Arya: im a living my best life im not a lady even tho i cried/begged you over it before ... faceless = westerosi makeup cheat code?
Brienne: instead of the guy who loves her for who she is wants the badboy she cant have and change him.
Cerci3: its your baby
Sansa: will you risk it all for me and do me a favor my ex?

Pay attention young men. These women are ruthless

I sat through Dexter and Breaking Bad. This is approaching Dexter territory.

Nikka said he sat through Dexter

You better than me

 

[Robbie3000]

Tyrion is still a Lannister at heart. He hasn't been giving ole Dani girl all this bad advice on accident.






Lannister Set is the Army but yet the Navy.

I’ve been saying Tyrion is not a war time consigliere since they landed in Westeros.

Actually he was pretty bad in Slavers bay too.

Ole be gentle when conquering ass nikka.

Dany should have went from region to region demanding fealty or else like her ancestor.

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

IDK man. Thats probably the worst thing Ive ever heard a director say. Like if you write a plot with the intention of making a character ignore the most prevalent blockade for their progression...I just dont know. Like that shook my expectations going forward

This season might ruin this show's legacy. To think these writers wanted to be responsible for a topic as sensitive as the the Confederacy winning the civil war with their show Confederate.

 

[AlainLocke]

Why are they against a marriage? It doesn’t make any sense.

Like why not just create a Targ-Stark dynasty...

Why would Dany be opposed to marrying Jon and having him as co-ruler and making everyone happy because he can be King of the North and she still will be Queen of the North since she loves him so much and wants to get along with his sister and Northerners?

Kings and Queens from other families married all the time to unite territories, eliminate tension, how would this be any different

Why would these obvious solutions to a problem be shot down?

Plot.

 

[Yinny]

Cersei had a dragon killed, tried to kill the other one with Dany, killed Danny's men, now Dany is right at her door to negotiate and she didn't finish the job?

She kidnapped Misandei as a bargaining chip?

I think Cersei keeping her was a Bow Down move more than bargaining and expecting. Same with the greeting and terms, that seems to be more of a formality/rule of engagement to see if the approacher is coming in peace/to bow down/request help or whatever, notice Dany did it to every city she eventually conquered. And then give each side time to gather their militia.

And the patience hasn't gotten anywhere and meant nothing.

She wasn't needed to save the North seeing how the Night King was killed. She loss a dragon doing that bullshyt.

She never needed anybody to help her attack King's landing with her army and 3 dragons. She pretty much waited around to find out that she isn't a true heir, get bad advice and lose two of her dragons, lost men in her army to fight some fukking snow zombie that got stabbed by a little girl and died.

Life Lesson from Queen Dany

If you got the advantage, fukk what everybody is telling you and set the world on fire.

Then she would’ve been like her dad and probably not have amassed the army she did- quickest way to have all the kingdoms rise against her. Also, if she still had her Drogo and the Dothraki nomads it would’ve been even clearer she wasn’t fit for the throne, they were so clearly savages. From her brother’s greed in the earlier seasons telling her how their fam would rise again to how his head was destroyed by molten lava (a form of fire), I didn’t get how she would’ve had true claims to the throne if they shared blood. I need to get through more parts but hopefully they explain it at some point.

 

[Citi Trends]

because they never had anywhere close to Dany power.

if Dany was crazy, she would've flown to Red Keep and burned Cersei alive in season 7.

and Arya came back to Westeros and cooked all of Welder Fray's sons into meat pies Dany has been patient as shyt

dany's been threatening to barbecue people's cities before she had power, she's just recently been able to actually flex it.
And Sansa, Arya, and Jon have forgiven/teamed with people like Theon, The wildlings, Jamie, The Hound etc...You think Dany would? She was even rambling about her crazy ass father when Jamie arrived.
Sansa told her to wait until everyone was rested before going to KL, but no she just had to go now with 17 soldiers.

And they made a point to state that Arya gathered everyone who had a hand in the red wedding, notice she didn't kill the daughters. Arya actually has skill and a concrete purpose, not just roaming around proclaiming queen and having the poor bow down to her . So yeah she was trying to play off that craziness before, but her actions suggest she's operating on some ridiculous logic this whole time and now it's revealing itself to her.


Personally I dont care if she burns king's landing to the ground, but people using the whole "she lost a dragon and missandei" excuse are being biased. What did she think was gonna happen if she flew a dragon out there? They were gonna cuddle with it?

 

[The G.O.D II]

Man how trash has Tyrion become since the writers have no book material? He’s fukking useless

 

[Biscayne]

Dany's problem was she came to Westeros trying to be friends with everybody.

Made people think they had a say in the matter. Nobody likes a conqueror. That's why they're called conquerors.

I'm sure Aegon the Conqueror didn't have no dwarfs and dikkless bald dudes at his round table telling him to think about the people and the noble families Nah. That dude was fukking shyt up. Either you was with it or you was gone. And all the noble families he rose up to replace the lords he got rid of seemed to fall in line extra fast lol. Viserys probably wouldn't have made it this far but, it he was in King's Landing, he would've burned that whole shyt down before he allowed Cersei to even think she had a chance

Aegon didn't have the one episode Night King to deal with either. Nor was he compromised by love. He married his two sisters and he had no allegiances to anyone in Westeros. Dany was born in Westeros(raised in Essos), had enemies in westeros, has a beau(Jon Snow) who is full blooded Westerosi, and she had the army of the dead to deal with. She had much more on her plate than Aegon, who not only had two sister wives to help him out, but his sister wives were also dragon riders with dragons of their own. So he had two other dragon riders besides himself and he only had to deal with a fragmented Westeros who already hated each other.

They treating Dany so unfair. Part of me wishes Dany would've just taken the Dothraki, The Unsullied, Missandei and all of her allies to Dragonstone and stayed their to watch The White Walkers attack from the North and then watch Cersei come up from the South to take advantage, all the while Dany eats her popcorn. Let the world die. Let the throne die as well since they're so mad at "Foreign Conquerors" and brown ppl.

Pay attention young men. These women are ruthless

Who hurt you?

 

[goatmane]

You know what's even crazier?

Why didn't Cersei just kill Daenerys right then and there?

She only had a few Unsullied with her. Cersei could've easily unleashed a barrage of arrows right after she killed Missandei.

It's not like she isn't known for playing dirty.

Scene really doesnt make any sense. looks dumb as hell

I think the writers needed a scene where Euron hears Tyrion talk about the baby. Euron realizes the math dont add up... Jaime got Cersei pregnant, not him.

 

[ig88]

Who hurt you?

I gotta be hurt to realize every woman in this ep manipulated a guy for her whims?

“Are you a virgin?”

*@mson drinks

 

[goatmane]

i think this explains the writing

they needed to make Dany strong enough to fight the Night King, but weak enough for Cersei

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Where’s the brehs who were acting like danys vision Couldn’t be ash or represent Jon Snow....nikkas was like “it was supposed to be white walkers and winter in kings landing ”

I’m right here brehette. If I was wrong then and snow in King’s Landing would be a better story

 

[AlainLocke]

Yeah you right. She got bad advice for Varys and Tyrion... same dudes trying to replace her.

All I'm saying is that this "Mad Queen" story is forced

It is forced because she wasn't even on that tip without them.

I don't even know why she thought she needed them when she did everything by herself with her crew.

Why would anybody listen to Tyrion, a drunk whoremonger that didn't do shyt in his life and a guy that watched 7 or 8 rulers die?

They never showed us why they should be listened to because Dany did all the hard shyt, they just popped up and started telling her shyt that was wrong given how the story has played out. shyt that didn't make any sense given the own story logic.
