Can we all agree that Roose is so fucking dead? Dat Ramsay face.

I love Pokken!
Don't forget this amazing piece of dialog.
That has to be the fakest beard i ever saw
I wouldn't be worried about the season. You should worry about the dialogue. The season is definitely going to be very badass if what I'm hearing is correct.
I just fear we'll never, ever have a return to season 4's quality.

Why not? He probably had some stuff to do before he left home forever.
I would assume Roose would be smart enough to suspect something like that.

And why was he painting those dumbass looking eye rocks they put on dead people?
Everything with Dorne was sloppy and dumb but what else is new.
Melisandre megaton though we all suspected that since her flashbacks in ADWD. The way it was shot was really well done, and they even featured the oils she threw into the tub to explain away that one scene where she was without her magic ruby in the tub w/ Selyse.

Very weak episode. Some of the Wall stuff was nice, and overall I liked the pacing of the episode even if I didn't like the scenes; didn't feel like a clip show, which some of the other premiers felt like.
suspecting's not enough when you've got Ramsay and his 20 Good Men
I say Trystane was on the same boat and was staying on board to keep him safe considering Myrcella's death and he was painting the stones for her corpse. His cousins jumped on their own boat a day after he left and have been with him the entire time just waiting for the signal to kill him.

The Dorne stuff didn't bother me too much on first watch, but as I think about it more it's concerning. What was the point of any of it, including last season's nonsense? It actually brought the rest of the show way down.

Somebody make a copy of the ME3 meme of "Yo I murdered some Martells because I want to get vengeance for murdered Martells"
This seems like a nail in the coffin for me. He was definitely painting those for Myrcella's funeral which he would be attending since he was on the boat with Jaime and co since it was the only boat that left Dorne, it was a Martell boat and it arrived in King's Landing. Plus Myrcella died out at sea so why go back to drop off the Trystane if his wife to be just died. He would make the journey with his men and his boat to KL still I'm sure for the funeral.
That's what I mean. I don't want to watch this show walking dead style where I have to fast forward through dialogue.
Seems pretty obvious, right?

Not as good as S1E1 and S4E1, but better than Season 2, and Season 5's premiere. On par with Season 3's, I'd say.

I still can't get over how terrible the Dothraki look in this show. Good god.

I'd say it was about on par with other season premieres. Not any more or less excited after seeing it.
Will be interesting to not know anything about the story beats.

If they delay Bran any more the dude will have a full beard by the time he's show on screen again
We got Greedy Bitch this season.
Will it look more real than the Dothraki beard?

If I saw these two shots outside of the actual episode, at a glance I'd think they were from a Porn Parody of GoT
Nerds are really good at honing in on details, but not so good at stringing ideas together from context.
Also, they're super literal, which is why I think many people are missing the point on the Melisandre scene. I guess we'll have to wait until next week to know for sure, though.
GRRM spent nearly a whole book on Dorne and it was still terrible. Good on D&D for recognizing their mistake and hitting the delete key as many times as necessary.
Who knows? I thought for sure the Lannisters would keep him as a hostage or kill him outright.
Because the writers can't think beyond the book so best to kill him.

We won't, because the horrible dialogue seems to be on trajectory for even worse meme worthy crap.

Season 4 was a very good overall season, but Season 2's Blackwater is still its best episode. Never leaving King's Landing for the entire length of the episode afforded it a level of focus that the show's format never allows otherwise.
In the book Dany's whole problem has been not having a fleet to sail her army to Westeros. Meanwhile in the show, they establish that she does have a fleet parked in Meereen. I assume that during season 4 they said "fuck it" to the Greyjoy arc, which in the book it has always been assumed to be the plot device for Dany to obtain a fleet thanks to the Ironborn. I guess now they've decided to reintroduce that and thus burnt her fleet in order to make the Ironborn important again.

Game of Thrones Season Premiere Shocker: Actor Reveals Making of THAT Final Scene
I really hope that is the end of the Dorne filler. It's clear no one really gave a shit out it on the writing staff either. I'm just going to pretend the inconsistency with Mel is more to do with that crappy mirror showing us her true form and then after that going back to seeing her how she really looks without the glamour. Can't remember did she need to use an item in the books for when she did the glamour on Rattleshirt? IIRC Mance had an enchanted ruby or something.
So sloppy this show has become...

It's not about stringing ideas together, its literally about the show makers making a huge mistake that doesn't make sense. Like they could've just dropped a line saying "He went back to Dorne" or "Obara and Nym joined up with us later". It's legit bad editing and writing on their part. Hate to see a big show like this screw up something so easily avoidable.
Plus, yes, I'm a huge GoT nerd and actually liked the Sunspear chapters with Arianne, Hotah and Doran, so it pains me to see it reduced to what the show is showing :/

Loved: Sansa and Brienne part, Davos and Edd, Tyrion of course - but especially the oath scene. I got chills. Pod helping out was a great touch. Only complaint is that she didn't need Theon's permission.
Liked: the assassination scene. yes, I liked a Dorne thing. It was well shot, the build up was mostly unexpected. The last shot of Aria---I mean, Ellaria's back as they pull out and announce a matriarchal rule was actually pretty good to me. The ships burning were great.
Disliked: Sansa is dead - no kidding, she like five feet behind me. Come on Theon - at least put some distance between you and her. Cersei is probably emotionally exhausted but you'd think she would have just a tiny bit more left in her to react when Jaime is coming up in the funeral ship. I under stand she's probably dead emotionally by now, but she looks almost bored.
Strongly disliked: the Monty Python homage "Yes, yes, they built roads and gave us education, but what ELSE did they give us?" I think it was done fine, but the scene should have had more severity and that moment of levity kind of broke the tension they were building and because it was so ridiculous and slapstick it changed the tone of the entire scene
Also, the strangely unnecessary jab at Varys' missing cock.
I want to be, but honestly every move forward the show makes I start to wonder/doubt that George will go in that direction. We see plotlines going in 180 degree differences from the established books, so who knows if any of this is ever going to be in a book? Doran might die in his sleep or Brienne may never meet Sansa or Davos might never even get to the wall to help Jon Snow.
So other than some substantiating theories like that Mel had a glamour, the rest of the show is going to feel like someone drawing a nice interpretation of a painting while we wait for the artist to finish his actual painting.

What is the confusion surrounding her scene? I've seen some people interpret it as if she can't just put the choker back on and resume the glamour but that should be cleared up next episode if it's not obvious enough.

Brienne's vow to Sansa was amazing. I loved how Sansa stumbled through it. This is pretty much the first moment when she is in charge of someone.
