All I'm sayin is you better learn to like Jamie Lanister, cause if you don't the ending probably going to suck.

My bet is for everyone to be dead except Jamie and the bald enuch Advisor.... Outside shot of Jamie actually killing Cersei.

That's how I see it ending.

Howard_Casto:
I'd pick one of the dead characters resurrecting and taking the throne before Jamie.

*sigh*

Well, you were super wrong :p

This whole season has been pretty bad. The increased run times don't seem to matter, an extra 20 minutes of panoramas dont really add anything. The magic Scorpions/Ballistas lost their magic. If you didn't see the dragon attack going the way it did you haven't picked up on how bad and obvious the writing is this season. 1 episode arc to the mad queen was weak AF. Killing the second dragon made even less sense from the previous episode since they buffed the main one to God status this week.

I can't wait until they wrap this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- show up.

Howard_Casto:
It hasn't been a 1 episode arc, it's been an 8 season arc...she's always been the poorest written character on the show and has shown time and time again to have the emotional maturity of a particularly moody toddler. That being said, I thought the whole point of dropping these little hints here and there was so that you'd think she'd turn mad only for her not to.. that would have been intelligent writing. This was just dumb. Likewise with Jamie and Cerci. Jamie had an arc of redemption... the only way those end is either dying a heroic death or a good ending. I'll admit that I actually felt sorry for them in that final scene, but I think that was just due to the caliber of acting. Ditto for the Jamie x Tyrion exchange.

Getting back to Danny, I guess she and her dragon are indestructible when they are pissed off. That's fine I guess, but then why didn't she get pissed off and destroy the iron fleet straight away in the last episode so that her bff didn't get captured and murdered, essentially starting this whole rampage in the first place? Oh yeah, because that would have ruined their paper thin plot. Also how did she keep from burning her own men? Also, if she could somehow keep from killing her own men, how come Arya almost bites the big one 20 times? Was she trying to kill her? Yeah this was all spectacle no plot.

That being said Hound vs Mountain was pretty good. I particularly liked when the Mountain smashed that creepy ex miester's head in. It leaved a lot of un-answered questions though, namely wtf did they do to the mountain to make him indestructible. What few Arya x Hound scenes we got were pure gold. I think the old "O'Brien must suffer" meme from ds9 has to be changed to "Arya must suffer" now. That poor girl never catches a break.

I think the biggest problem I have with the episode though is this shortened season length. Ok we've got an evil person on the throne again... now what? We've got about an hour and 20 minutes left so even if they manage to defeat her there isn't going to be any time left to actually decompress and see some closure for all of these characters. The other option is to just leave her on the throne, but then they've basically pulled a "to be continued" in preparation for some terrible spin-off. I mean how are they even going to be able to defeat her with puff the magic dragon on her side? I'm guessing via more terrible plot.
