What happened in the city was odd, what I mean by that is, what happened is very common, very very common, has happened many times in our own history, cities being pillaged, that is what it looks like (minus the obvious dragon), people are killed for no reason, people are raped and enslaved, that setting is real, what was odd in all this was the forced ' we don't need to do this, like the entire massacre is just a plot point for a few characters, so they make different decisions, like those lives didn't really matter, in the grand sceme it was just to set up the next episode and the political, and likely assassinating, that is to follow.
It was rather jarring and snort worthy, its hard to watch and harder to read modern peoples views on what happened, so many do not understand how common the massacre of a besieged city is, real life events are far more tragic that what happened in kings landing, the odd or rather stupid thing it was all just some character development and it really was not needed, ah such a pain, oh well.
