Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]
RE: Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]
One dragon, 3 arrows, 3 different places from where they came... one at 90 degrees from the others?! 90 degrees?! where?! The fleet was all huddled together!
TV writers... they just had to ruin a good story.

So... I gave up on the story at the release of book 4 by George R.R. back in the day..

So, they've killed off two of the three ONLY dragons in the world?

Have they indicated if the last one is female?

Have the three had time to get jiggy?

If not then the magic of the world is totally screwed... again.

Yup... why my feelings for Martin and the show writers is about the level of "They can simply perish in a fire for all I care."

Not at work.

Oh I do get that.

Kind of.

Been years (Possibly literally) since I've read the books.

The map of the world that's floating around on line has always struck me as... "Wrong".

It doesn't look like a proper piece of topography at all.

Now... how you hide (Or not notice? Or something?) a giant, flying, fire breathing Tank/A-10 would seem a stretch.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still... I do not give a rat's petunia in regards to anything by George R.R. Martin and company.

Looking forwards to 'The Witcher" and such instead.

How does she know that? She barely knows the guy and the way she looks at him - she clearly has a problem with him. And what does that matter what he wants anyway? When Jon says, that he doesn't want to be king and won't pursue his claim, Daenerys screams that it won't be up to him - and she's right. Gendri was a threat even as a bastard, especially that people of Westeros don't really seem to give a crap about tradition, lineages and legitimate successions lately. They'll crown pretty much anybody with a head, it seems. And if the lords of Westeros decide in the near future, that they don't really want to be ruled by another blonde b*tch and rebel against her - now they'll have a legitimate Baratheon Lord to gather behind and to install on the Iron Throne, even if Jon Snow dies, or his real identity remains a secret somehow.

That's why I'm faintly hoping, that Daenerys means to play Jon and Gendri against each other, or at least have the option, if one of them (most likely Jon) becomes too much of a threat to her
rule. But I'm not holding my breath, because quite possibly she is just dumb and inconsistent - or rather written that way.

Well, she must have been watching Rhaegal for a long time, because those huge black sails would have been visible from miles away. And what fleet drops anchor without scouting the area first and checking if they aren't about to be attacked?

Meh... She lost more than half of her army and two of her dragons, her boyfriend turned out to be an heir to her throne and his people hate her, despite everything she's done and sacrificed to save them. And I'm supposed to believe, that what pushes her over the edge is the death of just some girl, with whom she occasionally talked about their boyfriends' c*cks? I get the idea, but it still seems like bad writing and a poor effort to artificially inflate the stakes, at this late stage of the story. And it makes no sense whatsoever, that Cersei wouldn't kill Tyrion, when she had the chance - at least that would have had some dramatic effect. The show killing off minor characters and acting like it's meant to shock the viewer - as has been the case lately - is pretty laughable, considering how many seemingly important characters died in early seasons.

1.Accept once again they were behind an island and thus out of view 

2. why would they have scouted ahead as there was reason to believe they had a fleet there and second I point out they have a dragon so what fleet could possibly be a threat .

3. And even if she saw the fleet it wouldn't matter because again she has a dragon and there was no way they could have known they had equipped their ships with scorpions .

Who was one of her most trusted confidence and one of her loyal servants and your missing the point that this was the last straw .

Seriously? Cersei/Euron's army had how long to prep for the Dragon Queen? She'd have to be ridiculously stupid not to expect the army to be equipped with anti-dragon weaponry, especially considering that Bronn already used a prototype when she first invaded and she saw him using it.
