think that was ever working .

      1- No. She is legitimizing Gendry as a form to control him.
      2- Agreed
      3- To be fair, Jon is a moron. He is known for making bad decisions and he also told Sansa hoping that she wouldn't tell anybody.
      4- Dany wouldn't have proposed to Jon cos she didn't want to share power. The throne is hers and hers alone. And Jon pretty much became disgusted after learning Dany was her aunt.

      Tyrion should know more than anyone that Cersei is duplicitous and not to be trusted. He likely would not want her killed, but he would want her defeated and imprisoned.
      Yes, however even Jon knew Sansa did not want Dany as a queen and by telling her this he gave her the ace in the hole to turn the entire kingdom against her. If she announced it publicly, Jon's claim would override Dany's.
      How is it more dangerous? Fighting in an openfield gives Dany the advantage and if you go only by land, the Ironfleet is no longer a factor.
      And yes I do, she should have realized her armies were exhausted and wounded, her dragon was wounded. Understanding someone does not mean I agree with them.
      Cersei knew Missandei was important, she was at the meeting in Season 7 at the pit. It wouldn't end the war, no, don't assume something and use that to insult me. It would make Dany's position weaker and would lead to her making mistakes. It's psychological tactics.

      Cersie losing the war is her defeat and imprisoning her would make Jamie sad .
      Sansa's ace was a necessity, because being jon's brother makes it important that she knows . Jon did the same thing when he announced to the wildlings that he killed mance raider , even though that would have compromised their help .
      The dothraki are injured and much less in numbers and even if by some miracle they survive the land attack how would they travel ONLY by land , since dragonstone is present on an island . They had to go by water nonetheless.

      Also why would keeping a hostage make any difference if killing the queen of dorne and high garden , and kidnapping yara didn't make any difference ? Also even if it did , cersie already thought she won knowing that dany had a much smaller army and lost one of her dragons , meaning killing the rest of the army and the last dragon would be easy .

    That’s the equivalent of invading Europe but not knowing who the president of France is. Also Daenerys legitimizing Gendry essential made another person who now arguably has stronger claim than her on the iron throne. Guess she kinda sorta forgot. BTW it would not surprise me if it were still held by Stannis supporters.

    You've got to wonder how this story might have unfolded had they told Emilia Clarke seasons ago the way Daenerys would end. David and Dan knew, after all. And instead of pairing the efforts of the writers with the effort of the actress to nail a more gradual and evident emergence of that dangerous Targaryen nature, they pretty much tied her hands behind her back. This character should have been on the edge a lot longer than she was (which is to say approximately six screen seconds before she blew). A lousy call on the part of the showrunners.

    The first arrow that hits Rhaegal in the chest is coming directly from the front, which means the ship from which it was fired was directly in front of and below Daenerys, so how tf could you miss that!? Even more baffling is that the second arrow hits Rhaegal at 90 degrees from the side, meaning there had to be a second group of ships in addition to the main group lead by Euron, but we only see one main group in the scenes afterwards. Really, really dumb.
