What I find particular interesting was the next to last one from Slate by the military strategist. That viewpoint reminds me what we did at Dresden.
Here's the full Slate article:

And what has that gotten her? Jorah and Missandei are dead, and Tyrion betrayed her. No one in this strange new world loves her, or supports her for any reason other than she has dragons. Even Jon won't bang her anymore.
Plus, she learned how to rule by the example of Khal Drogo.
So, fear it is.
I have no doubts that next episode Tyrion gets Dracarysed for letting Jaime go, his final act of betrayal, leaving Jon to play Queenslayer to save what's left of the kingdom.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Its only getting talked out of doing things that way by Jorah, Tyrion or Missandei that has kept her from doing so.

The problem with Dany going full Mad Queen isn't that she used to be a hero or that the show never foreshadowed it. There have been seeds, all the way back to Season 1 when she burned Mirri Maz Duur alive as vengeance for Khal Drogo's death. She has long been vain, ruthless and completely convinced of her own brilliance.
But the show spent far more time making Dany a hero, if a rather boring one. Making her Mad Queen Dany now is rushed, unearned and emotionless.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Originally posted by rufus View PostWell, that's true, but these last two seasons have been rushed. The show's creators are better adaptors than artistically creative.
In fact that's exactly why I shut Dexter off after 5 seasons and I was a HUGE Dexter fan. Huge. Never watched it again.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 8: Now What Will We Do for Boobies?
I think it's entirely possible that Dani looked around, realized the utter lack of brains or talent assembled under her, and thought to herself that if she was going to be a benevolent despot then she would have to depend on them so screw that.
Everybody with a shred of honor, stones, or brains is dead except Sansa who has all three in good measure but also hates her and has a psychotic Ninja kid sister.
Either that or Dani has been an elaborate metaphor for the US this whole time and, welp, crazy and violent.Last edited by Kepler; 05-15-2019, 01:52 PM.Cornell University

And, it was entirely emotionless like the quote I just posted. And when things are emotionless on the Telly you end up shutting it off.

Its all in the execution. Better writing would have made Dani's storyline more compelling.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Re: Game of Thrones Season 8: Now What Will We Do for Boobies?
Right but they were able to crank out a new season every year for the better part of a decade and for this season they had what, 2 years to complete it? And this is what they came up with?
I don't really even have a problem with the storyline itself or the plot developments, it's more how it's being handled and how rushed some of the plot lines and character development is. If I had to guess they went with GRRM's ending but had no idea of how to get there and so we got this super rushed ending where 2-3 seasons worth of plot lines got crammed into 6 episodes and they somehow had to make it work.
