The stuff in the op is accurate?

As accurate as a leak on Reddit can be, but there have been photos of the actors that back some of them.

No they are all pretty different. But all forgettable too and all about Dorne in the books is very very boring

But that's the difference I guess: in the books, the Dorne part is detailed, long and boring. In the show, Dorne is short, fast and stupid

And don't forget we're missing Darkstar and Arys. And the ever important Quentyn.

I prefer the short, fast and stupid.

I remember there are some videos that Dorne wasn't planned a lot, so it was rushed.
Edit: Here it is

But for the critique they receive a dance and feast have so many story lines and so convoluted, that I imagine the nightmare to make a season of them.

Or his wolves.

Tell me he owns wolves

Also tell me one day that he is eaten by them

He supports a wolf sanctuary in New Mexico. So maybe calling his wolves it is an exaggeration.

Edit:
After a quick research he helped them with $200,000.

People complaining about Ed Sheeran is dumb.

Liked the episode a lot and even re watched it on the morning. Always liked the hound, but after gently caress the king moment, his scenes are even better.

I remember an intro to logic class once showed me a class of arguments that could never be falsified but weren't useful information. Like if I sold you a car, and I told you this car flies, it's a flying car, no foolin', but it malfunctions on every day there are sunspots. You might want to wait for a day without sunspots to see it fly but unfortunately there are literally always thousands of sunspots burning constantly. There will never be a day without them until the sun burns out entirely. You can know it. You can know it's a bullshit argument and that one has nothing to do with the other but you'll never have your perfect day with no sunspots and a car that doesn't fly and get to say aha, I proved you are a goddamn liar.

Similarly, where in this book is there any gathering of characters where nobody is a liar? There are always lies. And sometimes there's wine. I'm not impressed by the correlation.

I find it just a funny theory, I guess that is what happens when the time between release is 202....

Still nothinmg tops the mermen theory.

And GRRM himself said in one interview that he didn't think that 700 ft was too tall until the show.

Martin was surprised by the height and thought:
