She doesn’t want to ring those bells, but somebody more sensible does, and Daenerys hears the ringing, and another coin flips. Stubbornly, Cersei doesn't quit, even after watching her expensive army evaporate to ash. But her new strategy is simply to “not get hit” this time. I was under the impression that they represented a serious problem to Daenerys, a difficult roadblock she would need to overcome.
While it’s highly satisfying to see godlike might of Drogon the dragon, it’s more than a little strange that those giant crossbows no longer pose a threat. Thankfully, Euron Greyjoy finally runs out of Mary Sueness, and his fleet is annihilated in seconds. It’s not an even match - the Golden Company has about five seconds of screen time before they are turned to toast (lucky they didn’t bother bringing those elephants). Seriously, she destroys it the way Ben Shapiro “destroys” teary-eyed teenagers fresh out of their first sociology class. The long-awaited invasion of King’s Landing begins, and Daenerys DESTROYS Cersei’s army with FIRE and BLOOD. It’s a smart way to stop the conflict before it begins, and the final farewell between the Lannister brothers is deeply touching the two form the beating heart of the most dysfunctional family in Westeros.īut Jaime appears to be wholeheartedly embracing that dysfunction I’m a little confused to where his love for his sister is stemming from, seeing as the boys recently had a crossbow pointed at them by Bronn, an assassin bought and paid for by Cersei Lannister. Tyrion then goes to commit some treason of this own, freeing Jaime and instructing him to run away with Cersei. Daenerys agrees, emphasizing mercy, but only focuses on the future. Tyrion makes sure to emphasize, multiple times, that the sound of bells mean surrender, and thus, the peaceful conquest of King’s Landing. I rather like this development - Jon has always been a flawless white knight, and the fact that his iron-cast principles have been melted so easily by toxic romance makes Jon much more human an unhinged lover tends to warp one’s perspective. Jon, the reluctant king, and in this episode, reluctant boyfriend, hasn’t been much of a hero of late Daenerys has bent him into a coward. Ironically, he was a better man than Jon, in the end.īut it’s likely too late for Daenerys - Varys was shown to be writing a letter or two in the opening scene, and in the history of the show, letters have preceded massive plot twists expect the other six kingdoms to bend the knee to Jon in the final episode. Varys was, throughout the show, the only man who consistently cared for the people of Westeros. Thus, Tyrion and Jon Snow watch as their beloved queen burns her disloyal advisor alive. His motivations only make sense if you assume that Tyrion lost his mind after the betrayal of Shae and is now idealizing Daenerys as the perfect woman, so let’s go with that.
