yea...either Euron gotta be dumb or just doesn't care. I feel like deep down he knows it's not his and he doesn't care

No indication they had them in both locations mainly because Dany was written as too stupid to even test out. Even if they did, forcing the enemy to defend front and back is still the best strategy.
Let's be honest here for a sec. The showrunners don't care about tactics. They are just doing things for shock value now.

Jamie is the same Jamie. Ok dude when not under Cersei's influence and a fucking cuck when he is. Nothing has changed in 8 seasons with him.
Jamie, Cersei, Sansa. The 3 main people I just want to see die miserably before it is all over. Sadly I think I will only get 2 out of 3.

Unless his real motive for going down there is to Kill Cersei.
Remember in an interview Nikolaj Coster-Waldau said "I had a great last scene. It was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect way to end". So maybe he's going to live happy ever after with Brienne.
Or, I have been paying attention and he dies in a blaze of glory after killing Cersei .

My favorite teams
The military leaders on this show are brain dead, that troubles me. If a navel commander expects an aerial attack there is no way he would just protect the bow and leave the stern unprotected. I'm going to give the show runners a huge break, they in no way deserve. I am going to give them this, Dany from her vantage point, saw the stern AA batteries and knew the ships were protected from her dragon.
From the looks of it, Kings Landing looks to be pretty dragon proof as well.
The military aspects should be ignored if you want to enjoy the end of this great series. I understand the compulsion to shit all over the last season, by all means, enjoy (not directed at you remy). It looks like the focus of the last two episodes will be Dany/Jon, the show will do what ever they have to do to make the military moves fit the narrative of the ending. As a student of military history, I find this stupidity frustrating, I am trying to over look this silliness as much as possible so I can enjoy the many other well crafted aspects of the finish of this epic story.

In all fairness, the effectiveness of the ballista's is greatly exaggerated in the show universe. And there effectiveness would be greatly diminished if they themselves were under fire by the ground forces. They would still be relatively easy to take out if Dany simply got altitude and dived as close to vertical as possible at high speed, I think we will see this, with her using the sun at her back against Euron in the next battle.
Who knows, maybe they give Drogon some armor in the next episode, and that is why Euron is so worried.

Characters are acting...out of character because they're being sacrificed for plot points.
Instead of being guided by characters, the show is now cramming characters into actions and decisions that don't fit them, just so they can hit certain plot points. That's why some of the audience is confused by characters they've known and understood for years. It's also why you see all these bad tactics as of late. It doesn't make sense for smart characters to be this stupid, but the show needs them to be for the plot, so they are.
It's a sign of bad writing, just like plot-blocking.
Buuuut, maybe I'm wrong and the writing team responsible for movies that average less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes are right.
Maybe the guy who wrote *checks notes* X-Men Origins: Wolverine knows what he's doing.

The last Jedi was beyond horse shit. I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Luke’s character. After walking out of that movie theatre I was so done with that franchise I didn’t care or even think about Star Wars for another year at least.

He ain't gonna kill Cersei.
The spoiler said Tyrion frees him so he can go get Cersei out of the city. And thinking he kills Euron cause he's jelly. He still wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves. That's Cersei for this incestuous bastard.
I had that theory a while ago that Arya and Hound would go to KL together, he for his brother and her for Cersei. Looks like that's happening. Looking like Arya will mercy kill Hound when he, too, is mortally wounded in his fight.

Haha.
That part where Jon and Tormund say their good byes and Tormund tells Jon to come with him as he heads back up home North beyond the wall has me thinking Jon will join him and Ghost later after he kills Dany. Likely he kills her to protect Sansa and/or Arya from her wrath. He'll just hop on Drogon and ride away from it all.

Burn the ships on a cloudy night...
Let Arya become Cersi’s hand and do what she does.

Look at that. Danny is about to be a ruthless crazy ***** and all in her feelings over the throne/Jon's lineage.
If the spoilers that were posted from Reddit are true, I feel like the blew the whole series in the finale. What a build up to a big waste. Maybe it'll grow on me as it plays out.

Theirs is a tragic love story. She begs him to let things stay as they were between them but the incest thing is too much for him. Maybe when she finds out it's Sansa plotting against her, Jon feels the need to protect Sansa from her.

Sansa got some Littlefinger in her. She's kinda manipulative
