1. Let me guess: they gush over it.

2. Jon will not kill Dany, or will he? He will most likely get in position to, like he did with Ygritte, but in the end the killing will be done by someone else, perhaps Davos. I think there will be a fight between Jon and Greyworm, and Jon will win this fight, but he won't be able to kill Dany. Not sure what Drogon will do at this point, he might not be killed at all and just fly away if Dany gets killed. But history repeats itself so I think gendry will also have a role in this, like his father did in his rebellion. Arya will definitely try but she wont do anything before Jon does, her loyalty to Jon is greater than her will to kill.

3. I think there needed to be some sort of 'inciting incident' before she
   started killing all the civilians. For example, maybe one of the
   scorpions spears, hits Drogon and temporarily grounds him(&her),
   and she hears the civilians cheering. In that moment, she fully realises
   she'll never be accepted/loved as a ruler and she snaps…

5. Cersei wasn't killed by a brick but Dany is going to die from a one-handed knight. ? Cersei was never that evil but mainstream audience fell for Dany. Wrong! Dany was always the mass murderer.

6. Jim's smoking crack that's why Jim liked it lol

7. Honestly l feel like this is more of a reset of history for westeros. If anyone else who can oppose her wants to rule then No one gets to rule and sit on the throne. There will be a new "throne"

8. Fire and Blood !!!

9. Dany is pretty much a mad dog that needs to be put down now! I saw this coming a million miles away! Madness death and destruction runs in her family!

10. Anyone saying the episode was bad because Dani broke bad have let their admiration for the character blind them to the numerous questionable decisions she has made and the inner conflict that has been core to her character as she develops. Stop misusing terms like 'character development' when you have only a half-arsed understanding of the other film processes that also underline and coincide with the term. Dani was always going to do the crazy thing, this was clearly foreshadowed in previous seasons and then reinforced by the constant failings she has recently had.

    For me this episode was epic, like most of this season I don't feel the pacing was off rather that there is a lot of cramming. Things that are being resolved here should have been given more thought in previous seasons. But for spectacle this episode was amazing, it left me shell shocked. Like most I didn't want Dani to go cray-cray but the way she did it and the effects of it were sobering. Also Clegane Bowl!!!!

11. The episode was epic.. dany’s transformation into pure evil — how did you complainers want this to end? Like a disney movie? ?

12. Its looking like Arya will kill Danny and Jon will kill her Dragon. Kinda like how Ned killed lady. Jon is the only one Drogon will trust to get close and that trust will kill him.
    Do we know what was said to Varis in the flames? Anyone? Too many questions left unanswered. This show has gone to seven hells and can stay and burn there for all I care, Wash my hands of it.

13. It's lit

14. for once you guys are on point, she always was meant to be an anakin/darth vader like character

15. Dany also lost her dragon. Everyone seems to forget about Rhaegal. Dragons aren’t just weapons, they are her family. She did what she had to do. King’s landing needed to be destroyed. She gave a lot of opportunities for surrender

16. dani chose fear

17. I guess mass shooter with bring a bell with them after this episode.

18. The war scenes this season feels so rushed, and kinda easy :p

19. Men do write history tho lol not sexist if its true

20. im just mad sansa stark might survive -_-

21. Oh hail King Bran Protector of the 4 Kingdoms…Maybe

22. When Dany said our mercy is for the next generations they should have called the guys in white to take her away. Its ok Dany. We ll take care of you now. Worst line ever

23. Said it elsewhere but will Drogon refuse a Dracarys command against Jon? That'll be a scene lol

24. hated it

25. TERRIBLE episode, TERRIBLE season.

26. I stopped watching when he said Dany is in character

27. I blame George RR Martin for writing so damn slow forcing the writers to wing it and put out the most disappointing season in tv history.

28. So leaks are real. ………worst ending ever

29. So Jon will kill Dany now?

30. ْ
