Eh, it had its high moments and its low.

Sunfyre shows back up. Ulf’s betrayal is in full swing. Helena’s cheese is sliding off the cracker.

The only difference for Mysaria is she’s fricking Rhanerya instead of Daemon. She sewed the seed against Daemon in the book as well (with Nettles). It’ll be satisfying if she meets the same end as in the books.

The show completely fell apart at Queens Landing and we’re just witnessing the consequences of all those issues now.

No, it's definitely the reverse.

That is not the pace of a penultimate episode. To make matters worse, it was basically the TLJ of Game of Thrones from a plot standpoint


The pacing got all fricked up by the stuff pulled behind the scenes by the Discovery exec and the budget last season.

And if they’re not getting an appropriate budget for the last season, I don’t see how they pull off all they need to pull off to being the story to completion.

Whore to whore talk in the throne room:

"It's like al of their little pricks fighting for the throne"

Yay, feminist drivel from the 1970's.

That. Was horrible. Like Westworld season horrible. Maybe two short action scenes. Aemond still screwing around. No assassination attempt of him. More chick talking. Nothing on plot advances.

If this show has only 1 more season and it’s only 7-8 episodes, the last season is going to be more rushed than Season 8 of GoT was. There’s so much shite that has to happen still.

fricking Aegon isn’t even at Dragonstone yet.

Watch the episode with the knowledge that it was written by DEI chicks who hate white men and think all men are simpletons. Once you see it, it's just everywhere.

Don't worry. Next week's episode was written by the great Ryan Condal








































and yet another DEI chick.

Struggling company gets bought out. Acquiring company installs leadership of struggling company to lead the new combined entity.

Acquiring company begins making bad decisions and starts struggling. Always wild how that happens

None of the shitty writing I've seen all season is about corporate takeovers.

Unless you mean the DEI writers. I'm not sure whose fault that is.

Season 1 was really solid and season 2 had the best episode of the series but all of season 3 has felt off and starting a few weeks ago was just straight up unwatchable. 3 episodes behind after trying to start the episode from 3 weeks ago multiple times. Awful shite from HBO.

I have watched every episode of every show from this world and last night was the first time I said frick this shitshow and turned it off. I couldn't even finish watching the episode. Probably won't watch anymore unless I hear good reviews.

Crazy to have an episode with serious dragon on dragon action and return of Sunfyre get just ripped apart as shitty and boring. Not sure what it says about the series, but it isn’t anything positive. Hah.

I'm pretty sure Aegon and Sunfyre were laughing together at the end of the scene.

The white worm needs her mouth sewn shut.

Jesus what a crap episode.

I said we are normally at least get 2-3 good episodes a season but looks like we might just get one this season.

This was the first episode that felt like it was directed by someone at CW. The Helaena dream sequences were something out of a My Little Pony episode. Wtf was that.

Whoever decided to focus a majority of two seasons on the woods witch at Harrenhal needs to be tarred and feathered. Seriously. I don't fast forward through shows but I honestly would probably enjoy the show more if I fast forwarded through all her scenes.

How do the writers / producers hear her accent, review it, and then green stamp it? It's painful and distracting...
