Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones season 8 episode 4
Game of Thrones is being gently roasted for leaving a disposable coffee cup in the feast scene after spending years on this final season. Fair’s fair, and the show admitted that they f**ked up.

But arguably, there was another mistake in episode five. Or two really. The first is the fact that the Northern crew and Khaleesi’s people surely by now would have made some armour for the damn dragons???
They know these dragons are prime targets, they know the dragons can be taken down by puncture wounds, and yet, no one thought to build armour for these guys? Seems unlikely. The dragons were their greatest asset, and now they only have one.
But my biggest gripe with the narrative choices in episode five have to do with the major death at the end.
Sweet, kind Missandei. You did not deserve to die, but once captured, it was inevitable.
The mistake was that Tyrion thought he could get Cersei to surrender by asking nicely, and that he survived.
Tyrion was smarter than this for about six and a half seasons, and then suddenly he’s being written as a great big dummy???

He’s just like “Pretty please sister?” as if this woman didn’t blow up hundreds of people a hot minute ago.

I know that Tyrion seems to hit a nerve with Cersei and she’s been presented with the opportunity to kill him before and lacked follow through. But at this point, when Cersei is so close to either defeat or victory and her brother is standing in her way, I just don’t believe Cersei is having mercy???
