Another OMIGOD episode! Cheering never got cut off so fast in my house!
I too thought the chains were too much.OK, I can’t deny that I will continue to watch GoT until its eventual end, but with the episode aired last night on August 20, the writers have gone too far with the magic shidt.
I am reluctantly willing to believe in dragons, and in an army of zombies, but one must draw a line somewhere. Zombies who have the ability to swim under freezing water with no equipment and attach ungodly heavy chains to a dead dragon so that a million or so of their comrades can drag the dragon corpse to dry ground? And their Master can touch it with his magic twanger and give it renewed life? Where, exactly did they get those chains – the links of which would have been too large to forge in that era? And there would have been no purpose on that planet to have such chains anyway? They just had the chains sitting around in a warehouse someplace?
Come on.
It was near farcical anyway, and the writers have just crossed the gap from near-unbelievable to laughable.
Other aspects of the story are also devolving into silliness. Journeys that used to take months are now done in a couple of days. The message from the stranded “heroes” north of the wall to Danaeris travelled faster than e-mail, for Christ sake. Arya turns on Sansa and doesn’t realize that the letter to their brother was coerced? She threatens to blackmail Sansa?
Come on.
If GRRM went along with this – which undoubtedly he did – he is just getting tired of the whole thing and wants to end it. This last bit of writing goes beyond creative and hits “don’t-give-a-shit.”

The chains were a WTF for me. Why not just have the dragon fall to the ground instead of sliding down into the frozen lake? That was dumb.
I agree with you on pretty much everything. Well, I've the dragon thing down since season 1, and the walking dead.OK, I can’t deny that I will continue to watch GoT until its eventual end, but with the episode aired last night on August 20, the writers have gone too far with the magic shidt.

Fire breathing dragons and an army of zombies, wizards, and weird gods, resurrections of the dead and magic, and folks are wondering about where some chains came from.Some of you have wondered why the white walkers would have the giant chains with them. Considering how travel times have been dramatically reduced lately, who says the chains had to be anywhere nearby? Maybe the night king sent for a set of chains he knew about 1000 miles away; it would only take a day or two to bring those.
