I've just realized Jaime couldn't burn shit because he was supposed to be on a secret mission, and Cersei couldn't just send the letter to Doran and tell him to hand it to Jaime when he sees him. Great, another great moment ruined.

It doesn't matter. Little or none of his development from Feast for Crows has been conveyed in the show. It'd feel hollow at this point.

I didn't care much for his storyline in the Riverlands (mostly because I can't remember a lot of it), but I care even less about Dorne.
Hopefully there's some sort of payoff coming.
He actually voices a lot it to Ilyn Payne.
That's true, I had forgotten about that.
Burning of the letter which I assume is still in, would have been more effective. I particularly liked that Jaime was shown to have a brain in his storyline and not just a disarmed swordsman which is how the show has portrayed him.

I'm hyped for tonight's episode. Hardhome should be amazing. I still think so far this is the weakest season, but they've done a solid job setting up the major climaxes.
I'm presuming Walk of Shame is Ep 10 so Kevan should be back for that and just starting to sort things out.
Not that I recall. As far as show viewers know, Varys is chilling in Essos wondering where Tyrion went.

Probably going to get to apply a GRRM WHY to that one at some point as well.
Selmy :/
It felt pretty sudden and left field in the books to me, it's not really set up.
Don't think so
Yup, it's so weird.

There should be a fairly big leak in about 19 hours.
Don't ask me how I know.

Barring the terrible fight scenes in Dorne, a post I read on reddit has me hopeful for the Dorne plot. Instead of Jaime making peace in the riverlands, he will do so between Dorne and King's Landing. He will see that everything Cersei has said is bullshit, the necklace, that she likes Trystane, and Dorne's grievances. He will get the letter for help and burn it.
And then Doran can make his Fire and Blood speech, but just in terms of a general alliance and fealty for Daenarys.

They'll probably have Littlefinger kill him because reasons. He hasn't had a chance to twiddle his villain moustache in a while.

So are we expecting any big book spoilers tomorrow? Something to do with
The Others, maybe? I'm not sure what they could show that would constitute a spoiler though.

There's been a few instances where, for the sake of a few seconds worth of dialogue being changed here and there, the show has stripped and weakened the motivations of characters and events.
It would have taken no more running time to have had Jaime and Tytion's parting of ways go down like it did in the books, but now, we have a Tryion who seems to be fine aside from not being able to get it up on one occasion and probably has no idea at all that his brother wants to kill him, and Jaime who wants to kill his brother because he murdered their father, as if his brain has become one with Cersei's.
The events in the show seem to have brought Jaime and Cersei closer together instead of driving them apart. It isn't going to be particularly satisfying if we're asked to believe that this Jaime is going to turn on Cersei just because she essentially tricked him into going on holiday.

I'm arguably more angry with you for reminding me of this.
A lot of sources seem to say that
the Hardhome stuff cost some $$$ and is quite ambitious. I'm expecting something fairly big.

So cute
Well, if they cast Mads as Euron...

I had a dream featuring Ramsay in the modern day. He kept calling me via cell phone and I had been forced to make him my liege lord. He was calling for my help on something in NYC. NOT GOOD.
They could've had some cool castle sieges.
Euron is already cast, bruh.
I still can't deal with the fact that they are casting Euron. I hope in the end the casting is some big troll or something.

Is it a religious thing, though? I never saw it as a religious custom, more of a folk custom.
Winds of Winter will be out in possibly less than a year.

New episode tonight: Hardhome
Yeah it seems more like a "wow you gotta be a real asshole to do that" custom to me. Not so much a "you have dishonored the gods" doctrine.
What is the difference between speaking to Ilyn Payne and inner monologue?

Wouldn't be surprised if there was no dany moment that episode
Jon/sansa/arya centric, maybe a little bit of dorne shit (more tits hopefully)
