Disappoint in the episode-

Where was the white cloak protecting Princess Myrcella? In season 2 they showed Arys Oakheart getting on the boat with her. It is not like he is off banging Arianne. They should have let him die in the battle scene.

Replacing Arianne with Ellaria pisses me off more than any other change they've made.

Good call, being a royal she would have a Kingsguard with her. They even made a point of that in the books and show, so where was he?

I kept thinking Bronn and Jamie were going to find him first, sleeping with a whore, then go get Mycella.

I guess the show writers figure everyone forgot about that, like the forgot about there still being three kings left in the war of five kings.

(or did the Iron Islands disappear?)

Ser Oakheart was in both season 1 & season 2(from the GoT site)

Season 1:
Ser Arys was among the guards that attacked Eddard Stark when he tried to de-throne King Joffrey.

He was also present when Ser Barristan Selmy was dismissed from the brotherhood

Season 2
Ser Arys accompanies Princess Myrcella Baratheon as her sworn shield for her journey to Dorne

also i'm not a book reader but the wiki can be interpreted that he was just a sworn shield for her trip maybe?

I took it as a nod and wink to the book readers, that Penny wasn't going to be on the show.

yeah, there are pennies in the books.

You mostly hear about golden dragons, silver stags, and copper stars, but in one of the chapters they mention in passing that someone had 'six pennies'

There is a character named Penny in the books, it doesnt look like she will appear on the show. That is all I'm going to say in case she does.

Hypothetical: is Sansa better or worse off marrying Ramsay than if she had married Joffrey (assume Joffrey lived)?

I probably would say Jeffrey since he was the King and no one could check him. Roose can control Ramsay, I think.

And frick Cersei, Joffrey would not let them religious freaks take his Queen

But I doubt Joffrey would have been as gentle in consummating the marriage as Ramsay was.

I answered you in the book reader thread, but I think she is better off by a mile with Ramsey for the simple fact that she is now back in the North, and the North hasn't forgot. She would be alone and without hope in Kings Landing.

Much safer with Joffrey, assuming Tywin lives its a no brainer.
With Joffrey the Hound might hit her, with Ramsay a hound might hit it.

I think they have setup a situation where she turns on LF in her first oppurtunity and sees through (what we now know) his bullshite about caring about her and she will be his downfall

All this "take revenge" talk he's said to Sansa will bite him in the arse whenever she takes revenge on him for leaving her with Ramsay
