Ya, I think that was simply a case of necessity… she needed to get to safety and he said come with me… she trusted him in the moment, but I think she still believes that his being there undermines her as a ruler in the eyes of the people… as Tyrion pointed out… "he can not be by your side"… but that's just my initial…

I agree with all of that… I fully think Dorne was artistically selected (Over the iron born) for the season as the "brighter… prettier" location… It was a decidedly grey tone this year. However I think that it all culminating in what I must assume will be a civil War in Dorne next season leaves us hope that it's done…

Jorah? Really? I hadn't even considered him… but that may be the only thing that makes Dany accept him back… interesting.

So you believe Jon will be brought back? Will he be "changed" or just Jon Snow still? Tyrion and the Targaryan connection has always intrigued me… and I suspect that's a good guess. Maybe bran will warg the walkers… "winter is coming" are the stark words… But there was a reference to the fact that he'll never walk…

Ramsay has to be thinking about killing Roose…
I fear the Tyrells in custody may be victims of the war coming to the Sparrows
Lady Olenna… don't know, but can't wait to find out…

looking forward: Who is gonna ride the other two dragons? Are there more secret Targaryan's out there? Can the wildlings drive the plot in the North? Who will oppose the Bolton's. Note: Littlefinger's plan did not come to fruition as Stannis didn't provide a fight… but… as far as Bolton knows.. littlefinger is still a…

My concern is the extent of injury… I don't know that they would be "fine" and able to run… But I suspect for the plot to move they will have very minor injuries… I'm fine with "they landed in the snow drifts of winterfell" as an explanation though… certainly not dead… though that would be the most bizarre plot twist…

I couldn't disagree more… Ned was simply the hook… the epiphany where we realize this is not conventional story telling… the narrative foundation… far from the narrative climax…

Me niether… But Jaime wouldn't know that definitively.

Good point about the context… not "you have done X" but more you will not prevent MY plan of Y"… But it still seems she was not sorry and defied him again anyway, because I can't imagine he was in on the poisoning.

I could see the snakes organizing the trip to Meereen… I am sure the dornish plan(s) are big… I can't see Tristane or Doran being privy to any of this… but they too have something up their sleeves

He has nothing, but he is the last Baratheon (supposedly). Maybe the blood magic saved him? In honesty it it looks like when she screams she pulls back like something changed her mind… maybe she thinks she can trade him? assuming she thinks Sansa is just a captive and knows nothing more… perhaps She sees him as an…

Aren't they still pissed because she let the witch do magic on Drogo? I feel like her future is quite uncertain.

It was also to show Arya's discipline… she was not affected by the pain

I thought he was referring to Missande at that point… but you're right that never happened.

step one (point of no return)… sacrifice daughter… step two… have half your men leave with horses… step 3 have your wife commit suicide… step 4 hear that yous priestess has abandoned you with out a word… he was very much unraveled by the time he heard the horses coming and likely just leading a bunch of men… it was no…

1. What happened to make reek do that A/ He knows the master is busy off site… B/ We have seen reek on the edge several times here he is attacking Myranda who i'm sure he fears less… C/ And most immediately "Let me die wjhile there's still part of me left" Directly invokes Theons experience and his repeated note: "Not…

Ya… to me it was clearly made to look dangerous and risky… like something only a desperate person would do… no way are they dead… accidentally or otherwise as some suggest… I do question how mobile they would be after landing and would very much have preferred a look at (or hint of) what's coming next for sansa
