Good point on the crossbow, though it looks like Bronn is turning out to be as strong as ten men!

During the incineration of the slaver fleet last season, didn't all three take part even without riders?<br /><br />Jaime is sure to survive, or they would have just BBQ'd him. It'll be interesting to see what happens to and with him.<br /><br />The Flak crossbow was more effective in the scene than one would be in reality. One man would take minutes to re-tension and reload that thing, and tracking a moving aerial target with a one shot weapon has been proven difficult for 100 years.<br /><br />If Littlefinger is gone, somebody else controls the Vale and its army, no? I think he has some major role ahead, since the shows spend so much attention on him.<br /><br />I don't think Daenerys goes full "mad queen" but she did seem to enjoy the power. The wooden fleet of the Ironborn better hide.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Billnoreply@blogger.com
