EVA Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The question is, was it just a coincidence or plot contrivance that Euron knew where and when to hit Dany's fleet, or did somebody in Dany's circle rat them out? It's worth remembering that she has a betrayal or two left on her prophecy bingo card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Man did Varys ever handle that situation well. I would have gotten all shifty eyed and been like "UH YOU'RE STARTING TO BE KIND OF A BITCH!!!" and been killed pretty quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, someone is about to push up daisies in a sec." Thank you, Euron "3 Minute Warning" Greyjoy Death, sure. But I wasn't expecting a full on combat scene.

Brian Fowler Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Also, if continuity matters at all, Euron better have a well stocked selection of poison remedies onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm guessing but.... When Theon is running away like Brave Sir Robin, are the people on the bow of the defeated ship the sand sisters, one impaled on the sword and the one hung by her whip?

BobbyWhioux Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Dagger Girl (a.k.a. Bad Pussy Girl) and Indria Varma are still alive. Whip Girl and Spear Girl are dead. Euron beat them with their own finishers and left them hanging from/nailed to the prow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when Deanerys revealed her strategy it was eerie how much it seemed like she was making some of the same mistakes Hillary Clinton made. Namely, having all her super smart political minds convince her that the victory was so guaranteed that instead of the simple direct overpowering route, she could expand the map and peck around into enemy territory to humiliate them and not worry too much about the main part of the map and then she would win in such a convincing and bloodless way that she would be even stronger as ruler Until the easy part turned out to not be easy. Its more that the direct approach would leave way too many dead and made Danny no better than the Mad King. Blood was always gong to be spilled, but it is generally best to try to make that blood come from as few of your future citizens as possible. Also a plan to cut off Casterly Rock was kind of needed anyways. Really it wasn't a bad plan. Euron won more because of the surprise of the attack. EVA is right. Its clear someone sold them out.

Pete Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I haven't seen someone choke as badly as Theon did since the 2007 Mets. (That joke was Cindy-approved. Begrudgingly.) Missed opportunity: the jump from Grey Worm/Missandei getting down to Sam should've had him dumping out people's shit and vomiting just to fuck with everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Am I the only one who thinks the show is moving too fast? When they had the scene with Dany and Tyrion, talking about sending a raven to Jon Snow, I instantly made a "one hour later..." remark to my wife. AND THEN IT WAS THE NEXT FUCKING SCENE. So now ravens travel at the speed of a text message. Despite the speed of the show at this point, there was still a lot to love. Jon should have left Ser Davos with Sansa though. I don't think Brienne is enough to remind Sansa that she knows Littlefinger is a scummy piece of shit. Plus, I really want to see Ser Davos smack Littlefinger around. By the way, Littlefinger admitting that he loved Kat and now loves Sansa was so gross. He got off light considering that the King in the motherfucking North only choked a bitch. I would have run him through and put his head on a pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I was amused by Sansaa's "Oh no Jon, you can't go, I won't let you....wait, I'm in charge while you're gone? Ok cool see ya!" I'm glad that Euron's gift to Cersei is going to be Myrcella and not the dragon horn like a lot of people feared - and that the solution to the dragons is just a really huge fucking spear ... even though I don't see that going well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he steps forward blade in hand Euron just slits Yara's throat and then most likely captures/kills Theon too. One of them needs to escape and survive, even if it's the lesser one. Of course you might also argue that a relatively quick death is preferable to what's probably in store for big sis now (and Theon should know all about THAT life) I think they're going to beat us over the head with Theon is a coward so it feels like something big when he finally steps up but much like having the intercontinental champ lose on tv every week before winning on ppv it risks going past the point of no return and being too little too late. Assuming they even pay it off and don't just want to keep doing comedy jobber skits because it amuses them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The best part is that Theon was an absolute badass the entire battle, cutting down Ironborn left and right. It's all in his head because of Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 12 minutes ago, L_W_P said: The timing on this show is something that will haunt me forever. End of last season we see little Sam in the citadel and he is just a baby. Meanwhile Tyrion and Dany are sailing for Westeros. Dany and co arrive at Westeros. Little Sam is now 2-3 years old. Even if he is about to turn 2, that's still close to a year on the open seas for Dany and her army. That means that at least 3 years went by while Varys traveled from King's Landing to Mereen to Dorne and back to Mereen in a last season. In the same time we have seen Bran get back to the wall while the white walkers aren't even attacking the first castle yet. Does my absolute head in trying to piece this together. Just assume that every storyline is being told at a different pace so they all converge at the same time. Think of it like you are meeting friends for a dinner reservation. Some people live closer to the restaurant, some people live farther away, others drive faster, and others drive slower, if they all get to the place at 8, why does the pace of how they got there matter? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
