A college sophomore could have written this episode
Watching the scene of Viserion getting hit again, I wish Emilia would have made more of a reaction. People like to shyt on her acting, and I usually think her acting is fine given the character who is supposed to project an air of confidence at all times. But it would have been added more 'umph' to the death if she could have given more of a horrified reaction, perhaps something similar to when Elaria saw Oberyn get crushed. As it stands, her understated sadness looks no more devastating than any of the other people looking at the dragon die.
Jon had more of an angry reaction, which makes sense because he probably feels guilty for getting her dragon killed but I guess I just feel now would have been the time for Emilia to give a performance that isn't so muted. She gave the muted performance when she sent Jorah away, and gave the muted performance when she finally made it to Dragonstone. Feels like a horrified anger would have been a better direction for that particular scene. And then they could have fell back on sadness when she reflected on the boat with Jon.
I'm DEFINITELY using this shyt
for fukk's sake they introduced and built up euron just for this nikka to be ghost for 3 episodes in a row and no mention to wtf he's doing. these nikkas done set up a theon/yara rescue and not planted any seeds since the siege to get us to give a damn. bran got all the knowledge in the world and the most we've learned of him this season is he saw sansa get raped, knows chaos is a ladder, and can fly a flock of crows
if that's good storytelling to you, then we just don't need to discuss anything other than the dragons and battles
I saw him last episodewhere the hell is ghost
The disrespect putting Jon as a Targ
#NotMyKing
Still Lyanna Starks son so.....hmmmm.....conflicted
I need to see his ass bend the knee in front of a Weirwood or else its #SMJ for me
Plus I gotta see how the Northern lords react to all this. Doubt it will be this season
Difference is they are acting with another human being and are better actors than her. Acting against a green screen ain't easy. We in war bih can't be screaming tear if she hanging with real nikkas. Plus she got to be a commander of her dragons ain't no time for that.Watching the scene of Viserion getting hit again, I wish Emilia would have made more of a reaction.

Her scream is what always sells that scene for me.
Just like Cat screaming when she saw her son die sold that scene.
And Cersei screaming when she watched her son die sold that scene.
Both were horrified and vulnerable and destroyed.
As it stands, Emilia's understated sadness looks no more devastating than any of the other people looking at the dragon die.
Jon had more of an angry reaction, which makes sense because he probably feels guilty for getting her dragon killed but I guess I just feel now would have been the time for Emilia to give a performance that isn't so muted, especially since this is one of her "children" being killed.

this is embarrassing
Arya was literally running for her life. People around her were dying for her. She had to take an enormous risk to just show up to the place of the execution.
Sansa? That bytch rolled out of her royal bed, had her hands put on her make up and dress her, then strolled out there and had the nerve to be shocked that the people killing her family were still very much in the business of killing her family.
When Sansa was a 'prisoner', Arya was doing everything she could to survive in the gutters and work to kill people with her own hands. She couldn't kill Tywin because she didn't have the ability at the time, that motherfukker was still on the list tho. On top of that, she used every bit of information during that scene to plan out her next moves. What does Sansa do? What did Sansa do when LF put her on game, when Cersei schooled her, when Margery pulled her out for the one on one - NOT shyt. Sansa don't fukking learn and don't put herself in a position to do anything other than capitalize off of what people conveniently leave right in front of her.
The nerve of yal calling Arya a hypocrite she literally was punished with blindness for not dropping her motivations. Lived in trash and begged. #starkset yal need new management
And that's exactly what makes it cliche. The fact that everyone figured that out. This is exactly how LOST failed for me. Don't bring me through season after season when the end game is some cliche, a seven year old could've created that ending, BS.
Rickon > Robb
Sansa is the reason Robb and her mom died. She low key caused the fall of her house.
Lets go back to season 1. shyt goes south in Kings Landing and Ned tries to get his daughters out.Sansa refuses to leave and snitches on her dad. Now Ned was a lost cause. He was gonna die no matter what happened. Cersei was already plotting on the throne and there was no stopping it.
Had Sansa and Arya left then Cat has no reason to release Jamie. He most likely dies when Joffrey has Ned executed( I doubt Cersei could've stopped him).
With Jamie dead Lord Karstark is still alive and Robb still has the Karstark army and everything changes. Maybe Frey and Bolton never betray Robb if still backed by all of the Northern houses. Maybe Robb takes Casterly Rock. Or maybe the gods(R.R Martin) still say fukk you and the Red Wedding still happens.
Who knows? Also, had she kept her mouth shut she could've married Loras and ruled Highgarden but we know how that went.
Tl;Dr fukk Sansa!
I hate to break it to you but fans (especially book readers) figured out damn near everything happening in the show years ago. I don't mean just from this season, when it "fell off" or earlier when the show still followed the books....I mean virtually every plot beat, up to and including Jon's father not being Ned Stark. So either the writing was always cliched, or you just have to chalk it up to the fact that if millions of people throw theory after theory out there, for literally 20+ years....a few are going to be accurate. The only way to avoid this is to avoid discussing it on the internet.
