It's Ireland blown way the frick up. Westeros is supposed to be the north-south equivalent of North America. It takes a month just to get from Winferfell to KL

going back a few pages to the lannister honeypot theory, i always liked it but never really believed it and don't necessarily think that bc she was murdered along with the starks totally disproves the theory.
i mean look at poor dontos. you eliminate a lot of variables by killing someone.

Yeah, but I'd think the show would imply it at least. Dontos had to die since he was a loud mouth drunk who would eventually tell Tywin that Littlefinger had Sansa once he ran out of gold.

Exactly.

yeah, once again, i don't believe it but it's definitely interesting. either way, with or without it, the lannisters played their end game.

I enjoyed it, but I always pictured it as more of an indoor wedding.

I thought it was done really well, I thought it would have been at night. Glad they included the dwarfs

well, technically the wedding was indoors...the reception was outdoors.

Weddings have never been the problem in Westeros, it's the receptions afterwards where people tend to die.
But by Dothraki standards, only the Red Wedding was not a dull affair. Purple Wedding had only one death, Khal Drogo would not have been impressed.

Not only that, but if they find his body then do they tie it to the murder? Cersi certainly wouldn't want that since she just wants Tyrion dead (she blames him for the death of their mother since she died giving birth to him, this was mentioned in a previous season).

So is Jamie going to quit the Kings Guard now?

hat's actual not true. The gif thats online is from dress rehearsal, and yes that happened.
However, on the actual airing of the show, he has the one hand and no coffee cup.

I don't know, we never heard whether the grooms death counts for bonus points in Dothraki weddings.
