Armies don't fight long w/o food.  Gold in the end does them no good during a siege.  So the iron bank gets theirs (do they ?) but what's really important to cersei are those supplies and they're all gone.  Logistics is what wins wars ! I thought that was a really smart by the creators. 

I understand that but Daenerys armies need to eat too.  They went to an abandoned dragonstone which probably had little food.  She then sends her forces to Casterly Rock which Jaimie said they cleared out of food before the invasion.  Food is going to be an issue for her and Jon Snow's men.  I would think that they could have captured those supplies and used them instead of turning them to ash.  Maybe they saved some of it but the whole scene where the dragon just destroys a long line of supplies instead of the of the soldiers that were on either side of the supplies seemed to me like a waste.  Maybe they eat all the dead soldiers and my whole point is moot.

I mean, it's weird to say this since she unleashed drogon and the dothraki on them, but I think from the previews it seems that she doesn't annihilate all of them deliberately even though she clearly could have.  You're right about the supplies for her troops.  We'll see how they resolve that.

Daenerys army can forage and create a supply line. If anything the Dragons can airlift food in. Losing this siege would be the worst management of resources in the entire series.

The only thing that is going to save Cersi is the army of the dead rolling up Daenerys rear and forcing a truce.

I just got a chance to watch the episode.... tried to sneak it in before the Angels game started... I don't think I saw any of the game before the 5th inning. 

My heart rate was up for at least a couple of hours. Talk about intense.

I really enjoyed the episode save for 2 things.

1. A giant crossbow is able to wound a dragon? These people have been fighting against dragons for a thousand years with crossbows and no one thought "let's make a bigger one" until now?

2. Dragon fire melts thick castle walls made of stone. It vaporizes humans instantly. But being 5 feet or less under water protects you? Jaimie would be boiled alive.

Sounds like a good idea for a myth busters episode.

Dany wants to make some more dragons with Jon Snow.

This episode had a good meme in it, also a bombshell that was revealed in passing.

[IEAngelsfan]

Dany got a little hot when she saw how Jon handled her dragon.

This is hilarious.

I started laughing out loud when Gilly read it and Sam just completely ignored her.

[Schildog]

Makes sense though. He doesn't know

[UndertheHalo]

Dang, GoT all star squad rolling north of the wall.

Yep. Arguably the second biggest reveal in the show after who jon's mommy really was and it's dropped into a discussion of bowel movements!

scene with Jon and the dragon was similar to another scene awhile back  

 

[Chuck]

Good episode. How many are left in this season?

[NJHalo]

Nice of Gendry to finally show up. Even Davos made a joke about the rowing

Yea that was hilarious.  Good on the creators for acknowledging that joke.

Yeah, that was the meme I was talking about.

Not just who Jon's mom was, but that he wasn't a bastard because Egon married her and annulled his marriage to Dany's mom/aunt.

[NJHalo]

I think you can read in Daenery's face that, she is not feeling the same superiority complex with Jon that she feels with everyone else.

He gives her respect, but is not initimidated by her, something she is not used to.

Also, his interaction with the dragon made quite an impression on her, as well as hints at the prophecy that he will be riding one by the end of the series.

I thought Gilly said Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia Martell and married Lyana Stark?  So that would have been Dany's sister in law not mom/aunt?  Or am I reading your quote completely wrong?

I don't really like Gentry showing up... he never was all that significant aside from his status as Aryas friend. They seemed to try and really build up a new story and purpose for him that wasn't really there before. Last we saw he was just a regular guy trying to survive, now he's full-bore into his new persona as the son of Robert Baratheon. I have to wonder how much, if any of this comes from the books or from GRRM.

I'm also not really a fan of bringing back Jorah. I thought his goodbye and Danny's helpless command that he cure himself was a great send off for him at the end of S6. He had repaid his debt in saving her life twice over but was stuck with the consequences of that journey. His meeting Sam and inevitable cure seems too easy.

I just hope there is enough time for these characters to have a worthwhile impact on the story. Right now it feels like everyone is competing for screen time, which was an issue I thought Cerci had solved for viewers at the end of S6.

Yea you are right, I get all the bloodlines and incest mixed up at times.
