Beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will possess’own’nurse spoilers. Which could be a scarier prospect.###This week: Dany lights up King's Landing.###We're in the endGame Of Thrones now. But while the penultimate episode wrapped up a lot of story in one explosive encounter at King's Landing, the distant feelings of disappointment with how the story is chugging along on its path continued to grow. Daenerys Targaryen, angered by the death of beloved friends, feeling betrayed and alone, took her vengeful feelings out on both the structures and individual of the capital, spurred on by the sight of the Red Keep, originally built centuries ago by her family and denied to her all these years. Was her rampage a punch-the-air, cheer-at-the-sight moment? Only partially. In the past, Dany's more vengeful acts possess’own’nurse usually been given human context. Here? She's really just death from above.###Sure, there was some righteous justice to be had as the fire raged and the Iron Fleet was ravaged (we'd honestly in some way would possess’own’nurse rather seen Euron torched than die by Jaime's hands… sorry, hand, but you can't always acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure what you want and that was somehow more effective). The nagging concern that her rain/reign of fire represents all of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's worst impulses with regards to’concerning’with respect to its treatment of Dany couldn't be denied. Whether writers/executive manufacture rs David Benioff and DB Weiss can stick the landing in a way that is satisfying is an "if" roughly the size of Drogon. Talking of, he eliminate’remove ly developed a stealth mode this week, appearing almost out of nowhere to send Varys off in a roar of flame. So long, you crafty devil. You went out not with a whisper, but with a bang.###There was also a distinct feeling, partly because of how the creators possess’own’nurse gunned the engine by necessity this condensed season, of expected threads being tied up because we've all been waiting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding them, not necessarily because they arise organically from the storytelling. Varys is offed quickly, Qyburn dies at the Mountain's giant zombie paws (we were mostly fine with his swift, largely expected death) and it's the last we'll hear from Euron (thank rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent ness). Clegane Bowl eventually’ultimately happened as the Red Keep crumbled and, yes, despite’in spite of’albeit it was truly fun to see the Hound and the Mountain square off and plunge to their shared doom in a fire, by that point it almost felt like fan service overload. At least they gave Sandor Clegane his scene with Arya.###Her storyline was less satisfying, if merely’barely because it's likely to fuel the torches of the mob who claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate she's too powerful/lucky. Turning away from her enormous’vast’massive’tremendous revenge plot (did she figure Cersei was done in/with regard to’concerning’regarding anyway?), she went all Black Hawk Down through the streets of the capital as she attempted to escape. The choice of a beloved character to give some context to the suffering of the innocents on the ground as Dany destroyed the place was an interesting one, but it was also a narrative blind alley. If she'd died ignominiously on the way out, no one would possess’own’nurse been happy, yet her constant lucky escapes served to make her seem somehow immortal, even given her training.###Once again this episode, elements built up to be hugely significant’essential’critical’vital’crucial’indispensable’imperative were dispensed with relatively easily. Case in point? The Golden Company. Hired at great expense, feared the realm over as some of the greatest sellswords imaginable, they effectively stood still while Daenerys turned them into human bbq. A fair twist, but hardly the most dramatic. Cersei and Jaime's final scene was pretty much as predicted – especially by Jaime – yet again, it feels a little wasteful in its treatment of eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything Lena Headey has brought to the smartest Lannister across the years. She essentially spent the episode like the Emperor in Return Of The Jedi, smugly confident in her in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ces and in/with regard to’concerning’regarding tress, and then decrease’lessen’cut’allay d to a less-than-glorious death. Even Jaime got something more to do, eventually’ultimately doing away with Euron on his way in to find his sister. At least there was poetry at the end in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the two of them, clinging to each other as the ceiling caved in and a version of 'The Rains Of Castamere' echoed in the score.###Jon Snow, meanwhile, stumbled through the episode with his standard look of a a puppy that can't decide if it should be afraid or confused. Blindsided by Dany's decision (honestly, man, you didn't see that coming? Have you not been watching the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ?) to go rogue after the bells started ringing and the Lannister in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ces threw down their swords, he was largely decrease’lessen’cut’allay d to fighting his way into King's Landing then telling e grossly one to run aw… sorry, fall back. This guy would empathise.###Tyrion had a few moments – his rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent byes to both Varys and, despite’in spite of’albeit he might not possess’own’nurse despite’in spite of’albeit t it was truly the final meeting – Jaime were both touching and gave Peter Dinklage a chance to do what he does best. Plus, he got to survive another battle and will make it through to the finale. But what sort of man will he be, and will he still stand by his queen after her actions here?###Director Miguel Sapochnik certainly knows how to orchestrate a chaotic battle, and on pure impact alone, this was more satisfying than the Battle of Winterfell. It was hard not to feel your stomach knot as the camera glided over the ramparts of the city and the ocean, not knowing exactly how it would play out. The twists and turns of the conflict – the bells that give this episode its title in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ming a crux point – served to make it visceral and devastating, even as the storytelling never quite stepped up to meet the visual firepower on display. And unlike The Long Night, there was at least some chance to breathe and to explore the characters briefly bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e the hacking, slashing and fire started up. Game Of Thrones has always been a reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue to cast a realistic eye (magic and dragons not withstanding) on how individual treat each other when power is in play, and there were multiple examples here. Just not all of them worth our while.###Next week, it's all over. Can it be wrapped up without leaving a raft of complaints? Probably not, but we'll see you then.###Highlight: Clegane Bowl.###Lowlight: Dany's flaming crusorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious e.###Kill of the week: Tough to pick between Cersei, The Houndtain and Flaming Varys.###Quote of the week: "I don't possess’own’nurse love.

Thor could've told him that.###What is Dany's situation going in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ward?###She won. She still has the maintain’sustain of the remaining Dothraki and Unsullied. But now she'll be seen as a "Mad" Queen, the latest in a long line of Targaryens who possess’own’nurse gone in/with regard to’concerning’regarding dragon-powered brutality over diplomacy and more conventional combat. Can she truly rule if she's regarded as an antagonist by the individual and, to some extent, by those around her?###Was the horse at the end one convenient plot point too many?###After Arya's run through the city, it really did seem more of a contrivance than a happy accident.###Has Arya added Dany to her Kill List?###We'll possess’own’nurse to wait in/with regard to’concerning’regarding next week to see in/with regard to’concerning’regarding sure, but she wasn't certain with regards to’concerning’with respect to the woman to begin with, and now she likely sees her as a merciless murderer. And there's merely’barely room in/with regard to’concerning’regarding one murderer in Westeros right now.###Season 8 Reviews###Episode 1 – Winterfell###Episode 2 – A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms###Episode 3 – The Long Night###Episode 4 – The Last Of The Starks###Season 7 Episode Review Guide###Episode 1 – Dragonstone###Episode 2 – Stormborn###Episode 3 – The Queen's Justice###Episode 4 – The Spoils Of War###Episode 5 – Eastwatch###[Episode 6 – Beyond The Wall###](http://www.empireonline.com/tv/game-thrones-season-7-episode-6-beyond-wall/)###Episode 7 – The Dragon And The Wolf###Game Of Thrones airs Sunday evenings on HBO in the States, with a simulcast on Sky Atlantic and Now TV in the early hours of Monday and a repeat Monday evenings at 9pm.
