Game of Thrones Season 6: Inside the Episode #9 (HBO)

They never explained that how cavalry movement of Vale forces goes Ramsay and his man never get to know about it.

So I have to come up with my own explanation.

Jon has incredible luck, I suppose. I can buy the idea that he is a great swordsman who can take so many people at a time but missing arrows after arrows in the danger zone, you need greatest of luck.

Jon also get some of the fastest reaction time with his hand eye coordination. After fighting for that long and he still able to protect himself from just a shield.

Amazing

Omg people are STILL whining about season 8 lol it's like it's a trendy bandwagon to trash Dan and Dave for choosing to make Daenerys a flawed character who has actual human characteristics. Even though everyone KNOWS those same people would be complaining about her being a "Mary Sue" if they'd have gone the other route and crafted an arc for her like Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman or Rey from Star Wars!

She is NOT like her father.

Finally saying "screw it" and murdering a bunch of people in King's Landing makes PERFECT sense after enduring everything we all watched her endure, especially at the end when we watched the man she had fallen in love with turning his back on her after claiming HE was the rightful heir instead of her. And that's on TOP of her having to watch Cersei execute Missandei, one of her last two remaining dragons shot out of the sky and losing OVER half of her forceshelping to protect Winterfell instead of just taking King's Landing like she wanted to, only to have Sansa continue making things difficult for her still.

Of COURSE she got pissed and snapped!

Just like they said in THIS video; "Jon is a deeply good human being, but you push anyone beyond their limits and they snap."

And they were only talking about Jon who had just watched Ramsay kill his little "brother."

When it happens to Daenerys, it's after she'd lost virtually EVERYTHING she had worked for, and everyone she had grown to love and trust turn their backs on her, even AFTER she had essentially lost everything due to playing by rules her opponents weren't bound by in the slightest.

I watched people get so impatient about Daenerys getting to Westeros and finally taking the Iron Throne, I've heard the phrase "spinning her wheels" about her time in Meereen for a couple seasons now.

But, it took her until this episode JUST to get A Horde of Dothraki Screamers, a Legion of Unsullied, a company of Sellswords "the Second Sons" and three virtually full-grown dragons, ALL together in her service, but, more importantly, she has been learning HOW to rule while in Essos because she's already established she knows how to conquer. And, taking King's Landing is the easy part. Holding on to it is the REAL trick.

It still isn't until after the next couple episodes, though, that she's truly ready. Because that's when she gets her Westerosi allies and the fleet of ships necessary to get her and all her power across the Narrow Sea once and for all.

Learning to be a Queen may not be as exciting or action packed as some would like, but it's HARDLY a waste of time.

And, if she had listened to the advice of Lady Olenna Tyrell when arriving at Dragonstone, she'd have been Queen of the Seven Kingdoms at the start of season 7.

But, the "good guy" standard everyone insisted she maintain ended up being a detriment to her success, because she was forced to play by a different set of rules than everyone else.

While Cersei had absolutely NO qualms about how she gained and kept her grip on power, Daenerys was expected to behave more "admirably" and more honorably.

A situation that eventually led to her decision to burn the Capital, men women and children alike, and pledge to continue her newfound reign of terror into the foreseeable future until she was inevitably stopped by Jon Snow.

Circumstances out of her control led her to become an antagonistic character.

Watching her friend and closest advisor get beheaded, two of her three dragons get killed, and slowly losing everything she'd worked so hard to gain over the course of seven seasons, all because she was expected to be "good," and everyone was SO surprised when she finally snapped lol the show was brilliant and better than most others on television because it always depicted morally "grey" characters.

Even Daenerys, who had always been portrayed as the primary benevolent "good guy" protagonist, who always acted out of empathy for everyone else had her breaking point.

And, whether people liked it or not, what happened HAPPENED and there's no amount of whining or complaining that's going to change it.

THAT'S Good Storytelling. 👍😊

If you prefer a story in which the "honorable" characters always defeat evil, and the good guys always win, you should NOT enjoy Game of Thrones whatsoever. Because it has NEVER pretended to be ANYTHING ELSE but what we got.

The only problem I had with the episode was when Ramsey said his hounds hadn't eaten in 7days, Sansa wasn't there

0:54 So that was a fucking lie

Proof that Dany’s character was not planned or foreshadowed to go “Mad” since the beginning of the series as some people keep saying! They made that decision when they probably started to write Season 8. So yeah….her going “Mad” like her Father was such BS! 🤬

"she's not her father, she's not insane, she's not a sadist"
Then in s8 they turn her into Hitler. How does that work?

D&D in season 6: "She's not her father, she's not insane, she's not a sadist"

D&D in season 8: "Well she kinda forgot that she's not like her father"

:52-Well, what happened?!

Can believe they just said at 0:52 that "she's not her father and she's not insane", and two seasons later they do this bullshit!!!

"She's not her father, she's not insane, and she's not a sadist." What a difference two years makes 😅

eu nao canso de ver essa cena mesmo tanto tempo depois, obrigada por isso

They put great job into this great show good work people ❤️

Love tbe way u did tbis scene awesome.

One of the best episOdes throughout..adrenaline rushing in nd out !

I didn't like that smile. Felt too "Hollywood" to me.

I think in not telling jon about her secret littlefinger army, sansa is at fault for rickons death.
