So...just because there are dragons and magic and ice zombies means a functional, or more realistic, portrayal of an army or intelligence gathering shouldn't be hinted at or hoped for?

To be fair, she asked Jon to bend the knee before she knew about the losses to her flight at Casterly Rock...
Her attitude has always been the same entitled, bratty...before or after her knowledge of casterly rock.
And it's not a sexist comment. Her attitude sucks in general. You on YouTube reaction video and see how many women/girls are repulsed by her.

He did not

The purpose of GoT is entertainment, not a heavy military technical strategy. If you can except dragons, you can expect sneak attacks.

Given the shot of her on a dragon roaring at him, I think he did not.

Does bending the knee sexually count?

Realistic battle and fighting scenes wouldn't be as exciting and quick as they are in the show.

Nothing about this show or the book from any chapter or season is realistic so why does this battle have everyone so upset.
Again ignoring many things that have taken place especially the arrogance of the Lannisters please explain that if scouts were in place to warn of the advancing horde and a dragon what would they have done differently.
Remember infantry soldiers and not at full strength. Most wagons had no horses with them as it looked like they were being rested as we see many running away once the dragon attacks. The infantry was in a open field so could not take cover from with the Horde or the dragon. The infantry was there protecting the supply train to prepare for a possible siege at KL and had not built any defensive positions and do not care how fast the scouts may have been because again could not do anymore then create a shield wall. The Dorathki attacked the way they have mastered for hundreds of years by attacking a army in the open field to maximize their ability on horse. So please tell me what a freaking scout would have been able to do to change the outcome of that battle.

I am sorry that I want more GOT and not something that feels rushed. It seems like the show is on a shot clock
I totally agree. I'm enjoying these episodes but it's crazy how the show has been such a slow build and now it's just off the rails insane battles/huge events every week.

I agree and why most do not understand real battle.

Dany dies in the fight for Dawn, does Jon turn to Sansa or Ayra? Me thinks Ayra. Troubling, but would fit into the GoT world of relationships
Arya+Jon was how Martin originally had it. In his first draft they hook up.

This is such a tired argument.
I assume you would be fine with Jaimie breathing in water? Because, you know, dragons.
Perhaps KL doesn't need the food either because everyone just decided to stop eating for a few months to help out Cersei? Dragons.

it's just the "surprise" crutch they've used 3 episodes in a row for key battles. if this was the first time it occurred this season, nbd, just part of the game. but it's literally been used THREE episodes in a row. that's like half of this season

The show is being rushed and they would benefit from a few extra episodes this season.

I've been hoping we'd get to see some Sansa titties.

Well it's good to see that it isn't just Danny that is horrible at scouting

Sophie is too big of a name at this point.

There is no time for anything other than war game dialogue it seems.
