Also, I think it's hilarious that "the new prince of Dorne" still never got a name.

I thought the first half was pretty good. I mean, I wasn't crazy about how we got there, but at least it didn't mess about. Tyrion gave Jon a hell of a pep talk, and then he went and whacked the mad queen. Everything after Drogon flew off, however, was pretty silly. Hack dialogue and some very odd choices.

Poor Xharo. If D&D owe anyone an apology, it's him.

That's why I gave it an 8. It's how we got here that's been the problem. If it had been developed better, I think more people would have appreciated it. But I thought the episode itself was much better than it's been reviewed here and elsewhere.

Not many of them, but more than one. The big difference here was that she didn't burn the city to solve a problem. Once King's Landing surrendered and Daenerys decided to kill everyone in the city anyway, we moved into territory not even suggested before last night. I can certainly see how the show might have gotten her to that place, but they skipped all that work, and that's why both viewers and critics have expressed disappointment. It's not that no one could see this coming. But how it was done was rushed and sloppy.

It was pretty obvious from before the credits rolled which direction this was going to go, huh? Tonight's episode was a compellingly horrifying spectacle that resolved the fates of several major characters and cemented the fates of others, and I would have really appreciated it more had Dany's decision to murder the entire city of King's Landing after they surrendered to her made a lick of sense, given her behavior during the first 70 episodes. I said that, barring some ridiculously out-of-character turn from Daenerys, calling her The Mad Queen would be terribly unfair. Well, mission accomplished. Was the Night King the big baddie? Nope. Cersei? Nope. It was Daenerys all along, I guess. So how do you rate an episode that is so well shot, so well directed, so well performed, and which intentionally assassinates a main character's character? I have no idea. Edit: What the hell, I'm giving it an 8.

[Poll] How would you rate episode 804?

There's been a lot of that in this already shortened season. Maybe they should have just made a 3 hour movie.- 244 replies

I was writing a list of all the things that made no sense, but I realized I was just annoying myself. This episode was a mess. Still, 6/10.- 244 replies

Oh come on. She has zero value on a battlefield. She'd just have been someone other people had to die to keep alive.

I didn't say I was satisfied. I said: ¯ \_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, well they didn't show him for a whole season last year. I refuse to believe it. Present the body!

That happened? I was hoping Ghost escaped like Jorah and the others.

I gotta think GRRM would have shared when, where, and by whom he planned to have the army of the dead defeated. I mean, maybe not, but it seems like grasping at straws.

Better lighting in Return of the King.
