I'm disappointed titty witch didn't get her awesome tatties out and suffocate the Night King to death with them.

The author has dismissed the idea that Daenerys cannot be harmed by fire in the past. “TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE!,” he said during a discussion with fans. ‘The birth of Dany’s dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn’t immune to that molten gold.”

And then the tv show put her in the flames at the dothraki camp.
It seems they are basically ignoring GRRM...

Molten gold isn't fire though :nerd:

We all saw her not die of fire!

Seems like a reach from there to "all Targaryens are fireproof."

Irregardless (is a word), she should have offed Jon. Not having done so will create an issue later.

But where would they be without Jon's generalship and all-round military nous?

I mean, apart from significantly more alive.

Jon's not technically alive. He's a fire Wight.

Not really that crazy to think that's the case in a fantasy show is it?

Yeah. Too convenient and no foreshadowing

All of their actual fighting strategy was godawful. The trebuchets, the waste of the dothraki light cavalry, the unsullied suddenly being completely useless at holding a pike square...

The plan was to get night king into weirwood and kill him, so it worked! They didn't have the numbers for a pitched battle so needed to hang on until the pieces were in place.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

It did the opposite of hanging on though, it got them almost immediately overwhelmed and slaughtered en masse. Not getting everyone killed was also a key part of the strategy.

Also the dragons were largely nerfed by the fog. WTF? Why? The front lines aren't going anywhere, just fly around at a low altitude and fucking cook stuff.

Also, get the fuck off the dragon, Jon Snerr. It's not like it needed you there.

Also at no point was he holding on to that thing while it was upside down having a fight. They could at least have improvised some straps to make that look less ridiculous.

He's been promoted to the role in which he can do the least amount of damage: away from being the anti Sun Tzu and into the elite role of "dragon cargo".

To be fair to Snerr, we don't know who was head of God-awful Battle Tactics.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Apr 30, 2019 11:42

It wasn't terrible, it worked! It looked bad, but the result was what was desired just that most involved thought it was a straight fight rather than a bobble one guy plan.

Feel we define success differently.

You make about that sinks, it is a disaster. I make a boat that sinks, it is a surprise submarine.

Maybe they let the Dothraki hurtle to their heroic deaths and the Unsullied dwindle away at the gate so they could save on food afterwards. And ensure there was enough wine for Tyrion.

Can somebody tell me what happened in that episode? I could barely see a fucking thing *on the same monitor that gives me no problems with any other shows, light or dark*

I mean, if I were on the 'Stark' side of that alliance, it wouldn't be a terrible tragedy for most of Dany's armies and allies to be killed in the battle. Leaves it a bit risky against Cersei and that, but fuck her, she doesn't even have elephants.

I mean, it was dark as TV shows go; but I still didn't have a problem seeing what was actually happening. And I yarred it so it's not like I was watching in the most legit way.

I have just watched it. I have no idea who died apart from Theon, Tiny Child Lady, Eyepatch, the chap who looks like Barry Chuckle and Sir Friendzone. Did any other recognised characters die?

The Night King had a fairly bad day.

I enjoyed it at the time but I also agree with this:

The way the Night King died in particular was definitely an "oh" moment.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed May 01, 2019 7:44

Not sure I agree with all of that.

Beric’s arc is complete, yes, but only if you knew that Arya would be the one to take down the Night King. Ditto Melisandre.

Jorah you can say yes, he died saving his Queen, but his mission in life was to see her sit on the Iron Throne.

And the Night King’s arc was totally interrupted in a very GoT way.

GoT hit Radio 4 news today for last night’s gaff. Not sure that’s actual “news”.
