Jaime leaving the north is the dumbest thing ever. What convinced him? That his sister tries to assassinate him? LOL at that story line.
Why doesn’t Arya tell Jon that she can kill Cersei with relative ease?
Plotting is awful, F episode. Hated it.
I agree last 2 seasons have been mediocre compared to earlier seasons (S8>S7 so far though imo), but these types of complaints are just stupid af.
*They clearly showed that the scorpions can turn around if necessary, they are not stuck in 1 direction.
*Jaime left because his sister tried to kill him & he got the news from Sansa that they might lose the battle. Not sure why this does not fit with Jaime's character.
*They clearly established that Jon is loyal to Dany, and I don't think Dany would be very receptive to Arya saying "jus w8 here imma kill Cersei for you". Arya is also not the type to tell everyone she's leaving ot kill Cersei.

Meh, seems reasonable for Cersei to not want to have the reputation that she'll kill her own family in a negotiated talk. Cersei won the meeting anyway by being able to kill Missandei unpunished.

wtf she expects cersei to do? "oh sry, heres your babe back, have a nice day dany, sorry i took her hostage briefly"
I agree it looked weird, but I don't think Cersei wins a lot by killing Dany right there. She is still facing the same problems if Dany is dead. And she loses any ability to arrange a peaceful meeting in the future.

If only the people with the dragons had any ****ing patience or common sense.
The show is making it very obvious that Dany is becoming paranoid & is acting emotional and impulsive. That's kind of the point.

There's a shot at the end where the entire space between Tyrion & Dany is in clear view, and Quburn was nowhere to be seen. Not sure where the **** he went. We're probably meant to believe he returned inside offscreen.

Evere scene with Ghost has looked ridiculously terrible. Also, was confused by the fire looking fine last episode and the fire from this episode looking like it was rendered in a N64-era engine.

The show has been making it pretty obvious that Sansa has a very strong idea about her vision for the future, and that there isn't much she's not willing to do. I'll bet she does even crazier stuff next 2 episodes!

At least they finally acknowledged the Dorne army again. That whole army has not seen any fighting during the entire show so that should be a pretty important force by now.
This tilted me as well, the show sent very mixed signals this episode. We never see a big army on screen, but during strategic discussion it seemed like they still have huge armies left? Tbh I still don't know what army is left after having seen the full episode.

Varys seems to have a plot ready. Knowing these showrunners, I think the show might end with Varys orchestrating a plot that gets rid of Dany and ends with Sansa on the throne.
I agree it looks like Varys will try & get Sansa on the throne & get Jon to take Sansa's place. Could be totally wrong.

Wasn't this just D&D trying to fill up screentime during a boring circle-jerk documentary? The Iron Fleet caming up during the strategic preparation for the battle.

Didn't they say during the episode that incest king & queen would never bring peace?

Jon going crazy & killing a bunch of people including Dany, and the series ending with a final scene showing Jon lving in isolation being a lumberjack would be a great hommage to the worst ending ever

Sorry if this post was rambly, this show has dropped in quality a ton but tbh the criticism quality has also dropped a ton
.
Also people should realize by now that even if a show maintains its quality, it's quite difficult to make an 8-season show end in a way that satisfies everyone or even a majority.
