I’m not even saying it’s a plot hole, just interesting. It’s something that it seems is an open secret and even a mythic story in Westeros and yeah, Dany didn’t grow up there but this is her dad we’re talking about. That’s why Jamie had to kill him, Tyrion explains.Ĭatherine: I found it very interesting that Dany apparently never knew this story. And Aerys was going to burn every man, woman, and child – loyal or not – rather than lose his city to the Lannisters. When the Lannister army was at his gates, Mad King Aerys had wildfire hidden beneath the castle, the Sept, all over Kings Landing.

Discomfited, Tyrion reminds her of her father, the Mad King Aerys, and tells her a probably-super-relevant-to-the-finale story (note: I’m writing this before watching the finale) about Aerys’s madness. He faux-calmly tells Dany that the city is doing fine, the people love her, everything is good except for the people trying to murder us right now! Dany’s not buying it, and she wants to immediately crucify the masters, burn their ships, kill their soldiers, and raze their cities. Somewhere inside, Tyrion tries to pretend like everything is totally under control, even as the walls around them shake from the impact of the cannons. Anyway, Dany just watches the chaos from the top of her pyramid. The corpse count for this episode is already at “several” and we’re like 15 seconds in.

The zoomy cameraman follows along with the burning cannonball, soaring through the air and finally landing and tearing motherfuckers apart in Meereen. The previouslies remind us that the battle for Winterfell is imminent, Shireen Baratheon loved the toy stag that Davos gave her (see – I’m already crying!), the Greyjoys are en route to Meereen, and the slavers are trying to blow up Dany’s pyramid just as she deboards her dragon.Īfter the credits, we’re on a boat (not Gendry’s, sadly) ( C: The search continues) preparing to lob some giant balls of flaming crap at somebody. Are you ready for a BastardBowl?Ĭatherine: Get hype! We’re probably gonna be in tears before this is over.ĭiva: We’re probably gonna be in tears before this starts. Previously: Jamie and Brienne reunited at Riverrun, Dany returns to rescue Meereen, the Hound starts his vengeance tour, and a Nameless Cunt gets her ass face handed to her.ĭemocracy Diva: Ladies and gentlemen, you could’ve been anywhere in the world tonight, but you’re here with us in Winterfell.
