It's a sad state of affairs, D & D really mailed it in this season, regressed some old TV trope writing. If I was HBO I woould be pissed.

Help Cersei kill any of the dragons or Dany, before Cersei is defeated? I really doubt it. Cersei murdered Sansa's family, not Dany. Jon sworn allegiance to Dany against Cersei, so Cersei will surely kill all Starks. I don't think the 'other continent' armies would fight for Jon if Dany was dead. That would be pretty stupid of Sansa, wouldn't it?

Well that's not what you said, "Bran wargs Rhaegal (kinda like the NK did to Viserion)" We have seen the NK raise the dead into wights many times, we have no indication that Bran can do that. Also would they be alive or zombies like the wights?
You have some good theories some times, this is not one of them.

It's not my theory, and I never said I liked it. If you read the OP those were the three most popular theories being bantered about on the net.

You don't get it.
1) shooting while staring into the sun..........hard
2) shooting at a target while it is moving 120 mph......hard
3) shooting at a target whose wings are folded in ........hard

I don't know if the above is a joke (I hope it is) but I'll leave you to argue your superior knowledge about the physics and ballistics of a fantasy TV show, boy.

To re-iterate, I hate the theory............
But I just watched Arya take out the NK while bran was busy surfing the NET
Dumb and Dumber has devolved in to turning the story into nothing but shock value BS.
So, Bran having virtually nothing to do with the defeat of the NK, while taking an active part in the war against Cersei, makes sense, from what we have seen so far.
But God, I hope it doesn't happen.

Not as sad as you telling other people they don't 'get it' about how best to plan the dragons surviving a Euron attack. It's a fucking TV show, and you are arguing in your own posts how dumb it has become. So now you are going to call me out for pointing out the writers' faulty logic? Sad, indeed.

As opposed to this clueless gem?
"they could just go behind so Euron doesn't shoot his own sails"
Euron is anchored, his sails are not up.
Not having a Stern mounted Ballista on the ships would be stupid.

Finally, we get the long sought after proof that the intrawebz is Special person.
Still trying to decide which is worse, "this show sucks" or "here is my fan fiction".

Good point, If the sails were up, could the harpoon gunners see through them? They'd risk shooting the sails, but wouldn't see through them. I think the ships were stationary, so the sails might have been folded up.

Anyway, you win at the Game of Thrones (thread), I guess. I really don't give a **** what rules they've bent or will bend.

Disingenuous. Next episode the sails might be down, but they were up last episode.
If they didn't mount AA on the stern, and all the ships are facing the same direction, easy win for the dragon. But why would any commander be that stupid, "I forgot about the other end of the ship".

It was blatantly obvious I was referring to the next episode, not the previous episode.Disingenuous. Next episode the sails might be down, but they were up last episode.

And I agree, not having Stern mounted ballista's would be stupid.
In the episode 4, Euron had the advantage of knowing from which direction Dany was to be coming, he won't have this advantage in the next episode. Of course, they made it a hell of a lot easier by shrinking the distance between land mass's from about 75 miles down to 100 yards, so the iron fleet could block the entry. My guess is Dany makes easy work out of destroying his ships.
