tbf the Dorne plot is a mess in the books too, if they had done a faithful adaption of the last 2 books it would have made for really boring tv. They had the right idea fastforwarding and cutting out a lot of that stuff, but they failed the execution.
I agree although I thought Dorne was more interesting on my 2nd read:manny:

My problem ain't them cutting out shyt, it's them clearly not giving a shyt or being competent enough to try

The Dorne shyt felt like them nikkas was killing time. It was anime filler

Nobody is saying they should not go with this story. We are saying the groundwork for her suddenly killing the entire Kings landing of innocents, is NOT anything she ever was on. She was gonna fly in and burn up the castle. Not the whole goddamn city. She certainly wasn’t planning on burning up women and children on a whim like fukk it.

They should have had this working for 6 seasons like Arya training. They might as well had Sansa kill the wights in the crypt with ninja moves if we just saying fukk the groundwork

“Well she grew up with the starks and Arya and her been chilling for months. It’s likely she learned that shyt”

No D&D you have to show us the shyt and build it up. You had 4 extra episodes to do so at the minimum. Maximum 7 since you cut last season too. Won’t even count before that cause I’ll chalk that up to the books
I agree with you on this. The show has become results over process.. they don’t care about how things happen or why they happen as long as they happen. They never really explained why Dany couldn’t have just burned Cersei last season before she let people in the red keep. I guess we’re supposed to assume that by burning her castle she will also be burning the city.

Dany going 'mad' feels rushed and out of character from previous seasons ... shes always been very righteous and for the the people & greater good of the realm

has she had to make tough decisions and exert power when needed? sure, just like any other person in a position of power

Yeah but I can also see how she is upset.

She saved the North yet they don't give a fukk about her ass. Lol.

Jon's the true heir and her whole claim is at risk now if the information is leaked.

2 of her children got merked telling others as well lol

And he closest nikkaz is getting merked.

I'll NEVER forgive them nikkas for Boardwalk Empire

I feel like HBO is basically EA (to break it down in video game terms)....yeah they fukk up a lot and most of the criticism leveled towards them is their fault....but occasionally they get blamed for things they had very little to do with (fukking up the "Mass Effect" franchise).

Or, for HBO, ending "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game Of Thrones". In both cases it's not HBO's fault, it's the show runners. People seem to forget Terrence Winter ended "Boardwalk Empire" to do "Vinyl" then abruptly bounced on that show, too.

I thought HBO put the stop to Boardwalk because of low ratings. It was crazy expensive to make that show for the low viewership it was getting.

yeah, I wouldnt even considered he raining fire next episode as going 'mad' because of everything you posted

if she turned on Jon or the people she allied with, that would be on the side of going 'mad' to me
