LeGOATski Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 OK so noooow ONE dragon and 1/3 of Danny's army just obliterated Cerci's ground forces The unsullied hold Castle Rock Now all of a sudden it is just the ship fleet and Cercei's forces that are at the castle is all that is left? I mean.....Dany didnt even use all of her dragons in the attack. Also...it looks like her dragon was wounded.....but not mortally? Seemed to hinder its flying ability, but a wound it can easily recover from. Now Dany knows what to expect next time. Bad news for Cersei. Once that first shot went by, I thought it was dumb of Dany to go back. She should've just hung back and let her Dothraki hoard take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt get that either and I hope Dany gets council on that......the thing is I think Dany thinks she and her dragons are virtually invincible (because they practically are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) OK so noooow ONE dragon and 1/3 of Danny's army just obliterated Cerci's ground forces The unsullied hold Castle Rock Now all of a sudden it is just the ship fleet and Cercei's forces that are at the castle is all that is left? I mean.....Dany didnt even use all of her dragons in the attack. Also...it looks like her dragon was wounded.....but not mortally? Keep in mind that some of the Lannister army had already made it back to King's Landing with the gold. The question now becomes does Cersei repay the iron bank or hire more soldiers? Dragon should be fine, but Dany should realize a hit to the head would of been deadly. Maybe I shouldn't of made fun of the dragon "counter weapon" Cersei was bragging about in the 1st episode of the season. Cause I'd like to see it, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Oh yeah, either Bran or Theon can be killed off anytime please. I like how Bran scared the $hit out of Littlefinger with his "chaos is a ladder" line. I think the show runners made a mistake in suddenly turning Bran into Spock. I'm guessing it was a gradual decline in his lack of emotion in the books to come. Too much show time invested in Theon not to have him die in a redeeming way. I know it's pry not the case, but did it strike anybody else that Jon could of simply drawn the whitewalkers on the cave walls and then showed them to Dany to get her to help him?

It was alluded to by Tarley that the remaining Lannister forces were the rear guard of the loot train. So the bulk of the Lannister forces were likely already in Kings Landing Drogon took a harpoon but was not killed. They've been foreshadowing that a dragon will be killed Only three episodes left. They're building up for an epic battle of Kings Landing where either Cersei or Dany is killed, or the Whitewalker threat is revealed to the South and the Living join forces to survive the Dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) That battle may have been even better filmed than the Battle of the Bastards. I can see why the season's abbreviated: they dumped all their money and effort into that battle. But the best part of the episode, by far, was Arya and Brienne sparring. That was awesome. Though Sansa didn't seem pleased about it. Umn soooooooo Forget I said anything.... Damn, I was on the mark. Mark that down I guessed the scene to near perfection!!! OK so noooow ONE dragon and 1/3 of Danny's army just obliterated Cerci's ground forces The unsullied hold Castle Rock Now all of a sudden it is just the ship fleet and Cercei's forces that are at the castle is all that is left? I mean.....Dany didnt even use all of her dragons in the attack. Also...it looks like her dragon was wounded.....but not mortally? Hold on. Wasn't it "the stragglers" the Dothraki and Danny attacked? Billy Bones (Black Sails) I mean Dickard saved Jamie then what happened to him? What happened to Lord Tarley? He was there telling Jamie the gold had reached the Red Keep. She has 2 other dragons to ride while that one heals. Drogon had more injuries from the fighting pits and survived. Too easy of a way to eliminate Jamie falling in deep water at the edge of the river or sea. (and Bronn) AWESOME Episode!!!

Jukester Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Epic episode. Chaos is a ladder, arya/brienne, battle from Bronn's pov, dragon hit, flee you idiot/f#* idiot, Guessing Jaime gets fished out as prisoner and becomes negotiating chip for Cersei's prisoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Danny needs to learn the truth about Jon and get 1 or 2 other dragon riders. My bet it's Cersei first. My theory on the revelation of Jon Snow's lineage: -Dany wants Jon Snow to bend the knee but Jon will not -Davos hinting that Dany is hot -The Davos / Jon Snow / Mellindre conversation on bastards, marriage, and the queen they chose Somebody will suggest rather than a bending of the knee there be a marriage of a King and a Queen As news spreads Brandon hears of it and says ewwwwwwww. In his own stoic Vulcan manner of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukester Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Cersei's .... which prisoners? The Sand Snakes? Unlikely. Cersei's too cruel. I was thinking Ellaria Sand but you may be right. She's no longer needed for the story. Although I don't see Cersei just abandoning her brother/lover completely. He's also key to leading her army.

Tony P Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 .... Although I don't see Cersei just abandoning her brother/lover completely. He's also key to leading her army. Actually, I'm thinking that Jamie is taken captive and while with Tyrion and Dany, finally realizes how truly evil (and insane) his sister really is and more or less, changes sides.

eball Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Loved the Sansa/Arya interplay...Sansa is relieved to have Arya home, but also obviously shaken (stunned) by what she has become. I do think Arya ultimately is the end of Littlefinger -- perhaps impersonating Sansa and leading him on? That would be awesome. Definitely going to re-watch this one a couple of times this week. And WHY does Dany fly the damn dragon right in the path of the huge crossbow? That sort of idiocy irks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first and only volley of arrows proved that they might not be needed. Tyrion said as much, apparently she said no.
