Dorne and the handling of Stannis upset me. He should have railed northern houses, not gone out like a crazy bitch. Dorne was just a waste, that made the entire Dorne/Targaryen conspiracy a waste of time.

This was the biggest misstep to date. Especially with Little Finger setting him up to be the greatest military mind of the generation. Totally unforgivable for him to get taken out by "20 good men".

I was sure the Vale was going to back Stannis.

I saw Jon teaming up with Stannis and maybe Stannis dying in battle. Instead they had him die off screen while injured, after he killed his daughter and his men.

Upsetting. I can't see Stannis burning Shireen at all. Will be shocked if it's in the books too.

Renly's gayness helped him get the support of House Tyrell once, who says it couldn't also work for the Blackfish.

Looks like they're setting Mereen up to be run by Grey Worm and Missandei whenever Dany and Tyrion head back to westeros

It's almost impossible in the books. Stannis is in the field against the Boltons. Selyse and Shireen at the wall, in transit between Eastwatch and the Nightfort, staying temporarily at Castle Black.

So, if Stannis comes back before whatever it is happens to him? Maybe. The only things in favor of anything like this are their and Melisandre's presence at the Castle Black and Davos' absence (in the books).

Missandei and Grey Worm are such boring asses to be playing off Tyrion. The only point they're making is they don't like the slavers. In King's Landing Tyrion had Cersei, Tywin, Varys, Littlefinger, Janos, Pycelle, Bronn, and Joffrey. Now it's only these two and Varys.

I think they are fricking up with the whole Ramsey is the Lord of the North who has Rickon prisoner storyline. The best part of ADOD is Roose's control of the North and the meeting of the Northern families at Winterfell.

The book seems to be pointing that Jon will eventually leave the Wall to rescue Sansa and Rickon will have another role to play later down the line. It seems to me that HBO wanted to make Sansa a stronger character so the pushed her to being the Stark that will take back Winterfell.

I cannot stand what the show has done to Ramsey.

They should've let Grey Worm die last season.

Grey worm dying instead of Barriston would've been much better

Barriston had to die in order for Tyrion to enter the picture. I doubt Dany accepts Tyrion's counsel if Barriston is still around to let her know what a drunk whore monger Tyrion is.

Agreed. It looked like that was going to happen when he almost saved him at the end.

That's a much bigger frick up than what they've done with Ramsay. He's still Evil Marty McFlay in both the show and the books.

But Barristan going down to the Sons of the Harpy defending fricking Grey Worm. fricking Grey Worm. If you're going to kill Barristan, at least wait 4 episodes for the Fighting Pits where he can save Dany from death.

Plus how much better would Mereen be right now if it was Barristan instead of Missandei and Grey Worm taking offense to what Tyrion is doing? Those two have no passion whatsoever and it's like watching paint dry. Barristan vs Tyrion would be entertaining.

Why does he care that Tyrion likes to drink and pay for pussy? He fully admits he does.

I could see him having Lannister hate but growing up in KL, I'm sure he saw the dustain his family had for him
