I agree deese, although Arya is coming to take care of business to and with the gates open easy for a girl with no name to get in and blow up the dragon fire storehouse

So, Daenerys legitimized Gendry as a Baratheon... Because - I guess - it wasn't enough for her, that Jon has a "secret" claim to the Throne as a Targaryen. Now there's also a Baratheon, who may be loyal to her and may not want the crown - but then that's the same as Jon and she's freaking out about his lineage. And Gendri's claim seems pretty strong, since the last legitimate king of Westeros was Robert Baratheon, his father. While Jon's claim relies on a secret marriage ceremony, that changes the history as it's commonly known to most citizens of Westeros, happened long time ago and everyone involved has been dead for ages. Maybe that's a ploy, an effort to turn Jon and Gendri against each other, in case either of them decides to challenge her position on the Iron Throne?...
Another dragon goes down like a b*tch. One would think, that having the ability to fly would give you an advantage, when it comes to spotting an enemy fleet, approaching under full sails. But I guess it was a funny angle, or something...
Misande is gone. What a blow... Why do we care about her at all, again? I mean - except for being a translator in Slaver's Bay and a girlfriend of a eunuch, which was amusing for a bit, sure - what has she contributed to the overall plot? Well, maybe her death will at least contribute to Daenerys turning evil.

To be fair, I didn't ether. My friend did, and so I went to check. It's definitely there - around 17 minutes in

WHY ARE THE CHARACTERS SO STUPID? They have nobody to blame for the dragon's death themselves. Have yall considered scouts, who may have noticed 30 Greyjoy ships before the rest got there? Or maybe taking the dragon directly above them, or behind them, and burn them all before they can make a turn... you know, anything aside from flying directly at them?
Also, am I supposed to believe that Cersei didn't want to see Tyrion killed even though she had just hired a man to travel a thousand miles to kill him AND she believes in a fucking prophecy that foretells TYRION KILLING HER?* Lol. Also, the same woman who burned the Red Keep to kill all of her enemies really wasn't gonna just annihilate Dany and company right there? I don't understand.
When you have dumb writers, you get dumb characters.
*It'll most likely be Jaime, not Tyrion, but she doesn't know that

I found both last week and this week's episodes frustrating AF. I am the least war-minded person, but damn - even I could think of better ways to approach the battles. Scouts (did they not think they would build larger and more powerful ways to bring down the dragons?! DUH), approach from behind, nighttime attacks (or even cloud cover!), dragons as a surprise tactic, and I agreed 100% that they should have waited between battles to heal and suss out the situation. Frustrating!
Alas, my way would probably make for some boring TV. lol
