When people are complaining about the writing, it's little things like that that could have gone a HUGE distance toward making it better. |
But maybe that's why TV needs to be different from the books. The show spoonfed the bell and surrender situation to us like third graders. Then they wrapped up the surrender in a nice bow. That kind of simple spoonfeeding may be an eye roll for the books. But here's what made for good TV... Dany had a clear and obvious choice. It wasn't tactical. It wasn't impulsive emotional revenge. I agree with a lot of ways they should have made the scene more believable. But man, that pause where she decides to go berserk... Couldn't ask for better television.
