When Robert Baratheon was trapped in Stoney Sept by Jon Connington, they rang the bells when Ned Stark and Hoster Tully brought their combined forces down upon the city, thus naming the conflict The Battle of the Bells. Last night's episode tried to use bell ringing to signal a surrender, but Dany's "Targaryen madness" kicked in and she totally annihilated Kings Landing and leveled the Red Keep, killing innocent common folk in the process. D&D turned Daenerys (breaker of chains and mother to slaves) into a crazy ex-girlfriend with a high-powered dragon.
What the hell did we just watch? Seriously. They gave us the fan-fav Clegane-bowl, but poor Sandor! Undead Gregor cannot be killed, apparently. The only thing I liked about that particular part was how Gregor picked up Maester Qyburn by the neck and dashed his head against the rubble, which is what should have been done with this script. Speaking of Qyburn...every time I saw him I was expecting Arya to be in disguise, but I was sadly mistaken. Arya spent the entire episode running aimlessly through passageways and streets, then dragged a mother and child out into the open to die. How many times did rubble fall down on top of her? Three? Each time I was expecting to see her dead she'd open her eyes and take off running again. The trampling scene was hard to watch - as was Sandor's eye gouging by Gregor (that really sucked) - but I'm sure D&D were trying their hand at symbolism by having Arya come upon that bloodied white mare. What do you suppose they were trying to communicate with that scene?
I think what set Dany off was that tepid kiss from Jon Snow. Jon is grossed out by being in love with his aunt. Incest is not sitting well with this boy, and it pissed Dany off - that, and holding onto and then burning Missandei's belt (?). Grey Worm was down for an extermination, so nobody was listening to Jon when he was yelling to "stay back". Hey. I thought people were drawn to him and he's a natural leader? Ummm, was that the Golden Company that threw down their swords??? It's just now dawning on me that guy leading them was Harry Strickland. Last night I was like, who's that guy? That had to have been the stupidest appearance of a new character in the entire series.
I weep for how stupid they've made Tyrion, Jaime, and yes, even Cersei. Jaime wasn't even phased when Euron told him he'd fucked the queen. Shouldn't Jaime have been driven by jealousy to at least try and strangle her? Wait. I guess it would have been hard to strangle her with just the one hand...
Where did the reserve Dothraki warriors come from? Didn't they all get wiped out by the Night's King?
I have a feeling Jon isn't going to be calling Dany is queen anymore when he gets back to Dragonstone.
I've got the perfect ending for this shit show: Dany will have Drogon burn and eat Jon and Arya and then fly to Winterfell to burn and eat Sansa. Lastly, Dany will stand in front of Drogon and say "dracarys" so he can burn and eat her too. The story ends with Bran in his wheelchair with his eyes rolled back in his head dreaming of Spring. The End.
