you already saw valyria, jorah and tyrion sailed right thru it


Did they? I thought that was the ruins of one of the outlying cities of the Valyrian empire. But I may be conflating the book with the show. I really thought the place Tyrion sailed through with Griff and company was not Valryia itself. Maybe they changed it for the show though.

they could easily get Dany to defeat Yunkai absolutely and sail to Asshai and Westeros in 7 or 8 episodes.


I may be alone in this, but I'm looking forward to Dany getting her arse kicked in battle. She needs to be humbled

In the books it was one of the Rhoynar cities destroyed by Valyria during the wars with Garin the Great, before Nymeria brought the Rhoynish to Dorne. In the show it was a very disappointing Valyria.

And does everyone take Euron at his word that he sailed to Valyria? The dragonhorn is a strong piece of evidence but Rodrik the Reader was skeptical.

You're definely not alone on that. She is a very cocky person. But than again she was raised by Viserys.

She also has dragons.

Go back to the middle ages with nukes and see how humble you are.

But I am sorta annoyed with her whole storyline, everything just works out for her because either she has dragons, or because she has surrounded herself with a great supporting cast.

I was skeptical on this as well, but from a sample chapter, Euron contains an object that I can't see him getting anywhere but Valyria. I think Euron went there, and was crazy and horrible enough to survive it.

I remember though during the kingsmoot in the books they actually went into where all he had sailed. Actually, the kingsmoot was MUCH better in the books.

What? Dany has been kicked all over Essos by everyone. Her destroying the slaver attack was her first real victory IMO.

All I'm hoping for is for Yara to eat it. I didn't watch 3 seasons of Theon getting tortured just for him to become her dopey sidekick

Theon being in the North (and a little in the I.I.) this whole time and then all of a sudden being with Dany and crew is out of left field. But I'm rolling with it at this point with combining plots.

Those khals she recently murdered must have won their positions with nice hair and smooth dance moves.

And she flew away from a large-scale assassination attempt on the largest dragon seen in centuries.

They could have changed it but the stone man scene was supposed to be the bridge of dreams in the books. Further upstream on the Rhoynar than Valyria. I thought they showed a glimpse of Valyria when they showed the long bridge and then Yara in the brothel when her and Theon had their talk. I can't remember if the prostitute had a tattoo on her cheek or not. Thats usually the give away for Valyria.

I think you're confusing Valyria with Volantis.

Not that anyone cares, but what HBO should do is make a feature film to tie everything up - leave that final episode with a cliffhanger, then, BOOM, hit them with a trailer for a summer blockbuster:



That's what they should do. The regular show length won't do it justice and I dont think they have the budget to make it what it should as a finale for TV. Do as much as you can on TV. But make a 2 hour film as the finale. It's the only way to do it right IMO
