Overal probably my favorite episode of this season, but still like a 6/10.
Things I liked:
- Tyrion killed it, his horror at Varys/Kings Landing burning to him trying to save Jaime. People shyt on him wanting to save Cersei but I don't think it's about her at all, he's trying to save her kid. He LOVED Tommen and Myrcella and feels responsible for Myrcella's death, this is hid way of making amends. Even in S7 his demeanor towards her changed once he realized she was pregnant. It's also the Tywin in him realizing that that child would be the last chance for their line to survive. I think he realizes he's a dead man.
- Dany. Yes it's a bit rushed but not as much as some of y'all are making it out to be. And y'all know I've been mostly shytting on this show since season 5. Yes she helped out the North but it's BECAUSE she did that and people turned around and thanked Jon/Sansa that she gives less of a fukk about the citizens. She also saw/heard about the disrespect the Northerners gave the unsullied/Missandei/Khalazar. She took all of it out on Kings Landing, it was a bit poorly written but I believed it.
- Qyburns death.
Mixed:
- Drogon. He must've gone Super Saijan 2 from killing Varys because he was on a whole other level and retroactively makes the previous dragon fights weird and Rhaegal's death even more ridiculous. It was piff to see though, especially the citizens fear and sense of claustrophobia, not knowing where he could strike next.
- Cleganebowl, just ok
Things I hated:
- Jon has the nobility of Eddard but he's lost all of his wits and intelligence since coming back from death muttering the same lines over and over. They can save this if the final episode acknowledges that dying changed him but to be real I think it's just another example of the writers sucking.
- That weak ass Sandor speech suddenly turning Arya round. Nicca could've said that in Winterfell but nah he waited till they were on the doorstep of the final boss.
- Euron. Added nothing, if he wouldn't have fought Jaime NOTHING would change.
- CGI was really off in a lot of places, retroactively makes the whole argument that GHOST was too expensive even more ridiculous.
- Varys going out like that. Just....no.
Season 8 might be battling for WOAT GoT season.
