In all fairness, a ship mounted harpoon/ballista had not been seen yet. Can you imagine trying to aim one of those things on a bow mounted ship with the bow going up and down 1-3 feet constantly with the waves?

Naw, Vary's is too smart for that. Even if he wanted to see Dany dead, he still needs her and her dragons to overthrow Cersei first. Getting them both killed means war over Cersei wins.

In the previews for this weeks show there was a quick shot of Euron peering into the sky with a "oh ****" look on his face, more than one dragon could get that reaction or armor or...?

Bran hasn't been anti anyone, and without Dany, Jon dies. Arya is heading to KL too. Sansa is the most anti Dany of the bunch, Arya sees some truth in what Sansa has to say, but not sure I would call her anti-Dany.

or......
1) Drogon has armor
2) Bran wargs Rhaegal (kinda like the NK did to Viserion)
3) Drogon, when he/she flew off to Volantis a few seasons ago laid a clutch of eggs, and his/her babies are coming to join him/her.

Long predicted Arya/Hounds last trek together. What do you think culminates with that? I see Arya wounding Cersei and leaving her to die and mercy killing Hound after he is mortally wounded in his fight with Mountain.
I think Cersei gets one more prisoner, thinking Sansa. In the preview Jon is with Tyrion talking to Cersei at the gate again. Think he's about to offer himself in place of Sansa. That's more a wild guess as I don't even know where the dishonorable ***** is right now.

I highly doubt it is Sansa, she is not even in KL. How they would kidnap her in WF and then circumvent Jon's troops and arrive in KL before Jon is hard to imagine. I just saw the scene as two sides sizing each other up before the battle.
Your Arya/Hound depiction sounds about right, although, there would be no shock value. So maybe Gilly springs out of a cake in a g-string and stabs Cersei in the eye?
Then Jon dies in battle, and Gendry marries Dany, the end.

So true! Assuming the harpoon is hard mounted to the ship, with the waves... that would be a very hard shot. Would seem a bit more realistic with a volley of arrows.

LOL. The way the story is now being told, don't think it matters where Sansa is or how they get her.I highly doubt it is Sansa, she is not even in KL.

Thinking of a scenario in which Jon will kill Dany which we know happens. First guess is Tyrion convinces him his Stark family is next to feel his wrath. Or maybe she even learns of Sansa's betrayal which put all this other treason against Dany in motion. Then Dany lets it be known Sansa must pay for her crime.

Dragon Strategy:
I thought Dany/Dragon was going to try and fly in low from the side...
stay low, spite fire early, vere off to the stern (back) of the ships.
That way there's one only one harpoon to face, if it can even aim low enough, and no harpoons at the stern of the ship. The ships were lined up horizontally.
Plus, once the fire is on it's way, the harpooner can't see, then gets engulfed.
But yeah, sloped armour is a great idea, if the dragoon can fly with the weight.

There's 2 different parts where he has the oh **** look. 1, I think he sees Yara/Jaime coming after him. The other, when he's looking in the sky, I think Drogon is armored. Bran warging into Rhaegal is the most plausible other possibility. Long been theorized Bran would warg into a dragon so maybe but don't really see him getting involved at this point after sleeping through the war against the dead.

You're trying to use strategy these characters aren't privy to given the writers.

Stop saying that, it never happened. They pulled the dead dragons body out of the lake and then the NK reanimated it as his wight, there was no warging involved. The NK can see through the creature's eyes as he can with any other of his wight's. I have never seen any dead animal getting warged into.
Attempted fan fiction fail.

Maybe Bronn faked out the two Lannisters and grabs Sansa instead.
Would be hard to get back to KL with her, but not impossible.
I don't remember... how'd they get the beheaded chic in the first place?

They all went overboard when Euron's fleet attacked. Guessing she was the slowest swimmer and got plucked by Euron's people.

Yeah, I know. lol ... just have to watch the battle plans against the Dead to know how backward they're willing to go.
Charging the cavalry first... into the dark, catapults outside the castle. Where were the long pikes with dragon glass?
