They just shoeshorned in as much as possible with the maximum of fanservice they could achieve. Not alot of it made sense but apparently you just need string together "epic" scenes without any internal logic to get masterpiece television now? What a world we live in.

I guess the show now has the same target audience as Transformers. It got big enough anyway. It has to find the lowest common denominator. Just have big visuals and nothing else matters. Doesn't need to have coherent internal logic or good dialogues. How can this be the best episode evaah when in every scene you get pulled out of immersion thinking why the fuck would he do/say that in his position. But hey it had Dragooons and Ramsay died so 100/10. smh

I am only going to comment on this part because I don't even bother to address everything unbelieable farfetched anymore since people stay with their opinion anyway even though I don't see why. A dragon can maybe fly about 100 miles an hour (Very rough guess. One of the only real tidbits in the books is "Uncle and niece began to fly together almost daily, racing Syrax against Caraxes to Dragonstone and back". One way trip is about 350 miles. I don't think it would be fun the race like 12+ hours daily. So 100 mph seems about right. He was wounded so the numbers are probably quite smaller but it doesn't even matter much. The Dothraki Sea is about the size of Westeros. I doubt there are that many if any "peasants" in the middle of nowhere. Also why would anyone stare at the sky all day long? Is the dragon only flying near ground level? Why you pay that much attention to what direction exactly a shape in the sky was going? Especially if you don't have any anchor points on the horizon. As everything is just green?The dragon is not going to fly a straight line. The charred corpse Jorah somehow (LOL) found might be in the direct opposite direction of where he was headed. Now you found a clue but are going completly wrong way. When do you go circle back? How much food does a dragon need? He can surely survive a few hours of flight. How can anyone honestly believe you can track a dragon (when we cannot even track a plane with satellites) To the crop circle. The problem is not that there is a visible spot in the middle but that that spot is preserved perfectly. You are right a single horse / rider might avoid going through it but just the sheer number of riders do make it a neccessity that some go through it. Now your ring is trampled into the ground and probably even harder to find. Or are they just going to do their ridiculous circling performance again when they head home? If you look at the circle. It is actually not that small at all. Atleast a few metres in diameter with ankle high grass. Ever lost something in such conditions? Even if you stand directly above it you might not find it without brushing through the grass. Now watch the scene again if you can. Jorah enters the circle at the edge as the trampled part is clearly only a few feet away. He looks a bit into nothing then down and immediately finds the ring. He is not actively looking for anything. He just happened to stand exactly above it. You might argue that he would look for clues as he knows something weird was going on but that is that what happened in the scene. This is just one of many examples where absolutely lazy writing takes me out of the immersion. It would have taken a few seconds to include a scene where he is scanning the inner circle and going through the grass but why make it plausible when it was obvious that he would find it because he is a master tracker (why anyway?)

Other than the fact that the Sand Snakes just recently snuck into the palace, tried to kidnap the sister of the king and comitted treason? He souldn't be atleast wary of them? He doesn't even react before he drops dead on the spot. Also, you want to tell me that he cannot tell that all his men have such a contempt for Doran to commit treason? Men he spent the last years possible decades with day in day out? Not a single soul actually thinks maybe our ruler shouldn't die for missed petty revenge? Not one ounce honor in any of them? What is the point of having the other two Snakes in KL? They either have the guards already on their side or not. There is no way they can sneak up onto the ship without anyone knowing on the inside. Let the guards kill the prince. There is also no reason for doing any of that in the first place. Who is going to doubt you when there is no one to speak against you?

I can't get over the fact that people give this 8 points. The Dorne plot alone was so bad, I couldn't bring myself to give that number even if the rest was perfect. It is like someone shat in your ice cream and you still gobble it down and say : It was pretty good actually. I didn't like the shit but oh well. Let's go to the episode.What part didn't have atleast some problems? The Wall: Davos doesn't even know about Stannis/Shireen yet or doesn't care. Why wouldn't he enquire why Mel is there? He seems pretty chipper. They kill the LC and after a few remarks everything is cool. Rubs me a bit wrong but might still happen. Still don't like it. They have concluded that Thorne wants them dead. Why doesn't he just kick the door in at night and greet them with crossbows? There is no point in prolonging the standoff. Get some extra padding to not get bitten by the wolf. Dorne: Worst plotline on TV I have seen over the last years. My lover get's killed in a duel after his sister was murdered so I kill his family because they didn't react by suiciding thousands of lifes in petty revenge. Doran has no precautions against those Snakes although they planned some shady shit just recently. But they are family so all is forgiven. No need to check why two Snakes and a boat are missing. Said Snakes can get undetected onto the ship of the murdered sister of the king. Everyone on ship doesn't get immediately thrown into the dungeon or killed when arriving in the harbour. Captain of the Guard who is supposed very capable gets surprised stabbed in the back and drops dead after one stab from a little girl. The whole Guard commits treason. Meereen: Somehow Varys and Tyrion are now running the city without anyone questioning it. They have a happy stroll alone through the city altough a lot of shit happened. There is no need for guards. Everyone want's to kill them but their witty banter is protection enough. Somehow the whole fleet get's burned to ashes without annoying noticing. No one guards these ships. They all burn equally to the ground because the Harpies employed Ramsay's Sir TwentyGoodmen who can land a perfectly coordinated and timed attack on multiply targets. Dothraki Sea: Sir Friendzone and Fuckboi stroll through the grasslands and find the earing. Without addressing the issue of finding the area in the first place the inner circle is still a few meters in diameter but he immediately finds it without actively looking for something. He just needs to kneel down, How convenient. So a Khalasar finds a woman in the middle of nowhere and she doesn't get raped why? They go into the trouble of bringing her infront of their Khal almost unharmed? Why does she get special treatment? The Khal then just takes her word. Also, wasn't he one of Drogo's Bloodriders? Shouldn't he recognize her then? Was that book only? Winterfell: They go into the trouble of showing us last season that Brienne made her choice in chasing (and finding lol) Stannis but now she is able to track down Sansa again? You only need to be somewhere near Winterfell and you will be able to hear a hunting party of 6 Men and 2 Dogs , know that that party is looking for your girl and trial them too without anyone noticing ? And you turn up exactly at the right moment. How sweet. How did they cross the river with horses anyway? Brienne get's dismounted and they don't just trample her to death but dismount and make the fight fair again. Maybe they thought they could play with her. After she killed the first one they should group and not go in one by one. Somehow Podrik is able to fight seasoned soldiers after having a few sparing sessions. But that is reasonable because he has a big dick.

1/10 only because you cannot vote 0. Littlefingers Jetpack has reached mass production it seems. The Sand Snakes got one but they are greedy bitches so that was expected. Whole Dorne now hates house Martell and just commits treason but that's cool because other Martells got killed before and their leader didn't react. Girl Power Brienne also got one. How else can she find Sansa after being in a battle without a clue that she actually escaped? She also got some dope dog repelled spray on her. Danny should be either almost raped to death or be known for her white hair as Khal Drogos wife etc. I don't see a middle ground. Why would a whole Khalasar go into so much drouble bringing one woman infront of the Khal? Makes no sense. I wanted to stay away from S6 because S5 was already pretty garbage but my resolve got too weak. Thankfully this was probably the worst episode in the series and I can stay away for good now. Thanks DnD for your incompetence!

I gave it an 1/10 despite the good Stannis scenes. - absolute cringe inducing introduction of the Sand Snakes with pointless monologue to people who know the upbringing anyways - buddy comedy between Jamie/Bronn on a senseless quest - braindead LF plan giving away his trump card for fuck knows why. When he knows Stannis will win why not give her to Stannis or wait the until the ending of the fight. Why hand her over to a psychopath, whom he has apparently no knowlegde of? A guy who strolls through towns flaying people, yet it didn't even once come to his ears? COME ON! and here -500 points: The absolutely disgusting jobbing of the Unsullied and Selmy. I wish I could somehow ignore everyone who tried to defend that scene automatically so that I have never ever have to read anything what comes out of such a mind. The commander of 8000 Soldiers patrolling the streets. The head advisor/guard to the Queen strolling through the streets after prior attacks in a leather garb Getting "ambushed" and surrounded with ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING ODDS (like 2:1 in the beginning) and falling like flies to ninjas with unwavering stand even though their friends get killed next to them (formerly known as slave masters who never had to lift a finger) Yes the fight was absolut realistic: daggers in a super narrow hallway ( only like 5 metres wide) ambushing speers in armor (but still standing more than a speer length away from each other). Couch potates vs. Soldiers who trained their whole life. Yet the couch potates show better morale than the soldiers. They fight to the last man and are nimble as fuck. The Unsullied forget everything about formation and fight each for themselves. And instead of getting reinforcements the most renown knight in the seven kingdoms fights against an unknown number of enemies without any armor for the heck of it.
