I thought it was a fairly decent episode and pretty much par for the course. In any season, there's never more than 1 1/2 episodes that really knock it out of the park

how was this episode any better or worse than previous?

well the Dorne storyline is so stupid it's borderline retarded, so there is no point in trying to make sense out of Dorne



Dorne is the new Vail for me. How big/powerful is it exactly?

LF is currently a bachelor. The MILF from Dorne/Niobe from Rome could make for a powerful bride, and they would have a shared enemy in the Lannisters. The Vail + Dorne + controlling the North via Sansa = a legit army to take the Iron Throne for Littlefinger.

the dorne stuff was downright bad

cersei/jaime seemed like 2 different characters. bad dialogue

brienne and pod was hokey. pod goes from inept to killing a hand-picked, hardened bolton fighter?

and they burned the ships in mireen. they're never leaving

the wall stuff was good. i have no complaints about bravos, either

Is that the shithole that Joffrey/Tywin gave him? Where Arya was captive? I was under the impression that it's more trouble than it's worth.

i don't know. i think Dorne is more withdrawn and defensive

i don't know what kind of an offensive force they could muster

Go to 3:00 mark. Little Finger is marching on Winterfell with an army from the Vale.

but it's never been "good"? They dumped some mediocre story line, cast with a slew of unattractive and uncompelling actors last year already, and then peppered them throughout as random filler

if it was bad, it wasnt any worse than normal

Now I feel like a hardcore Comatose Khal. Littlefinger has some control over Tyrell terriroty? With the shitty arse cult controlling King's Landing + a pussy arse non-Joffrey King, plus Dany never going anywhere, that would make him THE most powerful person in Westeros.

season 5 was a severe drop in quality. this seems to be continuing the season 5 level and quality path

no but they're allies and if all out war were to go down, i presume that alliance would be revealed in the open

but the tyrells are busy trying to save their 2 golden children, so they probably can't do much

yep and yep

there's an established pace and weekly checklist now. They're just following the formula

it's not the most captivating weekly episodic TV I've seen, but its not terribly bad

yeah i said it was just mediocre

dorne is bad, though, and they should feel bad for it. the shitty 1-liners after the prince was killed add to the aura

OK, thanks. So much happens in this show and I have a shitty memory. Totally forgot that this happened (LF + Gamgam Tyrell):

I wonder, if something were to happen to Tommen, would Margy Tyrell take over as legit queen? LF could arrange Tommen's death and marry into his new friend's family. It would make sense for both him and the Tyrells. That would give him King's Landing, the Tyrell's, the Vail, AND a friend in the North via Sansa.

I mean, winter/the White Walkers are coming, so it doesn't matter, but LF could quickly become the boss. I hope it happens as Gillen as Dinklage are the two best actors representing the two best characters on the show.

The most important thing for this show to do right now is kill off the religious folk in King's Landing. Awful storyline.
