[@katerinabilkova3838]

Yes, because honestly, a lot of the events or the thought behind the plot make sense, it's just the rushed pacing and sloppy details (such as fatal stabs for Arya/Jaime, that could have been easily replaced with painful, yet less damaging wounds) that make it messy and confusing. With added details to development, more dialoque and utilizing of characters abilities, it would be mostly good, given that you can't please such wide audience as a whole anyway.

Dragon50275 agree! I’m still bummed that for years we were working up to fighting the night king and it was literally all over in an episode. And hasn’t been spoken about since, I thought they would at least bring the storyline a bit further with the night king, maybe someone else becoming one.

They have to stay positive because they need the money, but lets ignore the bad writing, retcons, character plotlines destroyed, subverting expectations and rushing this season to the point that it doesn't make sense after all these years. All of this just to shock and surprise casual fans that call others "haters", "nerd rage" or "nOt thE tRuE fAnS" for pointing out those things... And let's ignore the dumb writing that the writers said after this episode and make up some stuff to make it look good. Like when Voss talked about Jaime leaving Brienne and he said it was a bummer, or the horse and relating it to Bran when the writers even said its only a representation of the pale horse of death.

The walls exploading when Arya was running is actually a thing that happens in real life, when stone gets hot enough it exploads. Also Daenerys killed Ellaria Sand, rip.

I’ve enjoyed each episode this season. While I loved hearing/reading/watching all the different theories about what could/should happen, it was all still speculation to fill the two year wait. Haters need to lighten up. GoT is a STORY devised for entertainment. It’s not everyone’s thing. If someone doesn’t like it, move on to something else. No need to shame it and try to ruin it for those who are still entertained by the story. Thank you NewRockstars for helping to keep the entertainment going, even when the episodes didn’t meet everybody’s expectations.

People are so mad 😡 at daenyrys's character Arc. But it makes sense to me. Like they say "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts with a huge dragon when you burn all of King's Landing"

I like the comparison of Drogon with nuclear weapons. However, the bombs released by the United States upon the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- both military industrial cities -- happened BEFORE the Empire of Japan had surrendered. Dany Targaryen unleashed Drogon AFTER the city had surrendered.

[@technokokos]

Exactly bombs were dropped to prevent much bigger loose of life on both sides. Is it drastic yes? But less drastic than invasion of island would be.

[@yvonneburns2786]

Actually no after Hiroshima Japan surrendered but America still bombed Nagasaki just because they could

[@henkjanwolvega]

Yvonne Burns uh no they didn’t? Japan resisted the unconditional surrender until the second bomb was dropped. Bombs were dropped on the 6th and 8th of August and the empire of japan surrendered on the 12th. You might be thinking of the bombing of Rotterdam where Nazi Germany bombed the city even though the Dutch surrendered.
