Yes, having Ellaria kill Myrcella was an insane move for the show. Everything Dornish has been downhill since – well, I guess since Oberyn's head exploded. But that was a bad writerly move. Inconsistent with everything about those characters.

I stil say Sansa wasn't raped. He is a horrible person and he wasn't gentle but she was NOT raped.

Fucking Baelish has definitely been asking for it. Begging for it.

When you say you can't really blame magic for the stagnation of the world in GOT, I think you sort of can. The fact of magic would have been a powerful block against the world being concieved as obeying systematic natural laws that are the basis for science

He was saving that for a special occasion.

Yeah. Like Sansa has never before encountered the concept of an office that is passed from one person to the next.
