Game of Thrones, Season 8 (spoilers allowed)

Well, that was pretty fucking dark.

 

What cosmo said.

Seriously, holy crap, that was a tough episode to watch.

 

If Euron’s fleet and scorpions got the jump on two dragons last week why was it so freaking easy for one dragon to destroy the fleet and the entire city defenses? One of what I’m sure will be many problems people continue to have with the writing.
Also, just like we found out Yara re-took the Iron Islands with no details, we get told Jamie was captured, with no explanation.
I’m picking Arya to whack Danarys in the finale. I think she’s pissed because she saw so much of the human cost for that little temper tantrum.

 

Best episode of the season.

 

Dany's heel turn was much more convincing than Anakin's.

 

Also, why was it Varys’ fault about the news leak in Jon’s parentage? The gossip chain was Jon-Sansa-Tyrion-Varys.

 

Choosing to present the Dragon Queen’s atrocity from the point of view of her victims made the episode much more compelling.

 

Because Varys was the one saying that they should get behind John.

 

And now Jon knows he was right.

 

Also ... Arya running through King's Landing was a book end to her escape from King's Landing after her father's execution in Season 1. And Tyrion's scene with Jamie was so moving .... Dinklage is one of the best actor's on that show, accent be damned.

 

Now every character worth a damn except Grey Worm knows Varys was right. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Grey Worm attack Jon and perhaps even kill him. Just the look on his face as he saw Jon trying to hold his men back while the Unsullied and Dothraki attacked.

 

We’re definitely going to see a Grey Worm-Jon showdown. I have no idea how next week plays out. Damn fine episode this week though.
