when are we going to see more of the army of the dead? it seems everything is building up to them coming, but when? or is that a end of season thing?

I reckon generally it's going to be Season 7 is the battle of Westeros, and then Season 8 is the final big battle, dead vs undead etc

+1 that's what this season seems to be building up with, losing or gaining allies.

Impressive visual spectacle. Too bad the actual tactics used in the battle were very poor.

Indeed very poor, though I think the whole point to that was to show  Danny, that her dragons can be hurt?

I was referring more to the Dothraki she needlessly lost during the initial charge into the spearmen's wall. She could have attacked the Lannisters across the defensive line in the first strafing run and it would have been a lot more devastating than going at it perpendicularly and creating a small gap.

 

A couple of the runs were also spent burning carts\wagons in the middle of the road, with no soldiers near. Those abandoned carts contained gold and food most likely, which would have been of use.

 

Hurting the dragon bit could be kept more or less the same. Personally, I would have added more Dothraki trying to harass Bron on the scorpion and Lannisters forming a defensive line in the smoke to protect it from them.

Also apparently she went to the Rickon school of going in a straight line (towards the launcher) rather than Serpentine :laugh:

Cersei told the banker that the gold was with her brother. And the banker, while praising her and trying to find new financing opportunities, always ended with "as soon as the gold is delivered". Theoretically, the gold would have been safer with Jaimie's army, and it's not like that army was considered disposable to risk sending the gold ahead with regular soldiers. Jamie was with the army and Bron, Randyll and Dickon Tarly were also around gathering supplies from the peasants in Highgarden (when not with the army itself).

Yea, I do not understand the strategy ... as others have stated ... she should have attacked down the line.  Also, why just Drogon ... and not Rhaegal and Viserion (she kinda used all three during "Battle of the Bastards" albeit after two were freed).  All three would have made quick work of the battlefield saving a lot of Dothraki and Drogon probably wouldn't have been injured (I dislike that arrow contraption).

 

Excellent episode though!

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
