In last week's episode, "The Last of the Starks," Daenerys is caught off guard by Euron's Iron Fleet on her way to Dragonstone. As a result, Rhaegal is shot down after getting pierced by multiple spears launched from Euron's handy collection of massive wooden crossbows (known as Scorpions). Although I'm elated that Drogon makes it out of the following episode alive, it's bizarre to see him and Dany effortlessly dodge and weave around Euron's Scorpions this time around, with the airborne spears not even coming close to hitting them.
So, what's the deal? Did all the soldiers in Euron and the Golden Company's armies suddenly forget how those XXXL crossbows worked? Did they all go blind? Or just completely forget how to aim? Daenerys approaches the fleet of ships in the same exact fashion as before — i.e. flying directly at them — so it's odd that 1.) not a single one of the weapons comes close to hitting her or Drogon, and 2.) that she is easily able to swoop down and light her enemies on fire. Why couldn't she have done that last week, taking out Euron's fleet before the hubub at King's Landing? Something isn't adding up.
