That's not really accurate. The writers might also forget about him and he will just exist in superposition states of both dead and alive, like Ghost.

So Preston on his podcast said that Emilia Clarke had preemptive Botox and therefore her face never moves - does anyone have sources that support such a claim?

esperterra posted:

Like, the Sand Snakes all being animu characters with personality specific killing methods was a little extra, sure, and Quentyn was a useless tangent, but the overall story going on there is interesting, and ties directly into KL, Essos, even Oldtown. Besides, we can handwave that extra poo poo because it seems Dornish folk are pretty melodramatic and flamboyant, anyway.

What we got in the show was bad pussy.

I expect Quentyn and his fate to have serious implication for the plot going forward - the son of one of the great houses got burned. The Aegon camp, when they go up against Dany, will argue that she truely is the Mad Kings daughter, breaking the marriage contract and burning the honorable Quentyn Martell. Aegon will therefore easily get the support of this uncle, even though he can't marry his cousin, given that he needs the support of the Tyrells and therefore will marry Margery.

Doran's revenge scheme consists of hoping really hard that something happens.

Dorne is poo poo in the books and it's pretty impressive that the show version is worse.

Fraid your information was wrong there, last episode was only supposed to be normal time. This episode was billed as the long one.

This episode is going to be something special, I mean it consists of the following events:

The great meeting in the banter pits
Theons redemption II - Ironborn Boogaloo
Boatsex-incest proofing wedding montage
Littlefinger's death - D&D proofing that Arya's season 6 arc was not the worst they could do
The melting of the wall


I guess the episode will get a 9.8 on IMDB.

Littlefinger's end will only annoy me for what happened to Sansa. Turning LF into a useless character isn't new, that's happened plenty of times in this show. But throwing Sansa to a rapist in the process was utterly unforgiveable. I went with the storyline for a bit, hoping there would be some ultimate "evil, but it made sense to him" reasons for it, but nope it was just gratuitious rape for the sake of things, destroying two characters just so Ramsay could be hated more (if that was even possible).

There's much about this silly show I have loved, plenty I've tutted at, but I will never let go of this grudge about what was done to Sansa because it did finally turn out to be a nasty, illogical, salaciously vile storyline for pure shock value alone.

Sansa is a combination of 3 characters none of which are Sansa which is why it comes off as weird Jeyene Pooyle/Arya/like good Cersei for some reason

The biggest shame about Littlefinger being killed this episode is that it will mean nothing. There won't be any repercussions from it - he just won't be in the show any more. That's probably going to be true for every death from here on out.

Truthiness!
The Dorne stuff from the books, spoiled princess and all, is GRRM gardening from "Huh, wonder what happened to Myrcella?" It's a plot point that the autists in this thread should generally appreciate, but Book Dorne, while legitimately cool to meet and get to know, went into stupid directions just like the rest of the book plots. But I really liked it, especially at first, and the Dornish culture is different enough that it was cool to hang out there for a minute.

The point about Theon having impregnated all the whores is fair, and any sequel series worth its salt (heh) would be about his bastard children all murdering each other for control of those hilariously useless islands of Greyjoy rock. Worth noting that Alfie Allen rules, but Book Theon is meant to be strikingly handsome.
