Cleats to the face. Call VAR to make that a red.

How could that POSSIBLY be a free kick for Mexico?!?

OMG. Absolutely devastating loss for Japan.

Wow, never thought, as one of the most ardent critics of this show, that I’d be so dumbfounded by the criticism in this thread.

Are the decisions lots of people in this show make idiotic and frustrating? Absolutely. At the same time, are they true to the characters they’ve presented? Also, absolutely.

This show is about two mothers warring with largely a bunch of teenagers at their sides that control the ultimate fighting weapons of this world. Can y’all imagine anything worse military leaders than two mothers whose commanders are their kids? Can y’all imagine anything worse than giving teenagers ultimate death machines?

It does make for a frustrating view, at times, but I thought it was incredibly true to their characters. Have y’all been around fifteen year-olds lately? They make Tik Tok dance videos and eat laundry pods.

If you gave one of them a dragon, of course he’s gonna think he can fly off to war and save everyone. He’s got no battle experience so he won’t stay high away from the boats or cut the anchor whenever he’s shot. No, he’s gonna recklessly fly low to the water, get shot, do basically nothing but panic, swim away like a scared little boy instead of cutting away and saving his dragon, and then he’s gonna get shot.

The one who claimed a wild dragon? Of course she’s gonna think she can just show up and control this thing and not think through all the training and preparation required. She’s gonna panic and just start yelling nonsense whenever it’s attacking her sister.

Was any of it smart? Of course not, but it was all extremely believable IMO. The first thing I said to my wife whenever I saw her flying was “o god here comes friendly fire”. I’d thought originally it would be one of the three new dragon riders who were just camped out, but you knew there was gonna be some mistaken identity, was so obvious and believable.

I also thought, as someone mentioned, that the stuff around communication with letters and the fog of war and coordinating timing was so interesting. Makes me think of who knows how many instances back in the day where a major conflict was decided bc some rider got killed and didn’t deliver a message or a commander didn’t wait in his position long enough. Must’ve been impossible to coordinate back then.

My only real complaints are that there doesn’t seem to be any world where the Queens Guard dude listens to a fvcking teenager over his Queen. I know there’s been some skepticism over Raynera’s decisions, but I don’t get the sense that there’s this level of rejection of loyalty and authority that he’d listen to her teenage son. That strikes me as no f’n way.

Additionally, the one thing that I kept thinking was holy shite this would’ve made for an epic season finale. It’s insane what they did at the end of last season. Imagine that season ending exactly where this episode ends. One dragon and son dead. The burned king taken hostage. Raenyra clearly about to go psycho mad queen. The one new dragon rider about to defect. Aegon about to go fly out to challenge Daemon. It would’ve ended incredibly and setup an awesome third season. Instead we’re just kind of jolted right back into it.

That’s the only real complaint in my mind. Everything else, even while incredibly frustrating to watch, was perfectly believable and true to all of their characters.

O and thank god the bitch face or whatever her name is got killed. I almost had to change the channel when she was on.

My mom went through it, and one thing she said is that the chemo rooms were always freezing. We bought her a big blanket and these warm fuzzy boot slippers, and she adored it, still wears them to this day and has an awesome bond with them.

Something small to think about! She’s gonna crush it!
