It was the exact same shot. It's clear the writers want us to twig that Bran saw this happen in his 'visions'. Why shouldn't he be able to see more glimpses of the future if he has the power to go to any moment in the past? Why is it obvious that he can only see that one moment? I must be missing something here.

Obvious
Ooookay.
They literally said it. You actually think he knew what was happening and then let it happen without doing anything?
A horse has no name.
A horse is no one.
But no one can have a name. And his name is Jaqen.
Maybe Bran is just a dick.
No the Bolton's joined the war against the Lanisters then changed sides half way through. They killed countless Lanister soldiers before changing sides the Tarlys stayed with the oath to the Queen.
This is the problem with his powers.
I'm sure there'll be many attempts to explain this, but none are going to make much sense. They certainly won't be obvious.
The facebook meltdown here in the UK and Ireland is going to be immense when team Dany watches tonights episode.
I remember that line being said outside the city of Qarth. Clearly a threat to the person who snubbed her. By the way "those who have wronged me". Yeah, all those poor little kids she burned to a crisp must have really wronged her.
Maybe if that quote said ""When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me. And if I am on the brink of victory, and the army has surrendered, I will ignore 7 seasons of being a just woman and burn as many civilians to a crisp as possible."
Yeah, I know Reddit had a field day upvoting that quote as some sort of incredible foreshadowing, but nah, still shit writing. But great spectacle I guess.
I'm still sticking with my 'brain damaged from the fall and this is all in his head' theory.
I don't think people have been blind to the possible madness of Dany it's just the execution of it that was poor and really really jarring. The reversal in 'humanizing' Cersei didn't need to happen, she IS a monster and whatsmore she's a crazy lioness driven by hatred and jealousy. To have her speak all of 20 lines in the episode and surrender to her fate so meekly was just not a good send off for such a fearsome character. In the same way Dany just flips the other way and is reduced by her massacring an entire population when the war had been won. There are so many ways they could have written this to better effect. There must have been at least 20 minutes of scenes of people being set on fire which just felt very jarring and desensitising in a weird way.

Bulldinky. Redlambs - season 8
Prediction for the last episode: jon escapes to argentina to become a lumberjack
I won’t lie I would very much enjoy a meltdown from the people who have built up Dany as the champion of womankind
Yeah, I can agree with this.
Cersei should have won at the end, but been lonely and miserable. It's an old tale, but one way better than we are likely to get now. I have a bad feeling about who ends up on the thrown, if anyone even does at all.
Bran? He says he's the memory of the world and that he lives in the past. That one very slight glimpse into the future is the only time he's seen the future, like plenty of different characters have through different magic btw. It's's never been shown or implied that he has complete knowledge of what's going to happen in the future so why would you assume that's the case?
You believe he had the knowledge that the city was going to be burnt to the ground and still let it happen?
The like/dislike bar and the comments. Have to laugh at the salt.
Me too!She was always a crazy bitch, but I feared for my life actually saying it anywhere
I think everyone should have their most trusted friend die in your arms (after being killed protecting you), your son murdered by an arrow through the neck (in front of you), your bestie beheaded at the order of your worst enemy and also find out you've been banging your nephew before judging Danny.
feck, if someone in front of me can't work the self-service till at Tesco I want to burn the whole place down.

feck i was proud of myself for that oneNobody will, they'll hit the reset button in the final episode and kill of Daenery and Jon. I just hope Drogon flies off away from this bullshit and joins up with Ghost and the Wildlings and become mates.
No she was planning on killing everybody who owned a slave. Thousands of people. Yes slavery is wrong and it was a great goal to stop it but it was something that had been accepted as the status quo. There are ways to stop it without taking thousands of lives.

Daenerys burning an innocent man alive, season 5...
Someone from Dorne will rule just to really piss everyone off
You are the only one making assumptions here.
I never assumed it was the case, I asked what his powers were. You said it was obvious, when in fact it quite clearly isn't. He has also repeatedly not told people important info right away too.
He has done nothing of any note to change any of the story. He may have sped bits up here and there, but has largely been a huge waste of time.
Well that made no sense.
It just proves that women arent fit for leadership roles.
Excellent point.
I hope the last episode is one long campaign trail, ending in a democratic vote and some intellectual point about Trump.
And the horse rides the Dragon across the sea.
Duffer Targaryen, first of his name, king of the shopping centre, breaker of self service tills.
Horse kills Arya, jumps on Drogon who commands him to burn Daenerys and Jon. Both fly off into the sunset?
Lover of plastic flags.
I don't know. Cersei is probably one of the most hated rulers ever. Most of the kingdom believes rightly that she and Jaime comitted incest thus making all her children illigetimate and she killed Robert. She also blew up pretty much all her allies in the sept, including the tyrrels, the priests and all the common folk in the surrounding area.
Cersei and the lannisters are universally hated by the common folk and other houses. The Targs had ruled westeros for hundreds of years and Rhaegar was loved by the people even though Aerys turned into a shitty king. Dany has the backing of Dorne, the north, the eerie, the rest of the Iron Borne and the riverlands.
She's in a pretty good position to usurp "mad queen" Cersei.
I think winning the Iron throne, killing her enemies and having a bad ass dragon is enough to rule by fear and power. It doesn't make sense to burn all your innocent subjects alive and turn the crown jewel of the kingdom into ash.
I still find the idea of all the common folk and lords of westeros just accepting Jon as a targ and the rightful heir to the throne a bit silly. The show's made a point of papers being without power hence why Cersei mocked Ned for having Roberts command on paper making him protector of the realm.
There is little to no way to prove that Jon is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna apart from Ned being to honorable to feck around.
Think we've solved another case Lambs.
Yeah you can go back and find loads of examples. The thing is that people had made reasons why they were acceptable until now.
This shit is too easy.
We should either become Screen writers (R&R) or open our own detective agency!
Such an unsatisfying episode, particularly the death of Cersei. For the biggest villain in the show to go like that, and for them to try and make us sympathetic for her is just so ill thought out.
I've just been talking with a couple of people at work about the latest episode.
The two biggest issues we all had were:
- Jaime & Cersei's underwhelming outcome. Jaime's had this redemption arc going since season 3 and gets no pay off. Cersei was a nutter and suddenly we're supposed to feel sorry for the poor terrified rabbit?
- Dany's sudden decision to burn everything. Completely out of character and a change like that needed a bigger, better explained build up imo. It felt really out of place seeing her burn everyone like that.
It feels so rushed, like they suddenly realized they had to finish the series when writing this season and made the decision to rush through. It's quite disappointing when you think about the story they'd told before season 8. There was some really good character development in there. Jaime's story especially was great before this season.

Far too emotional and hysterical
