Nobody talking about Olly looking smug?
Everyone's really riled up with the Dornish kerfufle
At least Doran and Hotah won't have to hear Obara's monologue. Goodnight sweet prince

Besides Dorne, I'm also still really sad about the show's complete disregard for Jaime's character arc.
This could have been a scene from season 1 for him. Just back to complete devotion to Cersei, arrogant, fight everyone mode. They got such a perfect actor for him, and then got rid of everything that I loved about the character.

Episode was pretty cheesy.
It's becoming more and more like a Starz show.
Wife and I rolled our eyes at so many scenes and lines.
It's too bad because the show was excellent for a few seasons

This is the burden we devil's advocates have to bear. Not saying I disagree!
Euron yes, Vic, no. He's likely getting combined into Yara's character.

Just Euron and Yara/Asha Greyjoy

I stopped taking this episode seriously after that.
Oh good. Thanks! Guess it makes sense to merge him into Yara/Asha.

Oops! Or maybe it had something to do with the mirror.. she had to see her reflection without the necklace on or some shit haha.
She has the necklace up her ass in this scene.
I like how GoT changed from an "anyone can die" show to only using death as a way to get rid of characters who are no longer relevant

I love how they cut to him like 4 times while Alliser was talking. Jesus, we got it the first time. What is this? The Walking Dead?
Oh wait...
I'll say this: that was a fucking waste of Alexander Siddig.
Eugh, Dorne is just the worst. I hope they Poochie that plotline and never mention it again
The rest of it was pretty slow, but then again... GOT season premieres are usually like that, so no complaints from me on that regard. Except, maybe, that it was inconsistent. Like, some plotlines actually moved (Sansa and Theon are magically saved by Phasma! The Martell line is DEAD! Daenerys is going to Vaes Dothrak... well, that wasn't much, but still) and others barely moved at all. The Wall was nice, but that's because Ser Davos is a gent, but basically nothing happened except we now know Melisandre is really old.
Ew, Stannis.
Oh, and Arya's no Matt Murdock.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, given last season. The Dorne stuff was horrible, and the mereen/doth raki scenes were low points, but everything else was pretty good. Not sure why some people in this thread seem to think that was it for Dorne. Didn't feel like they were just leaving it at that. I'm sure those annoying characters are gonna keep popping up this season.

I completely fail to see how this show is anywhere near close to being done. The way they've handled the last couple seasons is fucking baffling. Completely excising AFFC/ADWD storylines and then doing a complete about-face and stuffing them back in for Season 5/6 (greyjoys, jaime's storyline most prominently) is something no man on earth could have predicted they'd do.
I'm really not a hater of this show, I've been an ardent defender of it for years and still really look forward to each episode. But some of these decisions are just incredibly bad.

Nah, the show changed Asha Greyjoy to Yara Greyjoy so viewers wont confuse Osha the Wilding with Asha Greyjoy

Don't forget Brienne will be there too.
You can love the show for how passionately the actors and production team fight the hack writers.
It's like D and D are the whitewalkers and they're coming for everyone.

Still not over their complete waste of Ciaran Hinds.

i mean, i've only watched Black Sails and season 1 of Outlander, but based off of that, this show becoming "more like a Starz show" sounds great to me

Dorne aside, that was a pretty solid opening. The Wall stuff was handled very well, and I enjoyed the turns that Sansa and Daenerys' storylines look to be taking.
Dorne... Well, they sorta get props for recognising that the storyline wasn't working and for rapidly accelerating it, but man was it ever kinda goofy.

Show should include Euron's lines from the book
"Godless? Why, Aeron, I am the godliest man ever to raise sail! You serve one god, Damphair, but I have served ten thousand. From Ib to Asshai, when men see my sails, they pray"

The Iron Islands like Dorne is full of edgy characters that will be hard to put on screen without making them look lame. It's a valid concern.
Aren't you glad they didn't though?
Apparently Prince Dorann is now receiving elderly care from Oberyn's paramour, and the sand snakes have infiltrated a ship that has been docked in the harbor for about a month.
At least we know Tyene can stab a stationary target.

My guess is he'll be back by episode 3 or 4 depending on whether or no they skip events at the Wall an episode.

Who needs the Night's Watch to fight the Others when you've got Ramsay's 20 Good Men, Ramsay's Invisible Dogs and the Sand Snakes. That's an unstoppable force right there!
Maybe Old Lady Mel too!

I think it is because Dorne had a lot of trouble last season. I said this earlier in the thread, but I think it still applies. Dorne could have been good, if there was more time to develop it. That's the true crime for it.
Hard to pull off edgy characters in GoT? No way. You just need 20 good men.
Eh, Sansa/Brienne/Theon/Poderick teaming up seems somewhat significant in that I don't see anything for them to logically do other than meeting up with Jon (and/or Bran/Rickson). Them getting captured by the Boltons again would be retreading and I doubt they're heading south.
You need the good men, but you want the bad pussy.

Cinematography was significantly better this episode than the usual episode from the past seasons.

Sooner or later Sansa has to gain power so she can fulfil the prophecy and take down Cersei.
So I imagine she'll spend the season consolidating allies and morphing into the Queen of the North.
