| May 7, 2019 at 16:09 | comment | added | krb | @OrangeDog Did you actually watch the episode? The ambush did not occur out in the open ocean where the horizon is the only thing to block your vision. | |

It was a fantastic shot seeing as the dragons where not flying straight and level, they where turning and banking almost at random as if having fun. Also, given the height, it was very impressive that the bolts maintained the amount of energy they did travelling all that way straight up. | |
| May 7, 2019 at 13:46 | comment | added | OrangeDog | The bigger issue is that the weather was good and it was daytime. You cannot sneak up on people in those conditions with ships. As soon as they're above the horizon they will be visible. And the dragons are higher up than Euron's masts, so Dany's fleet should have seen them before they were seen themselves. | |

| May 6, 2019 at 23:11 | comment | added | Kevin Workman | I haven't read the books myself, but I've heard that Euron Greyjoy is portrayed as having some form of "water magic" that might allow this type of ambush. | |

| May 6, 2019 at 20:24 | comment | added | just_happen_to_know | Several factors could be at play: they simply weren't expecting an attack by sea, Daenerys might be overconfident (she's beaten worse odds before), Varys doesn't seem to have a spy network at the moment, all Tyrion saw was a ballista fail to kill a dragon (Drogon seemed ok within minutes), and Daenerys can only see so much when flying her dragon and it seems like she doesn't typically do scouting missions. | |
