She has proof that there is power and magic… and proof that there was at a time a purpose for her… She could be questioning if hers is the "one true god" or she could be questioning if her "role" has played out and maybe she has been the pawn in some other larger story? Has the lord of light forsaken her NOW? I'm sure…

Watching her do the Oath thing with Brienne was the first stumble step (she didn't know the words) on her rapid assent to become Queen of the North! I can't wait until she meets up with Littlefinger again…

Last season was the first one where I felt like several things were "thrown in" for TV purposes that had no other value than… "This sells on TV…" Still the good parts were really good. But prior to last year I didn't really feel like there were "bad"" parts… as such. I think thios year will be better… I also worry…

Yes… and a lesson… have some faith in young Arya… also note: she is a Blind Assassin…

I was really hoping that Doran was playing a long game and I was curious to see it doled out over time. He was the most interesting part of the story there. I really wish ellaria was better… Maybe she'll get better… but honestly, with Cersie, and Margerie, and arya and Dany and my personal favorite the Queen of…

The ship was docked… Jaime took the small boat to land. I still couldn't say how the sand snakes got there or why Tristane wouldn't be guarded at least… It's sloppy.

having magical powers is not the same as being the one true god. What I'd see as more of a hitch is that she has Seen resurrection and knows that dead may not mean dead… she was shocked when she found this out… BUT, having that knowledge as well as (clearly) having plaid the long game in getting here… One might think…

Also, there was a plurality at the election… Snow had one more vote than Thorne… but there was a third candidate and chances are Jon never had the majority support… He had few friends, and as people whispered the number probably dwindled as well.

That's true… and I guess it's also true that no character, or group is "just one thing", save for maybe the unsullied and they did some "humanizing" emotional stuff with Greyworm last season that also struck me as out of place. But then, this is what makes post airing reviews and conversations so intreresting

Brann will be a catalyst for some very interesting stuff this year I suspect. His plot should be far more interesting now.

It's a network in the show as well I think. He is too well informed and Littlefinger was speaking on the networks (which birds belong to who) in an earlier season I think.

and in charge it seems

The cliff hanger was will they escape after this jump… They are still on the hunting grounds… and they almost don't escape… and they are saved. I heard people speculating after the finale that they might have died… this was not ever a legitimate theory IMO.

There are many strong women on the show… Ellaria stinks. She is not a strong woman, she's just impetuous… The "no weak men will rule Dorne" was a wink in the direction you were going. But the poor writing is not due to gender or relative stregth… it's a poor story with a poor cast… OMG… that is so UN-GoT-ish when I…

Pushing someone causing them to flip and splat… jumping is controlled and there was snow outside the walls. It seemed clear to me that they weren't gonna die. Certainly they could have been more injured… But I guess that's all relative… I liked the scenes

I don't think she's the teller… But I wonder where she's been and what she's seen (not in the flames) through her life… and I'm certain it will come up.

Ya, I get that… they also don't have to casually joke around undermining their Khal in front of the strange witch lady… It seemed out of place… I'm sure they have a sense of humor… time and place though.

Actually no… Podrick was saved by Reek. Which ALSO was fan service. That's not always bad… Brienne was going to save Sansa… Sansa was going to get away… Some Bolton men were going to die… The fan service was that it happened in Ep. 1. And frankly considering the arc for Sansa… It was about freaking time. IMHO.

Right… It would have been far more logical if he had been betrayed by his personal guards who had been sent with him to KL. The snakes clearly stayed behind… then jump on some sea-dos… or maybe caught a ride with Gendry who must be a master rower by now and BAM… here they are to kill their cousin. Wack! Though the…

The Dothraki thing was weird… I thought it was actually funny (the playful joking in and of itself) but very out of place… like it was a different show for 45 seconds.
