Was anyone else drastically disappointed with episode 2? Problems I couldn't get over:
1. Queen of Dorne, let me emphasis this for you, "Queen". Where in the fuck was her royal guard that all royalty has? Are we to believe it was just those three little girls? Did this shows writers just take stupid pills? The boat scene was so utterly anti-climatic when you take into consideration she was missing her entire royal guard. Poor writing. And speaking of which...
2. Euron's sneak attack. Are we honestly to believe a fleet of 1,000 ships... ONE-THOUSAND FUCKING SHIPS... cannot be spotted in enough time to give at least a 60-second warning before they attacked? Regardless of it being night and overcast, Yara's fleet was not small either and without doubt, one of the ships in front would have seen his huge fucking fleet approach. Not to mention the complete and utter suspension of disbelief that Eurons ship somehow magically found and attacked Yara's directly, and on the very first attack of the fight no less. Again, lazy, terrible writing with zero knowledge of sea warfare.
3. The agreement reached with queen Daenerys. Talk about brief and unfulfilling, and again, wholly unbelievable; queen Daenerys, the queen of Dorne, the lordess/queen of the Iron Islands, and the regent queen Lady Olena all gathered, and we're to believe their conversation would go like that? I just about face-palmed when the queen of Dorne reluctantly rolled her eyes at following the plan, as if someone of her stature would allow her self to be told what to do. This show has gotten weak without source material.
4. Theon. Need I even say a word more? His character has gone through the worst shit imaginable, but he's evolved since we last saw him when he made a conscious resolve to join Yara... that is until he suddenly reverts back to the sniveling pet of Ramseys without just cause in a situation where he would definitely not do what he did knowing full well what captors are capable of doing to their captees, and what Euron did to his own father. This show just dropped somewhere into the toilet.
I'd dreading the episode tonight to be honest.
