One more thing: I take it the horses and hounds used to track Sansa were just holograms projected by the leader of the hunt. And where the fuck is Bronn while we're at it? I'd also like to know how the third (the one who poisoned Bronn, then flashed her perky tits) was allowed to get anywhere near the chief guard's back. And why would Jamie leave him on the boat (afraid Cersei would kill him in revenge for her daughter?).
I just want to know how the fuck two of the Sand Snakes standing on the pier when the ship sailed got on board to kill the prince in King's Landing.
I was right in the Season 5 thread that Ellaria would have to kill her brother-in-law and Prince So-and-so. So the "no spoilers" tag is not needed.Īnyway, Dorne is a dumpster fire. Budget cuts, etc.Įlfdart wrote:I just realized that unless someone has seen the future episodes, there can't really be any spoilers. On a side note, the Sand Snakes continue to be a writing embarrassment, to the point where I feel bad for the actresses.Įdit: I assumed the continuity guys were fired to save money. It honestly would've made more sense if she'd just been like "Yo dawg, the Lannisters think you killed Myrcella, so now you're at war with them whether you like it or not." And, as Vympel noted, kinslaying is supposed to be one of the biggest taboos in Westeros. Of course, she probably will, because writer fiat, but it will be dumb. What the fuck is her plan? Dorne isn't exactly run by Klingons, so it's not like she can take over. What the actual fuck?Įven granting that Ellaria's character has been pretty thoroughly derailed, this is just bizarre. while strolling around with no guards), but the Dornish bit is shit. I was actually pretty on board with the rest of the episode, though there were a few oddities (Ramsay's disappearing dogs, Tyrion and Varys talking about how people are being murdered in the streets. Serviceable scenes that serve to remind viewers of the state of play: Jaime & Cersei, the High Sparrow & Margaergy, Tyrion and Varys.ĭorne, oh Dorne. Special mention goes to the emphasis on her using her ears to listen. I liked Arya's scene, but then I've always liked her Braavos scene. Khal Moro's banter with his wives and bloodriders is simply the best Dothraki stuff we've ever gotten on the show, and an amusing and clever riff on both Conan the Barbarian and Monty Python's the Spanish Inquisition sketch. The runner up is - surprisingly for me - Dany's scenes. You know, I thought I'd be more angry that Brienne saves the day given she abandoned her post in Season 5, but fuck it I liked the scene, the good guys deserve a win, so I'm just gonna fistpump and move on. Alliser Thorne knocks it out of the park in justifying himself, especially given the poor material he had to work with. Great writing / comedic bits, especially Dolorous Edd being their last hope. Ser Davos really is the heart of the show for me right now, and I love every scene he's in. The Wall, Winterfell & outskirts - I liked it all. My favorite part of the episode was everything in the North. I have no special knowledge on that though.
The right question is whether he's coming back to life - which of course he is, IMO. I'm going to laugh my ass off if Jon Snow really is dead.
