As Jakey already suggested, I'm a fan of pork sausage.

Nah, it's just that I find it too convenient to impose those as gamechangers and not some witty characters instead. Why not just let Daenerys win with her regular army here? It's just too much "magic" sometimes for my taste

you're implying they're unskilled. They're clearly not and also the moment of surprise was on their side even without the dragon

No I mean like theres a difference between Knights in armour and trained etc. Fighting knights is a lot of difference to fighting in Essos. Remember the pit in Mereen where Jorah rekt everyone else, Jorah isn't particularly special in terms of combat in Westeros. In terms of experience the unsullied aren't that well off.

The unsullied have been 'made' for warfair... How are they not experienced?
And Jorah won a tournament in Westeros. Thus clearly being above average at fighting.
Before they (unsullied) were liberated we constantly heared how good they were. Discipline, phallax warriors, etc. So I doubt they're 'not good'. ^_^

Those weren't unsullied, anyway numbers matter. Iirc she has 10k dothraki and in that little army with Jaime were like 300 dudes at most. Definitely didn't need a dragon but then again why not

Dothraki are pretty sick in open field and on horseback, I actually don't think a mounted dothraki would lose to a mounted knight 1 on 1 in the scenario from the battle in last episode.

Robert Baratheon once said: "Only a fool would meet the dothraki in open field".

She did listen. She didn't attack Kings Landing with the dragons. Snow and Tyrion didn't want her to kill city and common folk. Nothing was said about an army if I remember correctly.

Yeah but I think that was just stupid, all Bronn needed to do is point his sword downwards and he would've cut the guy's face.

And I don't think Bronn "didn't have time to react" or "was too schocked to react". Bronn is a veteran who knew the Dothraki live their lives on horses.

This can happen; one of the ways it can happen is when abandoned mines fill up with water. We know the Tyrells had a lot of gold, so perhaps there was an abandoned gold mine there. It is possible to have a gold mine in an open field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_mining (on the right you can see the Super pit gold mine in Western Australia, which looks like it is in an open field.

ah right, for a moment I thought it just had to do with using the dragon in general just now. But she's bound to not listen at some point. So I might as well correct myself and say "doesn't" instead of "didn't"

im not questioning the fact that this is physically possible (we are watching a fantasy show here anyway :P ).

i just found it randomly amusing that fine mr. jamie was doing sum horse riding in shallow waters whilst 2 meters to the right to him there is literally the fucking mariana trench and that other fella (who escaped twice a full petard explosion sized dragon fireball by jumping 5 feet) thought it would be a wise idea to tom cruise jump save jamie IN FULL FUCKING ARMOR into the mariana trench where he sank 36.000 feet deep in armor down to whatever there is in a game of thrones world but at least hes save from those "easy to dodge fireball but only if you are still relevant for the story line and not a generic lannister soldier" - dragons.

I didn't like those scenes very much either, but perhaps I can still find excuses for them.

For Bronn surviving Drogon by jumping 5 feet:

If he jumped and went under the wagon, I guess he could've been ok. Drogon was hurt so maybe he couldn't breathe as much/as hot of a fire as before. Drogon also breathed a lot of fire just before this, so perhaps his reserves were a bit depleted.

Drogon also wasn't so concerned about killing Bronn; his top priority was just disabling the ballista so that he can land witouth threat and have Danny remove the arrow from him ASAP.

Hmm if they do survive I don't see how they could escape capture, but we will see.

Anyone else hate Arya now? Wtf beheading leaders for "insulting" Jon? And then expecting their armies to still follow? Is she a complete idiot?

The show has largely turned to shit, story wise. I am too invested personally to stop watching and simultaneously disappointed enough to read where the books left off. It's some sort of corporate wet dream GRRM and HBO have crafted more cunningly than any GoT plot...

I'm a sort of sad, incessant fan hooked - not satisfied - eager to become satisfied.
