i think it would go to stannis, if he's alive

if not, no idea. i don't think westeros, other than dorne, does female succession. she'd be queen regent until the heir showed up?

I guess he still could be alive. Personally, I think Stannis, Oberyn, Tupac, Biggie, and The Hound are somewhere in Bravos playing dominoes.

All I know is that the Mad King is the GoT version of Saddam. None of this shite would have happened if we just let the a-hole stay in charge.

they kind of teased that he was alive when roose and ramsey were talking, referencing they didn't know which man killed him

Rewatched it.

I've barely cared what happens with Dany and now I care even less. Feels like Tyrion was sent to Meereen just to keep that story line remotely interesting. Other than him, don't care what happens.

SFP is getting grief, but he's right. The Dorne plot blows. We've seen nothing of it. The Vipers have enough political clout to pull off a coup and no one blinks twice. Zero context. Other than the hot little chick, the Vipers are boring.

Sansa needs to start balling hard. Finally met up with the Stormtrooper Captain and Pod. Reek redeems himself, so he's dead soon. But I'm tired of waiting for her to grow a set of tits and bring forth some justice.

Pretty clear that Jon is coming back. He, Ser Davos, the handful of loyal crows, and the Red/Old Titty Witch make for an interesting crew. Can't wait for them to slay all the traitors at Castle Black.

Cersei and Jamie will watch the world burn. That's pretty much their existence at this point...which is cool with me. It's been a while since Cersei has laid the smack down on all those plebs in King's Landing.

Arya is Jean Claude Van Dame in training for "Bloodsport". Her story is dragging a bit, but hopefully it picks up because I love me some Arya when she's in beast mode.

Tyrion with the line of the night with the "you have no cock" retort. Tyrion 1, Varys 0 in your box score.

Ramsey still a cold-blooded mofo, but daddy pimp-slapped him hard. Ramsey will want blood, brains, and balls for Sansa running off...not necessarily in that order.

No Bran. No Hodor. No White Walkers.

A 40-something minute episode was pretty shitty, BTW. HBO ran a season 5 marathon all day, yet spent 7-8 minutes rehashing it. Seems legit. Who doesn't binge-watch GOT prior to the new seasons?

All in all, clearly a set-up episode, but kind of a dud after a 10-month wait.

Biggest gripe about the episode

Rewatching the episode.

The fight scene after Sansa gets discovered by the hounds!

After the fight, never see guy with hounds or the killer hounds get killed.

They just disappear!

WTF!?

I thought I had just missed it when I took my Game of Thrones bread out the oven.

Second watch through I was riveted.

Hounds are there. Then the dude with the hounds and the hounds that were just sniffing at Sansa, the ones Theon warned would tear her apart and that freezing to death was better,

Gone. Just poof.

bullshite.

About to be them AND Sansa/Brienne/Theon/Gendry. That's the only story line that I have faith in progressing quickly. At least it fricking better.

This episodes is for the all too loyal fanboys to sit around and go "there's arya!". "Tywin!" "Cersei! I hate that bitch! But there's Jamie! He's cool!".

Not much at all happened with the storyline except the dorn inner advancement. The dothraki's + dany.. All this time for an episode to mostly just show faces.

As I watched that scene, the whole time I wondered what would happen to the hounds. You knew Brianne would save the day....but hounds just made like smoke babies and vanished like a fart in the wind.

I personally think that some focus group gave them flack about killing dogs. Maybe PETA or some shite. And so that part got edited out or some such nonsense.

You can kill horsies but not puppies.

No explanation, or plausible out.

Just David Copperfielded that shite

Good call. Plus Margy made a lot of friends in King's Landing via helping the impoverished and generally showing her face when the true king Lord Joffrey Baratheon was too good for them.

And we're all forgetting about two characters that have a legit chance to take control of it all:
Robin Arryn
Ser Pounce

I don't know who that is, but OK.

They were both jokes, but Robin, if he weren't such a pussy and played shite right, could easily take over a lot of Littlefinger's power. He owns the Veil (just looked it up, Veil, not Vail), and has already gotten Sansa pretty moist over his power. The Veil + the North = a force to be Rickoned with (LOL, remember him!!).
