El Ramster Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Would have more people been happier if it was Cersi setting the city on fire instead of Danny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finally gets Brienne after risking his life for her and leaves Cersei and then just rolls on back to KL for her? I think that might have lost some power because it was rushed. I think it would have worked better if he had a couple episodes to doubt his decision to stay with Brienne instead of hitting and quitting. I feel like peoples gripes are becasuse the show is fast paced now when the first 5 seasons were extremely slow and dramatic. They basically put 50+ 1 hour episodes into character development and they have tried to tie it all up in 7 episodes this season. I think people dont like the fact that this isnt a 15+ year series where they can spend a entire episode for 1 persons death scene. Its more of a pace thing I think that people are complaining, because outside of that--I have no idea how you could have just watched that episode and say it was bad.

Her fleet was just completely destroyed and she was down to one dragon. Her army was battered from the fight against the dead and then the fleet massacre. In the scene before they were ambushed they said that the forces were just about even strength. How exactly was there no question that they would not win that battle? They were even strength before they lost their second dragon and their fleet and now without those they are somehow certain to win? Read my edit. The entire plot line the last 2 episodes was about "should we stop Dany before she murders millions of people". It was never "Dany might lose". Even in the tent Jaime is grasping at straws that Cersi has a chance. You can interpret it any way you want... but I think you are all alone in thinking J ran back because C was going to win.

Speaking of... did some of that fire look tinged green to other ppl too? That would be cool if they showed that to say there's still some caches of wildfyre placed around the city.

Cause he thought wildfire was about to go off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mad king had it all over the city, I doubt they were able to get rid of all of it after his death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's pretty easy to see how people are confused about Jaime's story line was. I mean he started off as a complete ******* and then had a four season redemption arc and then randomly undoes all of that work in a single episode more or less out of the blue. I really don't think it's hard to follow how that might not please some people. It's a bit like the Bran story line, why invest seasons on story lines with no real point? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 20 minutes ago, Matts4313 said: How? Because from the start of episode one through the entire show Jaime has stated repeatedly that the only thing he lives for is Cersi. There has been 0 variation from that. The closest you could make an argument for is that he went to fight the dead, but even then he ran home to her the first sight of trouble. At no point in the show did it ever seem like he would kill her. Obviously the books are different. This guy sacrificed his honor for the rest of his life by killing the Mad King so he couldn't burn millions of people to death and they literally had him say "i've never cared for the innocents of Kings Landing" this episode Wut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of an army surrendering doesn't mean the "country" or "head of government" has surrendered. And continuing to fight people that have not yet surrendered is not rejecting the other part's surrender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saw that the dragon fire was setting off wildfyre so they weren't safe anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have missed that though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
