I always pictured the Iron born as dark haired Vikings.

Should not be to hard to pull off.

Agree. There is something in that shot of Snow's blood. My first thought was something along the lines of Mel is going to pull his blood from the snow and use it later down the line.

But there is some lyrical symmetry with Jon's Snow blood on snow and perhaps his death as a bastard and reborn as royalty?

But there was something to that shot.

I think we are reading into things too much.

This episode reminded me of reading dance with dragons. Everything around the north is good and the rest is shite.

the sand snakes are so bad...

the one with the spear is just god awful and cringeworthy everytime she is on screen

I really hope Cersei/Jamie just kills them quickly this season so the whole Dorne storyline dies

What sucks is, I guess Dorne means little in the books if the show made these changes.

Dorne really sucks in the show, also love that the Hodors think Dorne is a city state and not one of the seven kingdoms.

Did anyomne read the spoiler a week or two ago? Looks like they had it all wrong, I thought it was BS.

the biggest plothole in the episode...where did the Bolton Bloodhounds go after they found Sansa.

They saw a squirrel.

I bet they cut the dogs getting killed from the show. Afraid of backlash. Okay to kill wolves, not dogs I guess.

Gone. Just poof.

Hounds got one sniff of Brienne and knew who the alpha bitch was.

Seriously, that might be the most egregious mistake I've seen in the show yet.
I really hope HBO doesn't lose what balls it has and bow down to these SJWs.

What they showed tonight didnt look like a 125 year old lady

How many 125 year old ladies have we seen? I would expect a nude 125 year old to look something like that. Maester Aemon was ~ 102 when he died, and this is how he is portrayed in the books

It is completely reasonable for Mel to be Sheira based on appearance. There is no way she would be Bloodraven and Sheira's daughter though, she would only be 80 or so and that old hag was at least 120

I am waiting for the salon/huff post article about how the show is sexiest because every female leader is completely ineffective and puts their family in a worse position. Or in dany's case burn cities down until men tell her how to lead.

I'm really hoping Arya gets back to Westeros by the end of this season.

she was about to be tossed around the Khalisar but she said the magic words, she is a widow to Khal Drogo. It saved her from getting raped, but then put her where she didn't want to be in season two, in the Dosh Khaleen at Vaes Dothrak.

I'm guessing Tyrion lets the other dragons go to find her.

At least needs to be on a boat back. We don't have a ton of seasons left.

This has to happen this season. I'm thinking she is there by mid season after her training.
