As per the dragons, I agree with Xant, but they possibly will explain it with something like Drogon being the alpha and the others following its lead. Since Dany controls Drogon then the others follow her too. But yeah, seeing her was horrible, can she do anything other than smirk when she is on screen? Particularly when she is with Tyrion and the wall breaks, Tyrion reacts, she just keeps her mask on...

Also there was one moment when Jon was fighting with horsemen all around, no way to know friend or foe, and arrows everywhere that brought me back to EU1. Loved it.
And wtf were the Boltons doing with pretty much an early Tercio? The shields and pikes felt very out of place imo.

But they don't explain how she controls Drogon. They show her teaching Drogon to breathe fire on command. That's like teaching a dog to "sit." Then they show Drogon going absolutely out of control and doing nothing Daenerys wants him to do. Then they show Daenerys having perfect mind control over Drogon, having him go precisely where she wants him to, do precisely what she wants him, etc., etc. It's like if you had a puppy Doberman, you teach it how to sit, then it goes fucking crazy, and next time you see it is when it's an adult and suddenly it's reciting Shakespeare and doing your dishes for you just because you make eye contact.

And the thing is, they made a really big deal out of the dragons being out of control, and not controllable. There were a whole bunch of scenes about how it'd be possible/impossible to train them.

And then they just go "fuck it, Daenerys is magical."
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Yeah but ur trying to make sense about a character that doesn't make sense. GRRM said Targareyns are not resistant to fire and the end of season 1 was just an one time thing. It was magic.

But D&D said fuck that in the recent season when she was with the Dothraki and made her fire resistant.

Rest in peace, Ramsay Bolton, rightful Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. He was a great tactician and commander in the field of battle, unfortunately he got betrayed by his wife,ancient houses that call themselves "honored", and bastard deserter Jon Snow.

The North will never forget the betrayal against Boltons. Our blades are sharp.

As much as Ramsey is a dick it's almost a shame because that's yet another interesting character gone.

Still kinda irritating that naturally it has to be girl power that saves the day yet again.

Nah man, you just don't get it... flying a dragon is even easier than flying an airplane and comes naturally to all Targgorillas. You know those spikes on his neck that she always grabs onto? Little-known fact, they're a couple of joysticks. Duh.

Replace Jon with Stannis and Vale knights with Manderly knights = Orgasm

Ofcourse Stannis wouldn't be so rofl stomped. Honestly, was I the only one really annoyed at the headless charging by Jon? Is he fucking retarded? Buu huu, my brother died, let's take on 6000 men by myself.

Still, I liked the episode, especially when the Vale showed up, I literally had some sort of climax and giggled like a little school girl.

What bothered me was how quickly everyone died and how nobody in the initial fight seemed to have arsed to bring a shield to the battle. Also the massive mountains of corpses seemed unreasonable and Jon's plot armour was showing a bit too much. Also it looked like there was far less troops in the battle than 2000 vs 6000.

I actually liked the scene at the end where the spears were closing in and Jon's troops got really clamped together.

I like how Sansa was standing in the tent the whole time while the battle plans were being made but she decided to wait until the end to complain to Jon that nobody's listening to her  :?
