I didn't think Jaime nor Dany-O were going to die (feels like their narrative arcs aren't over yet), but I could totally see Girion... Sorry, I mean Bronn dying here, possibly after having taken down the dragon (with him crushed by it?). Oh yea, I thought for sure he was going to bite it, I was kinda surprised that he didn't. I wonder if he'll last until the end, hard to tell. I also thought for sure Dickon was gonna bite it, was really surprised when he didn't! 2 hours ago, BloodBoal said: I wonder if it'll be the last time we'll see a ballista in action, with Cersei and co thinking of another strategy to bring the dragons down (or maybe they'll think about putting poison on the arrows or something). Ballista, thank you! I knew there must be a word for that weapon, but I didn't know what it was and hadn't bothered to look it up (I just called it a giant crossbow). BTW, in the "Inside the Episode" thingy after the episode ended, Benioff of Weiss called it "The Scorpion", which I don't remember any character calling it on screen...

Jaime did use that term when he sent Bronn to get it. I only knew what he was talking about because I'd seen the term before in connection with Aegon's Conquest. Took me ages to realise it wasn't referring to an arachnid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,519 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Dickon's confused probably because he changed actors. That's my only big gripe with this show: I'd be fine with having to remember tons of character's names and faces when they give enough time, but to change actors all the bloody time makes it pretty hard! I just assumed he was an other brother, and Mclaggen just got lost on his way because of Hermione's Confundus charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I don't think I've ever watched a show that had more characters change actors! The Mountain (twice!)

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's hard to remember if I noticed that myself or just read about it later. It certainly didn't throw me off or anything. Took it in stride. Also, I forget Daario exists when he's not on screen. Forgettable character I'm glad they didn't bring to Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
