Game of Meh

[sonatine]

As episodes 1, 2, and 4 had little action this was my second favourite of the season but there are some big disappointments. The valonqar prophecy was ignored, Cleganebowl was a washout draw and yup, Dany is insane with power after all.

I didn't mind the Varys, Tyrion and Arya arcs but Jamie defeating Euron was pretty ridiculous too. Jamie is nowhere near as good a fighter with his left hand and Euron is a renowned badass. It was also out of character for Grey Worm to attack men who had surrendered. I suppose he was meant to be grief-stricken over Missandei but he's never allowed his feelings to override his military discipline before.

Roll on next week when John (or Arya?) will inevitably kill Dany and assume the Iron Throne. Perhaps Tyrion will think to ask Bran what happened to Tysha.

I agree with the Jamie point, but marked it up as Euron just finished swimming back to shore fully clothed so was physically drained.

As for Grey Worm, the whole lot are supposed to be incapable of feelings due to their training, basically robot soldiers.

its worth noting that grey worm tossing the cuff into the fire with dany could be construed as an understanding between them that missandei's last wish ("dracarys..") would be honored.

but again that would not really explain going after the civilian population of kings landing, which is exactly what they did.
