He is going to get Sansa to do some dumb ****.

Hopefully Arya fixes that problem.

We can only hope.

Is Little Finger on her list?

Is Little Finger on her list?

I don't think so but she just had her entire focus shift. Perhaps the list is now anyone against house Stark. Not that far of a reach IMO.

 

[MVP]

Certainly better episode than opening one. Missandei... man, what a body...

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Also, when Cercei was in the dungeon w/ the Maester, I was super disappointed by the secret weapon. A wooden cross-bow (that isnt even that big)? **** out of here. I was hoping it would be some badass ****.

Yeah, the writers need to throw Theon a bone. Give him something redeeming.

Dude has to watch his sister get chicks left and right after getting tortured to the extreme. SMH

Maybe the Lord of Light will bring his dick back from the dead?

At least let him finger bang some sand-snake and get his b-hole licked.

It's only one left alive. Granted, the one with the best boobs on the show.

That is called ballista.

Ballista is one of the biggest revolutions in warfare and weapons history.

Yup, this is a massive change. If they hit a dragon with that it's seriously wounded and very possible dead depending on where they hit it. The dragons will be forced to remain airborne and constantly moving. They land, or hover, and they will be to slow to dodge the missiles and these things will kill them quickly.

This is and dragonfire (the green explosive liquid) are by far the two best realistic counters to the dragons. Nothing else even comes close.

Ballista's aren't that mobile and would be significantly less effective in an open field tho. Anyway looking forward to the next episode.

I think they could be used from towers on defence, this way they can catch dragons by surprise and it would still be somewhat protected from their fire.

Thats how they were traditionally used, the Romans had a smaller mobile one that was used in open fields.

I thought this way too. Throw in Bran too. The kid will absolutely become very powerful.

I believe Sam will play a vital role too.

Definitely. They are not what you are looking for in a hit and run. Think of them like primitive missile launchers.

For sure they have drawbacks. But Cersei knows they are coming to kings landing. I would have lined the walls and every tower with ballista. If they are already in place and mounted correctly you can have fairly good range of movement to aim with. Also highly effective against any siege towers or ships in the harbor. Taking out the dragons and ships should be top priorities.

Are you thinking of scorpions? Basically they launched bunches of arrows at once. Highly effective against massed infantry and cavalry. Much lighter and easier to move.
