I melted last week, but I thought this week was pretty much back to form for the show... But.. I simply cannot get over the inexplicable stupidities from the battlefield leaders in the past 2 episodes.

But tonight, was just bizarre. How was Sansa the only one with even a hint of common sense?

"hey, we just fought the biggest battle ever and lost most of our army and our nuclear options are extremely damaged... But, hey, lets march and sail 1000 miles to another battle just as big a day later."

Then, let's set sail to a base about 100 miles from the enemies front gate.

What would resting your army for a month or so hurt?

Also, they know the one place they're going to get absolutely hammered is at sea.

frick all that, its whatever maybe they are just dumb and underestimating, my question though, if ships are in range to accurately and lethally hit 3 out of 3 harpoons on your flying dragon... wouldn't you see the ships, again from your air vantage point....?

horseshite.

No military war college grad would have said last week’s episode (tactics and strategy) was fine.

Didn’t happen.

Dany is pushing it because she’s losing it.

You’re supposed to be questioning her judgment at this point

Dany's entire story at this point is cringe worthy on it's own

Hence why I can forgive what happened this week.

She's going Mad Queen and people are silently questioning her reasoning and logic. Sansa was the only one who came out and said what everyone was thinking.

Or how about the fact that they took their two biggest weapons in the dragons and sent them hey diddle diddle right down the middle with no idea of the defenses that Cersei would have set up. It’s not like they could have known they would have a trap set for them. Oh wait, they left the human UAV sitting in his wheelchair with nothing to do but count his pubes! He could have taken over some ravens and easily scouted ahead. Or the fact you could send your literal assassin sister who can become literally ANYONE, to the city that is currently letting EVERYONE inside to do some recon. Instead she’s off with the hound somewhere. God awful waste of military assets.

I honestly Didn’t think they’d go this route but they’re actually doing the Mad Queen storyline well.

Killing off most of her allies.
Shaking her foundation with Jon.l being a Targ
She came to Westeros and things aren’t going as she thought

There’s more people complaining about people complaining than are people actually complaining at this point.

Who?

Just because they play Civilization on their computer doesn’t mean they are military experts.
