I think they have developed it enough for it to have come out like that. As others have said, Dany has lost all her "calming influences" over the last couple of seasons. Remember back in Season 4 where Dany was getting ready to send the Second Sons to Yunkai and kill all the masters? Jorah was there saying "hold on, sister, let's try to do this without everyone getting a head lopped off." She listened to that advice after a moment to reflect. Plenty of other times she's shown rage at the situation and threatened to go off on a fire and brimstone crusade against anyone who opposes her.

Dany has been shown to be very impulsive with her anger at times when things just aren't going her way or the way she thinks they should go in order for her to get "the debt paid in full." Jorah, Barristan Selmy, Tyrion, Missandei, Jon Snow and others all tended to make her stop for a brief moment to think about what she was doing and mayyyyyyyyybe that isn't such a good idea. Who does she have as advisers?

Missandei? Her last advice was "burn this ************ down!"

Tyrion? She doesn't trust him.

Varys? Well, 'bout that.

Jon? Doesn't trust him.

Davos Seaworth? Probably won't trust him because of his relationship with Jon. I'd bet he's pretty much full raging Team Jon after what just happened.

Grey Worm? Likely not going to get good advice from someone who just lost the woman he loved.

Yara? Seems to have disappeared and is likely going to have to consolidate her rule. And probably will side with Jon after seeing what happened to Kings Landing and the Iron Fleet.

She's not getting good advice from anyone at the moment because she doesn't trust anyone and the last person she did fully trust told her to burn it to the ground. So, her angry impulses she's been shown to have the past seven seasons are coming on more frequently because, again, there's nobody rational and reasonable there to temper those impulses. This isn't a recent development. It has been building for several seasons in the background.

One thing about GoT that many have forgotten this season is the story line is like an onion with a lot of layers and depths. There is nothing that should be a surprise at this point to any of the folks watching at home. Everything that's happening now has been foreshadowed in some form over the last seven seasons.

No I agree with all of that, its just i don't feel the story has been continued and presented very well this season. There's a lot they could've done with very few scenes. Like on the boat ride to Dragonstone, rather than a time warp jump and a dead dragon, maybe a scene with Missandei where Dany is venting about things and then maybe mourning Jorah. Something showing how alone she was beginning to feel, but Missandei being there for her. Then maybe Dany jumps on Drogon, feeling rejuvenated and stronger than ever, only to then lose one of her "children" to Euron's scorpion shot.

Idk man. I'm not inept, but i'm no writer. However, this season is the only one where I feel they have screwed up some scenes that I think had many easy possible solutions. The episodes just have not had the same feeling to me during that first showing. I've come to enjoy each of them more and more after the fact. It hasn't been that way for any other season. I'm not opposing any specific events. Its that the writing feels different this season. Don't feel its been D&D's best and its magnified because its the final season.

Seems like she did to KL pretty much what her ancestor did to Harrenhal.

Also, it doesn't appear that Tyrion will be in a position to deliver Highgarden to Brohn. Looks like Tyrion is dead whichever way he turns.

Yep... I have no idea what he can do to change his fate. He is as screwed as you can get. He would probably rather die at the hands of Bronn than dragon fire though. He would have flown through the moon door in season 3 if not for Bronn.. and since you brought that up, I bet that is the way it works out. Bronn takes out Tyrion. That would be consistent with how this show has done things.

I'm almost 99% positive certain characters are only there for cameo appearances the more I think about it.

Of course, with recent events, Bronn probably needs to be happy with whatever he can get lol

Sure, if you are talking about a character like Hot Pie who was never a big deal to begin with but Bronn's 2 appearances so far this season would be totally random and unnecessary if he doesn't show up in episode 6 and actually do something of consequence. He was more central to the plot (at various times).

Yara is a fairly significant character, especially given recent events.

And she is... where?

I think Bronn will help Tyrion now that there is no reward for his death. Bronn joining up with team Snow would probably be best for him.

I'm guessing all the soldiers from the North will back the Stark house against Dany now. I'm sure there will be plenty of fighting in this last episode.

I have visions of an epic boss fight.. Dany on her dragon and grey worm vs. Jon and Arya. Maybe Brienne will be involved. Of course I was expecting something similar with NK/white Walker.

Holding down the iron islands last I heard. I believe her fleet took it back while Euron and his group stayed at KL.

Edit: maybe they're working on some scorpion crossbows of their own.

Yeah... I guess I'm looking at it more from a "why did they bother with this scene?" sort of vantage point. That scene with Bronn, Jamie and Tyrion in episode 4 MUST have had some purpose behind it or else this is some really poor direction we're seeing right now.

I’m looking for Bronn to rescue (or attempt to rescue) Tyrion just to get his money and castle. That’s been kind of his comic motif through the show; trying to collect more than an empty title from a Lannister.

But then I haven’t guessed right on anything right yet lol.

Couple questions in left with..

What comes of the letters varys wrote?
Where is ayra going?
What role, if any, does Sansa or Yara play?

Feel like a Jon/tyrian/Dany show down is likely...

I would say Jon, Arya and Sansa regroup the soldiers.

I would say one of those letters makes it to Yara and join in on taking down Dany.

really is annoying as fook that no cersei dany showdown. WW's should have had bigger role. Jon and Dany could rule together. we could have some live happily ever after

I'm thinking Arya got a little family itch being out with the people and trying to save the mother/daughter. The Hound snapped her out of her revenge mission. Going to get some Gendry - gonna tell him to put on the bull mask.
