Why meander around her prey like that? She had all her fleets, 3 dragons 2 great armies. Why try to take casterly rock if the ultimate goal is to take the capital (or red keep) anyway?

As many have said, there were many options. (Intimidation being one of them) for approaching the siege without risking the city.

Propaganda mostly. Tactically taking casterly gives you effective control of the 7 kingdoms. You can control the narrative and avoid lasting fear from a fire breathing dragon. Position yourself freely and the Lannisters can do fuck all about it.

This is of course assuming that the 7 kingdoms can't just sit empty for a length of time and the citizens had any opinion on Cersei as a ruler. Which of course is not a good assumption for this show.

They already technically had casterly rock after the loot train attack (they just needed to send supplies there like any camp). They could have moved on to kingslanding immediately after the loot train (and Dany was already fed up with Tyrions Milquetoast advice).

Instead the next episode we see Greyworm safe on dragonstone and Dany listening to idiotic suggestions for an armistice.

Yeah after the loot train people are just faffing about. Apparently for the sole reason of depleting Dany's forced to subvert our expectations when she still easily takes the city and have her be angry.

...A tenderbox?

....As in chicken tendies?

(I think you mean tinderbox mate... You know, as in how tinder lights a fire?)

You're right, I did type an e instead of an i. Thank you for all the ellipsis. I might not have grasped your utter astonishment at a typo otherwise.

[deleted] -7 points-6 points 1 year ago

We both know it was a genuine mistake and not a typo but ok g-star. No need to get upset.

5000KandlesInTheWind 2 points3 points 1 year ago

Please, tell me more about what we "both know".
