Yea, I still don't know why they had to send him to Dorne. The Riverlands plot was/is great in the books.

When Davos gave his speech, I was like "are you kidding me?" Like, Davos who has no ties to the North and no real name is the person to get Mormont allegiance? Jon Snow is my favorite book character, but the show has made him look incompetent to the point of nausea. First, they make Sam be the one to suggest Old Town

Uh… Hmm, I guess that could make sense for the show. In the books, the Waif isn't completely fixed on beating up Arya. This is a show invention.

Cleganebowl can't happen on the show because Arya HAS to be the person who kills the mountain. Right? She only has 3 show people left on her list (The Mountain, Walder, and Cersie). Why have her go through all of that training just to kill one or two people?

But Arya made it personal by sparing Lady Crane. Correct?

Yup. Agree 10%.

Cleganebowl:

I disagree with a lot of your points, but rather than pointing every disagreement out I'll say that the show has only had 10 episodes per season to flesh out an enormous story that is still being written. Of course some of the story and dialog feels clunky at times, but ultimately the show is doing a nice job adapting

Where are Asha (Yara) and Theon going with the fleet?

The Starks are blinded by honor.

I loved the play because you get to see how Westeros perceives the North. We've heard so often that the North are the equivalent of country bumpkins, which is totally on display during the play.

He also tried to run off after Ned died.

But don't you think the show will make Benjen "Cold Hands?" That's what I think is coming even though it's not canon.

Cold Hands. Has to be.

I seroiusly hope this doesn't come down to Bran altering the past. I can't accept that.

Jon tells him that he'll be back. Edd is just holding down the fort.

True that. I doubt it'll happen in the books but the show is always a possibility.

Right, he tells her at the end of the conversation. Maybe he's trying to force her hand by showing her that she doesn't have many options.

Maybe just to help Bran learn how to control his visions, maybe how to travel to the past?

I imagine that Bran will just learn how to kill them.
