Those ballista did an unreasonable amount of damage to the ships. Tension energy like that can't simply evaporate wooden ships.
Dachs afaik is not saying that the early show (or books) didn't have huge plotholes and convenient goings-on. He is saying they did but that later show seasons (5-8) are even worse.
Tldr, although Martin has various glaring flaws, he is still clearly a lot better than the show writers.
No, that's not what Dachs is saying, that's what I am saying.Dachs afaik is not saying that the early show (or books) didn't have huge plotholes and convenient goings-on. He is saying they did but that later show seasons (5-8) are even worse.

I doubt any show could survive the intense scrutiny that this show does.
I doubt any show could satisfy everyone.
All the people here claiming to dislike the show while they are anticipating and watching every episode and then spending considerable time arguing about it on an obscure website.
I wish I had the talent to write something so awful that it gets this type of attention.
At first it was just the new writers that suck but we've slowly getting to the point that the original material sucked. Oh my.
I prefer to just sit back and enjoy the ride and will miss it when it's done.
And thank all the actors for the magnificent performances (at least most of them) and look forward to seeing them in other works.

Agreed, which is why I get amused at the haters of this series and LOTR. Almost all the other Fantasy outright sucks and aren't worth discussing here. (If there are decent ones out there, please post about them folks, because I wouldn't mind finding one)But if you enjoy high-quality fantasy shows, there aren't many options out there.
I don't think so. (but I've been so wrong before) It's just so popular and social media these days demand fodder.Does the show not invite intense scrutiny for its marketing?

Most of the weird stuff has been pointed out, but still...
Bronn just walks into Winterfell and blackmails the Hand of the Queen into giving him a kingdom at a crossbow-point?
Ships ambushing dragons?
Dany marches her shipwrecked band of roughly two dozen unsullied at the gates of the Red Keep and demands Cersei to surrender?
Where did she leave Drogon?
In the absence of Drogon, what stopped the garrison from making short work of them, either with ballistas or just by sallying out?
If Cersei killed Missandei, why not Tyrion as well?
Ok, illogical plot all over.
But what left me most perplexed was Jaime.
Did he go to kill Cersei? To save Cersei? Why exactly would news of the ambush spur him into action either way?
I'm confused, because it felt like I should have realized his intention and motivation, but I just don't.
Why was King's Landing in the middle of a barren desert?
Where is the set?
I assumed he decided that he had to kill Cersei (the Mad Queen) to save Kings Landing. That's why we saw Sansa pointedly indicated that Dany was sure to kill Cersei now; to instil in Jaime the belief that Dany is angry and will immediately go after Cersei, and that Cersei will force her to burn down the city to do that.But what left me most perplexed was Jaime.
