You know, because all these years the 3 Dragons, now fully grown, can now be shot down and killed because of a simple ballista. Its like, why even bother with the dragons if they now all of a sudden can easily be shot down.
And then there is Euron. In the show he came on late in the series and not much backstory at all to him. Yet now of a sudden he has been a huge factor in taking on Dany's army. Its like we are finally where Dany is at Westeros, yet this new character who I have no attachment to by either liking or hating him, is now all of a sudden a major player. It doesnt make any sense to me.
So yeah, I can agree with you overall. Plus as I said before, any one with a half of a military brain would never have split her forces the way they did to begin with. They would have made a beachhead on Westeros so the Dothraki can get their horses fed and watered, while sending out scouts all of the place to prepare for the next move.
Euron gets a bit more story in the book than he has in the show and the books are far behind at this point... He had heard of the dragon queen but in the books he was working hard to make her his queen. (now the Theon/Sister Greyjoy) kinda throw a wrench into that but if he has disposed of them I'm surprised he hasn't offered danny his fleet for her hand. Pretty sure that was his original plan to begin with.
As for the dragons being killed they were killed back when the targs ruled the 7 kingdoms... when dragons fought dragons (house symbol and animal) Of course they can be killed and riding 3 vs a fleet wouldn't work every time.
But nothing says the balistas are ready just that they are working on them.
** also there is still hope for Hound vs the mountain **
