But this episode showed us that she was able to conquer King's Landing with a highly acceptable level of restraint and lack of civilian casualties. King's Landing literally surrenders and Dany WINS the battle without having to hurt many civilians. So it proves that everything said before was total bullshit and that Dany should have went straight to King's Landing as soon as she arrived in Westeros and swiftly conquered it. Fair point. I wish they hadn't made it so one-sided and such a clean victory before the bells rung. It definitely undercut the premise of Season 7 and some of 8. It makes the entire battle of winterfell/white walker storyline even less meaningful than they had already made it I actually didn't mind that as much, though. That feels like the kind of subversion you might expect, having a sellsword company built up as this big challenge and then in practice being totally useless. That's okay with me. And, yeah, Cersei should have basically no one in her army any more otherwise, so that also makes sense that King's Landing crumbled more or less immediately. It's just if you take that thread of thought seriously, there's really no reason to take King's Landing at all lol. The siege plan makes more and more sense if you game it out. I just feel all of the foreshadowing people are talking about happening misses the mark when you remember the alternatives that were around and how those events actually unfolded. These narratives don't happen in a vacuum. When the antagonists in the show mutilate people for giggles and try to kill little boys to cover up their incest (I mean, you can go on and on for Cersei) the idea that someone who wants to burn slavers is bananas. Really big misfire from the writers if that was what they were trying to show! There's more emotional weight to Jon killing a little boy who betrayed him then there ever was in a dead slaver. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:921877925] in Stop defen...
