Game of Thrones Season 8 Discussion Thread

[Blair]

After episodes 2 and 3 I was regaining faith in the series (although I would have liked to see someone materially important die) but god that last episode.

Dany once again shows she has absolutely no military strategy; I really disliked how when she had the Martells, the Tyrells and the unsullied she stupidly lost them as she decided to sail her army around Westeros rather than just land them and March on Kings a Landing.

The same applies for this episode- I can’t work out if they’ve written Dany to be useless or if they’re just being lazy and wanted to level the decks.

I lost interest in the throne chase when they just made Cersei Queen somehow; even as someone who loved the political plotting miles more than the magic, I feel they’ve really rushed and messed up large chunks of the political story

FWIW does anyone know what's happened to Dorne's Army?

There is a theory going around that the Golden Company may betray Cersei and support either Daenerys or Aegon (aka Jon Snow) for the Iron Throne.

Thoughts?

The Golden Company has the sole aim of getting rid of House Targyaren; there's a line in the books where they say 'some contracts are written in ink, others are written in blood'.

Not sure how many people know but they were set up by a bastard strain of House Targyaren; and for them to flip it would pretty much require a huge part of the lore to be changed.
