Last Dany knew, Euron was going back to the iron islands

Except we know Cersei lied and Jaime told Dany the truth. If they knew about the second sons, they had to know about Euron since he was their ride.

Did he tell her specifically about Euron? I don’t remember

Just went rewatch, yes he did


Then I don’t know. Only reason for sailing at that point would be to get there quickly. She was worried about delay and the opportunity for Cersei to gain strength

I don't think he told her about the second sons either, but they were discussed in the battle planning scene. I don't know how they would know about them and not Euron since he's the ferry for them.

Read my post again. He told her


Sailing is the quickest way to DS so I guess that’s why they did it


ETA: quickest way south, and only way to DS for anyone but Dany and Jon

He did. Theon told her that Yara was taking the islands back in her name.

What I don't get is why Cersei didn't just rain down those things on Danny and her small group of unsullied outside of King's Landing (which apparently is a new King's Landing).


Because that is the smart thing to do and people on this show generally don't do smart things in battles/war.

Earlier visions of KL kind of painted them into a corner if they wanted that scene

But they still can't do anything without the rest of the army, right? At least that was the original plan until Missandei was taken and they thought then would be a good time to show force and make demands?

Yeah it’s dumb, but we’re supposed to be seeing Dany make bad decisions to show why she’s unfit


Just like rushing to leave WF

I would have opened the gates and charged the shite out of them. Vollied arrows, speared the dragon, Kill 50 unsullied and Dany. What happened to Cerci not giving a sit about the rules?

Was Euron just hanging out for months on end? How did they know they would be there then?

The ONLY explanation is that she's smart enough to realize that she can tear apart her enemies from within. If she bates Dany into going mad queen, then Dany loses most if not all of her support and Cersei has her enemies fighting either other again.

I can at least buy that. But it's riskier because you pass up a great opportunity to weaken your enemies as a whole and there's much more drama involved than the simpler option.

Why didn't Missandi just grab Cercei and jump off the ledge killing both of them? No one could have stopped it.

Why would that be the end of his story? He said he would be back at the end of the war to receive payment



Bronn is definitely hiding low until all this shite gets sorted out. There's no way he returned to KL.

She would rather say “shoot fire dragon” and have her head Cut off

What’s so difficult to understand?

Because we have 2 eps left like slackster said in another thread. Logic is gone... plot armor...

Pretty disappointing for a show like this.
