    He justs wants to see her shoot black shadows out of her hoo-hah.

      **** near the opposite of the books.
      There wasn't much point to Dorne in the books, either. The show is worse, but it was a close thing.

        Lies.

        Prince Doran's long con is quite clearly a major role in the endgame of the series.

        BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

        Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

          It's a meaningless add-on by a writer who is incapable of finishing the mess he got himself into. He should have kept his foot down when his editor pushed for the "7 books for 7 Kingdoms" when he originally had about 4 books worth and had to add mountains of filler.

            Oh sure, and their immediate support of any Targaryen that lands in Westeros is just meaningless filler...

              Well,

              it's an obvious Blackfyre pretender which will take up most of tWOW if and when he writes that and will leave another 20 year wait until it's resolved.

              So yes, filler.

                Prince Doran's long con went up in flames, literally, at the end of Dance. (at least, I think it was Dance)

                  He still has Arianne and (f)Aegon.

                  And, if we want to put on our tin foil hats, there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF7dbXuGTJY

                  But still, whatever happens with Valyrians coming over the Narrow Sea, they've got people well placed in King's Landing and Oldtown.

                        Wow. That was awesome.

                        Effing Ramsey Bolton, though.

                          You knew that when they hadn't burned the body, he was coming back either as his old self or with eyes of blue. As his old self was expected, but with blue eyes would've made it a lot more interesting.

                          Did anyone expect that much humor in the first half-hour of the show? The giant, drunkard and then Tyrion's line to end his time on screen tonight might be the line of the season no matter whatever else may come.

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                            I think the Khal's line "Seeing a beautiful woman naked is one of the FIVE best things in life" deserves mention as well. But yes, that Tyrion scene was great.

                            Honestly, I don't really know how I didn't see the Bolton shakeup coming. Saw the Greyjoy one coming a mile away, obviously. Was supposed to have happened already.

                              Spoiler question in white, although I guess we're doing spoilers here, but anyway:

                              Who was the dude who tossed Greyjoy off the bridge and have we ever seen him before? I caught that it was "brother," but that was all news to me.

                                Too much fan service. They don't want to Buffy-ize this show. That's lazy.
