Daemon’s “say it” moment was awesome. Perfect timing and editing.

Never explaining the night king or the point of the whole thing was also horrific writing.

I can't even remember what the show said...wasn't it the forest kids created him to fight humans? The books are so far behind I don't think they've even revealed the night king yet if they even will.

You’re right. Totally forgot about that. Why his big plan was to kill Bran - aside from the obvious - I have no idea.

The character is awesome. I already like him more than just about any GoT character. He’s like the best possible version of Jaime, had Jaime been actual royalty and two handed.

Kind of a slow episode 9 but sets things up for an interesting finale.

After the scene with the kid in the window rubbing one out I'm resigned to this bullshit. HBO just can't help themselves.

That ending was similar to something we'd have seen in Season 8. Now that they know they have a hit on their hands they should fire the Rampage guy and hire someone who knows what they're doing.

Imagine being stupid enough to take credit for this scene. How does a dragon break thru several feet of concrete? Who knows. How is the old lady not crushed? Who knows. Why do they want the doors closed so they're trapped with a fucking dragon? Who knows. Is she evil now? She just killed a few hundred peasants after all. Don't think about it...its awesome.

Actually, Ser George Bush II secretly blew up the walls using thermite.

Things have to make sense even in a fictional world or the setting doesn't work. They already established dragons can't burrow thru rock during the battle with the crab dude.

While it's not the exact same thing, a dragon did take down The Wall in the original series.

Don't get me wrong. It's not something I think a real dragon could do but a dragon being able to break stone is as believable as most of the other things that dragons do.

It looked like the dragon noticeably shrank to fit through the doors on the way out.

A dragon also destroys the Red Keep in about 2 minutes.

Yeah I noticed that too. It also contorted itself to look like it was squeezing thru. I think that whole scene looked a lot cooler in their heads. There was also some bad green screen when he kept yelling to shut door and they would show her looking back at door. They did it twice and it looked bad both times.

To be fair, wasn't that a Zombie Ice Dragon?

They don't show us how he or she(not sure if the dragon has a preferred pronoun) go through most of the rock.

I'm sure the lady above gave it careful consideration they just ran out of budget to show it. They don't even have the ground shake as the dragon is supposedly tunneling with its snout while forming a protective bubble for the old lady with its wings. Its just bad VFX explosion and dragon sitting there. What is the name of her dragon? Deus Ex Machina?

It was bad. So was the head smashing of the dude at the small council meeting. The special effects aren't good. They can't get these details right.

Cole is allowed to kill whoever he wants for some reason doesn't matter if there are 300 witnesses or its the Master of Coin. I guess they are writing him as an incel.

The justice system under Targaryen rule does seem to have some wild inconsistencies. Defund the Kingsguard!

Alicent shoulda just let dude commit hari kari like he wanted to. Gets his dick wet one time and proceeds to lose his damn fool mind. Man like that is not fit to participate in polite society.

That's why I like Jason Lannister. He took his chance, failed to wed the heir to the throne, and now seemingly just chills around Kings Landing without a care in the world.

That’s his twin brother. Jason’s hanging out in his own castle without a care in the world.

This guy is the perfect Lannister, always bitching and giving out wise cracks.
