10 Gaping Plot Holes In The Game Of Thrones Finale
8. Grey Worm’s Actions Defy All Logic
In the days after Cersei has the love of his life Missandei beheaded in front of him, Grey Worm is a seething mass of barely checked emotion, running around King’s Landing attacking unarmed men and executing people en masse.
So after the city is sacked and Daenerys - his Queen, the woman who freed him and his only reason for being there - is betrayed by one last remaining advisor and assassinated by the other, his reaction is completely understandable. With control of the city falling to him in the absence of literally anyone else, he immediately executes the traitors in a fit of rage and nails them to crosses at the city gates…
Oh, wait. No, he keeps them imprisoned and unharmed for weeks while he waits for the people he was brought to conquer to arrive and tell him what to do next.
He knows that the Starks didn’t like Daenerys, and he knows that their brother, the former King In The North, murdered her. Davos was Jon’s right hand man. With the possible exception of Yara Greyjoy, the rest of the assembling nobles of Westeros are strangers to him.
Why is Grey Worm deferring to them? Again, Yara aside, why would he imagine they would want to punish Tyrion and Jon for betraying the woman who came to conquer them all? It makes absolutely no sense.
