If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
King's Landing has been a monument to the Targaryen dominion over Westeros since its founding. She has historically had a better intuitive grasp of symbolism than that.
Right? I even said out loud while I was watching "Um, wasn't that the castle you wanted to live in...?"
On a positive note, I thought the music in last night's ep was really fantastic.

I'm not buying into the "Targaryens are crazy" narrative. A lot of them were messed up, sure, but as far as I can tell all of them that were considered Mad were pursuing the visions of dragon rebirth that Danaeris actualized. Gods flip a coin my ass.

Exactly!
And ruling with fear is one thing, but make them fear your power by showing them what you can do to the bad guys, aka Cersei, not be killing the same people you want to rule.
I'm going to be muttering to myself all day, apparently. The only moment I genuinely liked was Tyrion saying goodbye to Jaime. That's it. Out of 80 minutes.

Oh, I forgot about that. That was nice. And "the stupidest Lannister" was actually funny

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One thing I'm certain of, Sansa will legitimately see Dany and her Drogon as threats to Winterfell and she will do what she can to kill them both.
Sansa is one of the only actual gameplayers left on the board. Without Varys or Littlefinger or Tywin or Oleanna or Margaery or Qhyburn or the Sparrow, she's one of the few left who understands the Game.
Certainly not Tyrion with his unlikely swerve towards sentimental, blundering naivety.
Also, buried in rubble might kill actual people but cinematically it doesn't really count unless you see a major character definitively offed. So I expect Cersei will come crawling out of the debris somehow. I expect Jaime will have bled out.
Maybe it'll end with a catfight between Cersei and Dany and they both fall into a lily pond.

Jaime and Cersei had damn well better be dead. Or I shall be very cross.

I would be v v happy if Nymeria came back and killed Cersei in the finale, since Arya's probably going to have to kill Dany.

This. I know the last episode is going to have Too Much Stuff smushed into it, let's not add Jaime and Cersei.
