One would imagine that Dorne would be on her side without question, being in laws and all. Not to mention a common hate for the Lannisters.
Yeah...that's what I'm thinking. I haven't noticed a difference and a shadowy shot insn't gonna convince me.

To back up your argument:

I felt this was a great scene for Cersei's character. The audience has come to loathe her at this point, but moments like this make you feel genuine sympathy for her.
It would also be a good place for her armies to land and stage their invasion. There also seems to be, as mentioned, somewhat of a renaissance in Dorne, and Dany has shown herself to be quite progressive. Together they could conquer Westeros so as to bring about major reforms to benefit the common people. So far in the show everyone has only cared about the games of the lords and ladies, perhaps Dany could seek to change that. She has been do far the only person vying for the throne who seems to really care about common people.
It would also give her a motive other than wanting to take back what was her families.
You should check out his scars in the pilot, they are very different from what came afterwards.

So good.
Her and Robert reminiscing is what made me a fan. Still one of the very best scenes in the series:

Lena is a beast
I noticed that. I had made excuses for it being the pilot.

A bit off-topic:
I just gotten in my hands all the books released so far for the A Song of Ice and Fire series from A Game of Thrones all the way to A Dance With Dragons.
Never watched the show before, not an avid TV watcher but I do like reading novels.
Don't know what to expect, but I am pretty excited to begin considering how famous this entire series is. I wonder how fast I can go through all the books: seems so many pages to turn and read, hahaha!

Ouh, sorry, since there is no dedicated thread for this series I thought this is the place to post.
Good to know that the TV series spoils the books! Hahaha. Thanks man.

They don't live in the same world we do though, imagine if someone told you dragon's and shit were flying around, you wouldn't believe them without video or pictures, so how would they prove it to you?
Most would scoff it off as hyperbole.

I am really going to miss Jack Gleeson on this show. What an incredible performance from that kid. Played a truly despicable character really, really well. I'm sure it was a lot of fun for him to do.
The bank of Westeros.

I don't think they're from Westeros. I thought they were from the same place as the faceless assassin dude.
A really, really powerful bank in Braavos.

Yes they're from Braavos.
Do we know in the show if the Bank is private or controlled by a government/State ?

I don't believe so. All we know is that it's in Braavos really.
Given the setting of the show, I'd assume a merchant bank. Central government banking is a pretty modern thing.

Finally caught up!
I'm glad that piece of shit is dead, for one thing, because we all wanted him to, of course, but also because i thought his character got really stale in the last few seasons.
Just dickery after dickery uninterrupted, i get that he's a psycho spoiled brat, but every scene he was in, just had nothing less of him being the most annoying little shit possible.
I found it tiring, and his wedding was no exception, going out of his way to be annoying even when there was zero reason to, dude must have had serious brain problems, that's how i'm justifying him being a one trick pony of a character.
Anyhow, the only real problem i have with this show right now is that there are so many characters, that it's forced to advance plots at a snail's pace in some cases (see Bran or whatever his name is, the kid with the super powers, or even Stannis).
But yeah, otherwise, as fun as always.
I'm really liking the new foreign prince character (i'm awful with names, and i'm afraid to google this show).

Nah, he was in 301. He delivered Davos back to Dragonstone, but he said it was a last favor to Davos and he had no interest in fighting for Stannis anymore.

I feel bad for that guy having his trust betrayed like that. I suppose no one could have estimated that massive amount of wildfire hitting his ships' faces.
Yup, I did this as the two thread titles, at quick glance, are similar to each other. I've almost clicked on the book/spoiler thread a few times myself.
No, you don't get it. I read the books, and she can feel sympathy for the character. But not Leana Heady with 100% cunt-face 100% of the time. She has zero depth. Jesus, it's not like my view on this in anyway unique.
Lena does a great job. I think if you can get over that you don't like her face, you will see the character definitely has a lot of depth and inner-conflict going on, but just chooses to commit 100% to being a turbo-bitch on the outside at all times.
He's not really foreign, Dorne is one of the seven kingdoms.
Even the other characters look at the Dorne as foreigners though. You see it happen multiple times in the last two episodes.

I like Lena. I'm not sure about Cersei. I think she's my least favourite major Lannister :< She's sort of written mostly as thirsty and discontent for having been born a woman and nursing a grudge against everything ever that drove her to do irrational deeds. Whilst this is a 'fun' angle, it also makes the character too made-up for me.
Lena's a very enjoyable actor, though. I have enjoyed her performance in other stuff. I think she's a little miscast as Cersei, but she still delivers well, within the confines of the character's parameters....
