You guys are cracking me up. It's not like they can get ahead with the other storylines. I guess they could go into more detail with Arya, Little Finger, Tyrion, etc. It's not like they can just spend the episode moving further along over there.

bullshite. They can damn sure expand on scenes for other storylines. I mean there are always about 10+ plots going on, yet Dany gets a shite ton of screen time and almost nothing ever happens. shite, (like someone said) I'd rather Theon and Ramsay than seeing Dany be stagnant for 20 minutes an episode.

And I love action on the show, but don't need people breaking necks and cashing checks for 60 minutes. But Dany is just straight up boring now. And even the dragon scenes are meh these days (though the quick one when Drogon scared her this episode was pretty solid).

shite, the dialogue in a lot of scenes is awesome...I'll take that instead of Dany with that smirk on her face. I could watch Tyrion and Varys talk about the weather all day long...give me more of that. But on top of all that, we still haven't seen Brandon/Hodor yet this season, or Theon/Ramsay (which includes Yara sailing around to help them), or Rickon/Osha, Jorah Mormont, Tormund/wildlings, etc. All of that would be better than some of the Dany bullshite we have to endure.

And goddammit, I still want to know if there is a chance that the Hound could still be alive. I know it's not likely, but he was far too badass of a character to be killed by Brienne IMO.

ETA: This was what I said last season about Dany (the season finale thread I believe):

Dany. UGH. So now not only are you sticking around in fricking Slaver's Bay/Mereen, but she locks up her dragons as well? So her boring, uninteresting storyline actually managed to get worse? And she's such a shitty "leader" that people are now requesting to go back into slavedom where, you know, "life was good." Good Lord. Can someone just kill that chick soon so we can at least focus on shite that will matter in the future? My only hope is that the Drogon dragon is still out there, so maybe he can frick some shite up at some point. If the dragons become a backburner story in this shite, I will be pissed off, because they've spent SO many seasons now building those bastards up.

My fear is that the Dany/dragons shite won't add up to much in the end. This show has a tendency to build things up to either not pay them off or to disappoint people. If that happens with the dragons it's gonna suck. That's one reason I'm not happy with her choosing to stay in Mereen/Slaver's Bay instead of continuing on to Westeros.
