The last time I had wine with Cersei Lannister we were in the Red Keep in Kings Landing and she was sitting on the Iron Throne. So after last Sunday's destruction, where is the freaking throne everyone is fighting over?
The last time I looked, Deanerys Targaryen had laid waste to not only the entire city of Kings Landing but the Red Keep in particular. Not once did I, in viewing the destruction, see the Iron Throne, and if memory serves me correctly, not a stone was standing by the end of Deanery's fiery ride. So where is it?
It seems everyone has forgotten about this glaring matter. The one thing that has been the power focus no one but me cares about?
If the throne is in the rubble, how do the unsullied get it out? We are talking tall buildings reduced to dust and boulders, and people with no machinery to lift and move them, so is the throne lost forever? Or, by some miracle is it just upended in a miraculous tumble or in a niche where the roof and walls missed it? Nah that would be too fantastic to be true and we know this series sticks to the real. That's a joke, R. Linda.
Here's another thing that bothered me, please tell me that the white horse that Arya rode out of the smashed city was not the horse that was dead at the first barrage where its Golden Company owner went down with it. The horse I saw lying down looked dead, not stunned. The horse Arya rode out on looked unscathed, just smeared with blood from its surroundings. So can't buy it's the same horse, THOUGH it sure does look like it from its confirmation.
The episode was disappointing in that Jamie had a wasted fight with Euron, I mean who cared. That he ended up in the cellar with Cersei to be crushed to death (maybe, just maybe . . . you never know, maybe the iron throne fell on top of them and saved them with an air pocket), wasn't how I saw either of them ending. I wanted to see the fire in Cercsi come out instead she was reduced to a teary, complaining child. Daenerys who I thought had a thicker skin turned into a monster just like the one she was Harry Pottering on. Too fast, too soon, too crazy for me to buy in.
The Cleghan bowl, equally as boring and I too wanted the Mountain to just die! The only one whose blood lust made sense to me was Grey Worm spearing everyone. His loss of Missandre was paramount in his mind, so his behaviour was understandable to me. Not that I condone killing innocents or anyone for that matter, it just made more sense why he did what he did.
Jon Snow is a wuss, is a wuss, is a wuss. And I'll let it go at that. Arya too, had me baffled. Here she was on her way to Kings Landing to reckon with Cersei. There she was pushing and shoving her way into the city with determination written all over her face only to be told by the Hound she didn't want to become like him so she turned and ran to get away and out of there. I was like did she take his words for meaning his looks, or what he was. Because it was crazy the sudden turnabout. That she conveniently found the pale horse, was another HUH? For one thing, after all the sound and thunder, that horse should have been a prancing mess and not wanting anyone to get near it. That it stood there was unique, to say the least. How tiny Arya got on that big animal well, I guess she's nibble, if she can shape change I guess she can levitate too.
The last thing that baffled me was the green wildfire. What's the hint on that I wonder? Is that the only kind of fire that can burn a dragon and a Targaryan? Is that how you get rid of Daenarys and Drogan? Just why were we seeing the wildfire blow up in spots? We knew it was all over the city, but what is the significance?
Well, I have managed to depress meself again. So far for a bittersweet ending, I'm not there yet.
