Welllllll, how much did this episode piss you off?
It just can't get worse than a ninja warp to kill an antagonist 7+ seasons in the making.
All of this now is just a trainwreck. If you're legitimately asking: Just about everything. The conflict is extremely forced.
A lot of "Just So" writing. Like, a lot.
The list is so long and arduous of unbelievable plot devices.

Alright, apologists. Let me have it.
Did S8E4 meet your expectations?
I feel like I really tried to warn you guys where this was headed and no one wanted to listen to me.

Most people, including people like me who didn’t like E3, were fine with this episode.

The only issue I had with this one (I had exactly 0 with episode 3, btw, so take it for what it is worth) was that Cersei didn't kill Daenerys et al when she definitely had the chance. I guess Drogon in the background gave her pause, but still... she has all those badass crossbows. Why not go for the killing blow there?
I had a minor issue with time, same sort of thing that cropped up in Beyond the Wall in a big way: Daenerys rode to the coast, sailed to Dragon Stone to get her butt kicked, then rode to Kings Landing, and Jon Snow is... where? Seems like he should have beat Daenerys there by a lot. But to me that is nitpicking, says this picker of nits.

ok....if we can talk about tactics. I had one gripe. Just fly around behind the boats shooting at you! Game over hahaha

I don't believe you. At all.
So you're okay with Bronn coming to threaten Tyrion and Jaime like they won't just say: "Oh yeah, he extorted us but don't kill him with your dragons."?
You're okay with ships having no problem hitting a dragon three times in a row while missing the other for no reason whatsoever?
Nothing wrong with Dany standing outside of the castle walls, well within shooting distance of the ballistas that could kill a dragon?
What about Euron not killing the people on land? Why did they collect Missandei, did she not row her way toward shore?
What about Dany not just circling around to attack the fleet from behind? Or even from the side, since those things might have trouble shooting at those angles?
How did Dany not see the entire fricking fleet that they just talked about as it hid behind a rock? What was she doing?
Why did they split up in the first place, since it's well-known that Euron owns the high seas? Why not just march the entire army on land, since you know, they had two dragons?
Why did she just abandon her fleet when she could have easily flanked the opposing fleet, and simply let her entire army die?
Please, tell me what you thought went right in this episode?

That bothered me as well. So I lied, I guess. She could have taken potshots at Euron's fleet and destroyed them without them having a legit shot at her.

I'm no apologist but, it did. I dont expect things to make sense, show is just a fan fic at this point.
Danerys is losing her mind, Jon is moping, varys is plotting. Just need cersei to burn kings landing and the 3rd dragon to die and my dreams will come true

It's why I'm not as upset.
This is clearly a fanfic and will not be canon. Once the show ends and Martin has the rest of his grub he'll open up a lot more. He's already stated several times that he doesn't watch the show, you know, his entire livelihood -- what he created.
It makes sense as a fanfic, so I will watch it as a fanfic.

Oh, so you brought out into the woods of now watching everything critically and you just gonna leave me there? thanks man hahaha

I judge things by if I was entertained and enjoy it these days. I indeed saw many of the items listed and questioned it, but I drop it immediately and move on. I used to be hyper critical, but I realized there are limitations to making everything perfect.
I have learned not to overthink movies or shows anymore. I find more enjoyment that way.

If you see my posts on the MTV board, you’ll see I’m criticizing the Euron and KL scenes too. But overall I thought the episode was fine compared to last week’s Michael Bay impersonation. I’m fully prepared to be disappointed by the next two episodes if the spoilers are to be believed.
Dude it’s a fact this show is still insanely loved and popular. You have to realize most people don’t care so much about this stuff we analyze. People want to see cool shite and that’s what they get.
