It's hard to even really discuss motivations when the writing is so weak and paper thin. Really sad, this episode broke my heart because I knew it was the end of game of thrones being considered one of the greatest shows of all time. It still deserves credit for putting out 50-60 hours of tv on an unprecedented scale..... But it's hard to not feel bad seeing the writers drop the ball this hard.... You just can't try and pull off such a dramatic character twist without fleshing it out. They really needed the books to navigate this property. Because ultimately, what we got was a bullet point list of spoiler plot points , not real storytelling.

You've no idea how much I cried and still do at Cersei and Jaime's scene. My two favourite characters in the entire show 😭😭

I’m still mad that somehow Cersei is more human than Daenerys in this episode. The things that Daenerys did isn’t the problem for me, it’s that it feels completely out of the blue because they didn’t properly lead up to it. But as I said in my previous comment, I still love her as a character. Her story is full of inspiring moments and if they had executed it properly would’ve been fantastic.

Daenerys Targaryen

Aish, after you watch the last episode, you should watch this video. I think it provides a good description as to how the show ruined Dany's character. Some people say the signs were there all along, she threatened to burn cities to the ground, fire and blood, and all that. But I feel like at the end, she always did what was right for everyone involved, ESPECIALLY the innocent people! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8U6kjqLkJQ

Well, there it is. Obviously, no one will actually stand by Dany after this but it wasn't done right. At the start of Sansa's instigation most responses (some were certainly deserved) were unrecognizable as Dany's character. It's just a shame.

This is still one of my favourite episodes of GOT!!…Go Daenerys!!..This is exactly what I dreamt would have happened!..it’s unfortunate that civilians died, but Cersei really underestimated the beautiful dragon queen!..A lesson learnt!!

Timo Pahde

Tyrion's and Jaime's last moment together in that tent always gets me. Very underrated scene in this episode. 😭😭😭

Nana-Afia

They really used dany (and Emilia Clarke) to be the face and selling point of the show and then they discard her and her character like this... I was and still boil over watching these last 2 eps. This literally didn't make any sense for danys character. The main lesson about the iron throne/being a leader in my opinion is someone that does what's best for the people, and Dany has been that all 8 seasons. So why now throw her away. Why is she now the ultimate villian? Because women can't do anything? They need "tempermented" men like jon and tyrion to keep them in line? Its horrendous and ill never get over how they used her like this

I watch this shit and I get upset/feel betrayed all over again. Lol. Anyway, superbly directed. I just wish it had been in service of a better story.

How has she done what’s best for the people? She called the war with the dead “Jon’s war” and made it clear she had no interest in helping the North without Jon being involved. Jon’s the one who has always made real sacrifices for his people.

BuffySlays

If one can be “instigated” in such a way, then they were never stable or to be trusted. “Look what you made me do” is actually a sociopathic & narcissistic response to pretty much anything. If you think I’m just trying to be annoying, go and research it and the psychology behind such a thought process. It’s an incredibly important topic in my opinion.

So burning down a city of a million is just a small cost to you 🤨

Julien

Ultimately this fiasco is entirely because of the showrunners ego. It is perfectly understandable that after 8 years (more actually), they'd want to move on to something else. But they were unwilling to hand off the show to other people. The show was their baby, perhaps the most popular show in history, and it had to be theirs entirely. And perhaps they didn't trust anyone else to fullfil their vision. All of this is also very understandable! But they chose wrongly, and in doing so destroyed a huge amount of the goodwill they had built up thru their excellent work over many years, dimmed the legacy of the show, and possibly destroyed their own careers. It's tragic all around. But I and many others still adore the show, warts and all. That includes literally everyone here. ***Otherwise we wouldn't be here paying to watch someone else watch it.*** This is something that should be obvious to all, but somehow gets lost: there is not a single person here who doesn't love Game of Thrones despite their criticism of it.

We still don't have any idea how Danys entire arc will play out in any way in the books tbh. Her burning Kings Landing to the ground can play out in so many vastly different ways; so its impossible to really know what GRRM plans w/ her. I think the specific issues of seasons 7&8 fall on D&Ds shoulders. But zooming out, i think the diminished legacy of "Game of Thrones" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" overall falls on George's shoulders. At this point, i think its safe to assume the books will never be written. And while I don't feel entitled to them (some ppl are awful in this regard), in some ways he dropped the ball even harder than the showrunners. Because this is HIS world and characters. Until he writes it, there is no real ending to the story. Only GRRM knows Daenerys through and through enough to write this. If he never does, then there will never be a satisfying explanation as to what happened to her.
