This may sound strange, but I wanted Bronn to die in that moment on the scorpion. I like the character, and I'm sure they have some part for him to play in Jaime breaking from Cersei, but it felt…right for him to die there. It would have added real human stakes for the audience, I think. Plus it was silly in an A-Team…

It seems to be getting worse each season. Maybe it's budgetary. Or maybe they just think the setting doesn't matter anymore.

Did Ramsay's Twenty Good Men survive the Battle of the Bastards? Maybe they're a mercenary company now.

They're foot soldiers, not sailors. Presumably, the ships were sailed by the remaining Iron Islanders, who it has already been established are terrible at their jobs. Unless they sail with Euron, in which case they're supernaturally good at them.

They did the garden paths at my villa. They charge a little more, but it's worth it.

I assume it has to do with where they're shooting, because certain cities have had extras in the background giving the places a sense of life. Braavos and early season King's Landing come to mind. Meereen to some extent.

I assumed it meant he didn't enjoy performing oral.

Unfortunately, only 12 people lived in Dorne, and eight of them are dead.

It was a bit repetitive, I'll grant you that. Though it's been a while since I read the fourth book.

I'm not obsessed with the linear timeline, and I love long, drawn out world building. I do like motivations to be well established and actions to make logical sense for the characters, but maybe that's just me not being willing to suspend reality.

It actually took me out of the show. It didn't fit Game of Thrones, feeling more like a Guy Ritchie movie.

The book motivations are far more complex than Cersei sleeping with whomever suited her purposes. Jaime changed while travelling Brienne and never quite slid back into his old role once he returned to King's Landing. He began to question Cersei's reasoning in his mind and tried to be a better knight than he'd been in…

The same common people who don't seem to care that Cersei essentially set off a bomb in the city and destroyed their church? Even if we pretend that the world makes any god damned sense at this point, drawing in thousands of commoners called to serve in a now broader war and the resulting hardship caused by armies…

Doy? Stop living in the '50s, grampa.

I'd forgotten that bit of lore. So that explains where they got the idea, I guess. Sigh.

I wasn't on board until you brought it home with "DUH".

The show is ridiculous, but let's pretend it's not for a moment. It's also not the wisest thing to give your enemies a stronghold on the mainland. Even if Euron blockades the city, it makes whatever percentage of his fleet he uses for that an easy target for dragon fire. That opens the sea lanes up for provisions and…

My point was that the show doesn't give a shit at this point.

They already declared Jon King in the North with Sansa right there, so yes, they will.

The problem isn't so much when as why. The show has always moved things around as needed, keeping the timeline somewhat vague. The problem now is that there's little to no setup for anything. In earlier and better seasons, you saw negotiations, alliances shifting, the sausage being made, if you will. Now you maybe…
