Having that scene immediately follow the stake scene was clearly intentional to give the viewers something to cheer for after such awfulness, but it had the opposite effect on me. The stake scene had me feeling jaded and disgusted with the show and that led me to picking apart the dragon scene in much the same way that Z just described. It was 100000% obvious that Drogon would come save the day. The fighting was amateurishly choreographed. The horde surrounding Dany just stood around waiting for, um something? It was not nearly well enough done to distract me from the distaste of the previous scene.

The stake scene was worse than The red wedding IMO.  The only scene that could've helped wouldve been the battle the week before.

I think most of the reason why the Harpy's didn't rush forward is because they know the Unsullied are a much tougher opponent when they're in formation, rather then individual and engaging in guerrilla warfare fights. Being in formation around Dany is the type of fight they're trained for, and they're supposed to be the best in the world at it. Harpy's were probably just a little bit nervous rushing into that.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Obviously security wasn't so great at the gates to the stadium to have all those golden masks snuck in.

NBG, Dany just passed the Patriot Act. Security problem solved.

It takes too much analysis of their motivations by the audience to bother coming to that conclusion. This is a TV show. A TV show predicated on action that was trying to distract its viewers from the preceding scene. It was poorly done.

Couldn't agree more on the Gladiator battles.  Should have gone with choreographers from Spartacus.  The stadium looked great.  I keep waiting for burning Shireen to end up being pointless since Stannis isn't a true king.

Hahaha I quoted the wrong post. It was aimed at Munson.

As far as that little girl goes, I'm still holding out hope that her being half a stone man leads to some sort of redemption from the stake. Not likely, but, whatever.

As an aside, I'm even more disgusted with myself for discussing this semi-seriously than I am about speculating about off-season football.

I literally have no idea what this means.

Zanshin

Oh, you were talking to RJS and saying "I hate when." It's like a puzzle.

Yeah I also hate posting via my smartphone and looking anything but with autofill.
