The Dany storyline is going to suck until the end of S6.

I think they're going to speed up her storyline, so that this season will focus on getting to Mereen and taking it over. Then season 5 will focus on her ruling there up to her being taken by Drogon to the Dothraki sea.

By then they'll hopefully have some Winds Of Winter material to work with for season 6 and that will be where her story comes together and she's at least arrived back in Westeros.

Not happening. Her and Daario are gonna rule Slaver's Bay as king and queen and live happily ever after with lots of little Targaarios running around the pyramids in Mereen.

I'm gonna put my faith in the writers since they've done really well thus far in cutting out the unnecessary. I think Dany's storyline is gonna end up being more enjoyable than the books in their hands.

I would think so also. The series writers have the benefit of seeing the weaknesses in the books (where the story drags, etc.) and are able to compensate with the TV production. Most of the inconsistencies between the books and the series have been positive from my perspective.

While I think it's too early in the story for this, Easter would be a good day for the appearance of UnCat.

Agreed for the most part. The only inconsistencies that were negative occurred during season 2 with them not spending enough time on the road with Arya and developing the Mountain, and I think that was due more to trying to squeeze too much into a 10 episode season. And hopefully they are fixing that inconsistency this season.

Posted this in the MGT, but it may get more traction here...

We need to put together a "You might be a count if" list in the style of Jeff Foxworthy. I'd start a thread for it but the word "count" would likely get the thread whacked.

A couple to start:

1. You name your sword
2. You don't give the Hound as many chickens as he wants
3. Your name is King Joffrey

So what happens this episode?

Tyrion's in jail. His first visitor? First day of trial?


Daenerys' army lays siege to Meereen. Daario instead of Belwas fights the Knight on horse?


Does Stannis get shown landing up north or is it a surprise when he shows up, like in the books?

Are you saying Arya is a count? We are going to fricking brawl.

Didn't he say in one of the previews "I'm not getting out of it this time Podrick?" So perhaps Podrick sees him this episode?

No Belwas makes me . I hate Daario so much!!!!

I think Stannis will hop on his boat this episode and be shown in Braavos in episode 5 or 6. Then the big reveal in episode 9.

Are they for sure going with Daario or is there a chance we get to see Selmy be a badass?

Is it understood that he stops by Braavos in the books on the way up? The way I understood it was, the sacrifices he makes produce the winds that takes him straight up north.

If he did stop in Braavos that would be an opening for him to make preliminary meetings with The Iron Bank...hmm.
