I do not understand why the writers spend half the episode as basically a joke fest - like some sort of Game of Thrones blooper reel, where each character is a caricature of themselves. And then! They rush through these HUGE plot lines. Eg - Varys and Tyrion sitting in the throne room. How many seasons of Daenerys proving her worth as queen, through countless challenging situations did we just watch? And in a five min chat, after barely saying a line all season, Varys has changed his mind.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed with a TV series. The mad queen narrative has come out of nowhere and stripped Daenerys of all her intelligence and Bran seems to have been replaced by an almost mute cyborg. It feels like writing by checkbox. My favourite part of GOT has always been the considered pace and time they spent on developing multi faceted characters. Season 7 wasn’t great but this one dimensional shitshow is something else.
Also, if you had the only two dragons left in existence and had already lost one through being careless and also happen to be travelling toward your enemy, with your now tiny army - wouldn’t you be a little fucking careful?! It stinks of D&D rushing through those checkboxes in an attempt to level the playing field for a final battle.
And breathe.

I think D&D couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag. They are morons. The justification for the dragon bit was that "Dany kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet". One of them wrote X-Men Origins, we should have known.
Poor GRRM.
