Yeah that battle was p sweet, I'm enjoying Euron much more this season. If for nothing else but killing the Sand Snakes

rest of the episode was just alright, no idea why they spent so much time with Grey Worm/Missandei of all things again. It probably means Grey Worm's gonna die soon but I still don't give a shit about either of those characters

I liked the parallel to the Ned/Littlefinger scene from S1 with Jon/Littlefinger here. Can't really see Jon going anywhere though so I'm guessing it's gonna turn out differently this time

Theon/Jorah have gotta be building up to some huge roles in the climax, especially Theon. Not sure why they made him revert back to Reek again, I thought him helping Sansa escape was supposed to be him turning the corner

I feel like the Dorne ladies were just hyper-sexualized/corny characters so them dying meant absolutely nothing to me. It did suck though because Oberyn was my favorite character in series and this whole episode made Dorne look bad.

That's what perplexed me so much about how badly they've handled Dorne. They NAILED Oberyn and made him an even better character on the show than he was in the books. Then everything else that relates to Dorne turned into a bad CW show

The Sand Snakes weren't anything too special in the books but they definitely missed opportunities with Doran/Ellaria/Arianne. Ellaria actually bothers me more than the sand snakes on the show just because she legitimately had some great characterization in the books that they COMPLETELY reversed on the show. In the books she's the one that's trying to talk down the sand snakes from getting revenge (basically taking Doran's side) and expresses how futile revenge can be. Whereas on the show she's so ridiculously cartoonish, her "All Lannisters deserve to die!!!!1!!" line this ep was one of her worst yet. Doesn't help either that that actress isn't exactly the greatest

I have to admit I did kind of laugh when Qyburn excitedly pulled the cover off and it was just a giant ballista. Something about the mounting music and my mind racing with what magically monstrous thing he had cooked up this time made the reveal comical for me.

I def was expecting the Dragonbinder

The crossbow just feels like a Hobbit rip-off tbh
