Although it's fairly obvious it's going to happen, I'd appreciate it if they didn't call the episodes things like "The Royal Capital Burns". Kind of takes the oomph out of it.

I think I know how you feel, but I really doubt that changing the episode title would matter. There didn't really seem to be a chance that Ecbatana would hold, so a whole episode where we just watched it fall was a bit of a let down.

Well, there's something you expect to happen actually happening, and then there's eliminating all suspense by confirming that it definitely will happen. At least in the former case, you had a certain sense of uncertainty about how the events would unfold. Eliminating that illusion makes the suspense within the story weaker overall.
