Man, Daenerys is

Well it shows the importance of sending a forward detachment to secure the key terrain, then to provide forward recon and security from said key terrain.

And the importance of airborne force recon.

And the importance of a HUMINT intel gathering network.

Yeah, military tactics are important! I guess when you have dragons one gets lazy.

Ooh boy.

So, their idea to level the playing field was, for the 3rd (or is it now 4th?) time, to use Euron's invisible, teleporting fleet. Nice.

Oh and Cersei simply not killing Dany and Tyrion outside ~~generic set~~ King's Landing makes zero sense. She has wanted Tyrion dead since at least season 4.

These two twonks constantly have to use all sorts of BS to get around situations they've written themselves in.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

EDIT: Forgot, but why on earth did they cut away just as Bran was about tell Sansa & Arya who Jon really is?! I mean, it's not like it's important or anything...

Yeah, that would have been interesting to watch, more than the Jamie and Brienne sad sex show.

Well, so much for spoilers.

Agree 100%. It's silly to hide our posts behind spoiler tags when the whole thread itself is a giant spoiler.
Even those who are using the spoiler tags still leave bits of information that defeat their purpose.

For example a quick perusal of this page lets everyone know that Missandrei, Danierys, Jamie Lannister, Arya Stark and Brienne Man-Hands are still alive into season 8.

Sailor Steve · 05-06-19, 04:44 PM

As usual, the best parts of the show take place in the quiet conversations. The way people talk to each other is what drives the plot.

As for spoilers, on the one had I was just teasing Neal since he was the one who requested the use of the Spoiler Tags in the first place. On the other hand, it's not a matter of giving things away, it's a matter of respect for other people. Make excuses all you want, but if you can't be bothered to show any then don't expect any in return.

Onkel Neal · 05-06-19, 05:26 PM

Lets stay on topic.

Excuses? Sounds like you're saying that if we don't use spoiler tags we're being disrespectful to those who did not respect the thread title that says to "stay out if you don't want to know all"?

Basically, yeah. I'm not a gang-banger. I don't use "Respect" in the sense of "don't dis me!" I use it in the sense of showing a little care for other people's feelings.

And don't forget: I did say I was just teasing Neal.

Onkel Neal · 05-06-19, 09:06 PM

So, how about that radar-controlled scorpion battery?

Torvald Von Mansee · 05-07-19, 12:59 AM

The show completely jumped the shark after s8 e3. I don't think there's any real reason to continue watching it. Everything about this season feels like a rush job, like some verbose essay writer who notices he's reaching the word limit of his assignment and tries to abruptly wrap things up.
