Cersei has every right to be driven mad by the sound of bells during her defeat given her walk of SHAME, doesn't.

Daenerys goes mad from bells during her victory because S u B v E r T e X p E c T a T i O n S !!!

The bells were amazing. Clegane bowl was re.tarded.

Arya basically represents the audience for Game of Thrones, wanting to leave.

I only caught the lat half hour (I'll watch the entire episode after dinner) but all I could think of was "Holy shit are they all going to die? Good."

Arya was hit with building debris x100 but nah she lives, everyone else dies. She's the Westeros Terminator.

HIMYM should be a flaming wreck on the exit ramp.

 

[Frazzle]

what the fuck was that minute long like sensual moment between Arya and the horse that magically wasn't burnt to shit like the rest of the entire city?

I keep seeing posts saying that D&D butchered 'Dany' this season when since like...season 2 she's just been terrible and a pouty, bratty bitch throughout?

I never understood why people see her as a STRONG WYMN when all she has ever done is not listen to her advisors and kills anyone who doesn't wank all over her.

Edit: Not saying this is not out of character because it is (despite build up) but it's still dumb how people think she is this pure good character when she's really not. I've also never read the books so basing this off the tv show.

"I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death..."
Pure symbolism - potentially for Arya killing Dany. ...Or they just really liked Gandalf's horse scenes and needed her to do something "cool".

 

[Muttnik]

How did the bells even drive her bonkers? The way the scene is shot, she just looks confused and hesitant before the dragon takes off to burn shit.

 

[Somar]

So how long until "Griefing Thread" gets added to the thread title?

 

[Mola Ram]

My favorite part was the "Previously On" where they dredged up dialogue from all 7 seasons so they could pretend they actually built up to this mess.

 

[Shokaract]

Westeros needs Aragorn son of Arathorn to set things right.

Freefolk on suicide AND homicide watch in post-episode discussion thread:

 

[Frazzle]

my deep lore is that khal drogo had syphilis and after this decade of her trudging through essos and finally getting here it all caught up to her and this is the neurosyphilis finally taking sweet victory

 

[Miang]

So um...how about all those parents from 2014 to the present day who named their children "Khaleesi."

 

[Marissa Moira]

I thought she was burning shit because she decided that it was better to be feared than loved in the previous scene.

Also the Hound killed his brother in the same way people clear the undead asylum in Dark Souls.

That scene with Cersei's bloodied hand made me think D&D tried writing Macbeth but ended up doing A Comedy of Errors instead.

I LIKED the idea of Daenerys going bonkers. But the setup for this makes no sense whatsoever. The only SLIGHT hint in all 7 seasons she'd go batshit like this was when she actually roasted Dick'em & Pops. If this is the outcome they wanted for her character, they should've spent more time building towards it, not spending the entire length of the show making every effort to show that, yes she's entitled, but her main actions are to protect the innocent people blah blah blah. NONE of that matters, at the sound of a fucking bell. Same with Jaime, just shit on 7 years of character building because "OH MAN, THEY'LL NEVER GUESS THIS!"

Count me annoyed. I don't like watching a show I was enjoying just get completely trashed. On the other hand, the super salt is fun to watch too, so...kinda worth it?
