My point is that his control of the Vale could be easily stripped by people who would have the incentive and inclination to do so. Sansa and the Lords of the Vale (Bronze Yohn & Co.) could depose him easily and would want to do so. IMO, Littlefinger's only still around because he has some function in the end game of…

Though I enjoyed this episode (last week's not so much), I think it's worse than what you describe. Even the plot is getting short shrift in a way- the show has an endgame, but it's not even taking time to get to that end game sensibly. There's almost reverse characterization, because people are just doing things to…

Plus, in contrast to the books, the Show didn't give Dany a diarrhea vision quest to humble and humanize her.

He definitely should have said "Game of Thrones"- then turned right to the camera and winked.

He made a run for it and is now living large in the Summer Islands.

The Iron Bank had problem with the paperwork and now can't prove that the Iron Throne owes them anything. One of the risks with bundling and securitization.

You've perfectly captured my problem with Euron so far. Plus, he differs so much from book Euron that the two are basically unrecognizable. Show Euron is more like book Victarion mixed with Captain Jack Sparrow.

My point is that anyone whose support he would need to remain Warden of the Eyrie (Sansa, the Lords of the Vale, Jon, Cersei) hates him and wouldn't care if he died (if they don't already actively wish him dead- as Sansa might). Who would support Littlefinger's claims if Sansa, with the Lords of the Vale, moved…

Exactly- just tell Robin that Uncle Petyr killed Robin's mom and that Sansa made him fly. That would be enough to win him over.

To each his own, I guess. But I think Sophie Turner is the most attractive woman left on the show. (My favorite all time was Ros (Esme Bianco), though- anyone remember her?)

He's like Bizarro Littlefinger. What did he possibly hope to accomplish by bringing that up to Jon, especially as he was grieving in the family crypt? I think that the show writers / runners just don't know what to do with Littlefinger anymore and/or don't have the chops (or possibly the time) to make the elaborate…

I was confused by it, and I've read the books and watched Season 1 multiple times. My wife and I were wondering whether Arya was a Direwolf whisperer, charming random Direwolves across the land. After all, Arya said that that wolf wasn't Nymeria.

I assume that he picked the flag ship to land on, figuring that the highest ranking people would be on it.

I thought that it must have been a confusing battle. I assume that Euron's crew was wearing Crow's Eye emblems, but still. I imagine plenty of friendly axes to the face in that battle.

I thought that it was funny that Sam was worried about being caught. I guess he's banking on the maesters not noticing the next morning that Jorah has had most of his skin cut off.

Better known as Whippy and Speary (or maybe Speary and Whippy, I forget which is which)

How did Euron know that Cersei had a particular hatred for Ellaria Sand, and how did he know that they would be leaving by sea?

Basically yes, in the books. But in the show everyone knows he's an evil schemer, they just tolerate his mustache twirling for some reason. He's not even in charge of anyone's finances anymore.

He already did one major thing that she didn't like- giving her to the Boltons. I can understand her keeping him alive until after the Lords of the Vale were brought to Winterfell, but I don't know why she's keeping him around at this point. She obviously loathes him- as shown by the "I'll assume it's something…

He'll just keep standing there twirling his mustache until it's time to strike.
