Yes, he *can* see through all eyes, but does he necessarily do so without compelling reason? Since there are now (maybe) millions of Strigoi if would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to just randomly canvas all of them.

Re: Dany was irritating me during the Jon scene, alot of entitled brat behaviour

She admitted as much back in season four at Joffrey's funeral when Margaery was gushing fake grief, "You can stop with that! we all know he was a monster!"

Maybe Greyworm dropped her off on his way to Casterly Rock?

Why would Sansa bother to send out ravens all over Westeros to announce Arya's return? IMO, she'll keep things in the North as quiet as possible so as not to attract Cersei's attention. Since Dany doesn't have a maester at Dragonstone (as far as we know), there won't even be a raven exchange between Jon and Sansa.

I think Dany has to with the dragons to have them do what she wants.

Infectious writers' block? Someone contact the CDC!

Martin writing "The Winds of Winter" has become like Penelope weaving Laeretes' shroud in the Odyssey— she unraveled her work every night and started over. I suspect Martin deletes his writing every night too.

It's something of a myth that the age of maturity was a lot lower in the Middle Ages. In England teenage kings needed a regent (or regency council) until they were 18— Henry VIII became king when he was 17 and his grandmother ruled for him for two months until his 18th birthday. French kings, I think, could rule at…

Historically women rulers who married could keep effective power if they were so minded (and had some support to do so). Isabella of Castile didn't meekly retire to the royal kitchens and nursery when she married Ferdinand of Aragon— she actively ruled her kingdom and even led armies. And in England Mary Tudor…

Past armies didn't deal with dragons. That was the whole point. The Targaryens conquered Westeros and held it as long as they had dragons. In modern terms, they were the only nuclear power— and they weren't shy about using their nukes.

Sansa has darkened more than a little lately, but I don't see her committing fraticide. I can see her sending back a raven to the Wall saying "Keep him there— we don't want him",and not telling anyone.

To be fair, significant amount of time has passed since Euron took over the Isles. Yara and Theon traveled all the way to Merreen to link up with Dany, Varys traveled back to Doirne then (apparently) rejoined Dany just as she was setting sail, and Dany and here party has had time to sail back to Westeros.
My nagging…

Euron said he would bring Cersei a gift. Ellaria and her daughter is the gift, for Cersei to do with as she pleases. Yara will be Euron's to do with as he pleases.

You can say the same about Henry Tudor in English history. He was distantly related to the royal line through his mother, and he shored up his claim by marrying the legitimate Yorkist heiress. But what really mattered was that he had beat and killed Richard III in battle.

A real world model for Cersei is Catherine the Great, who was not even Russian, just a foreign-born wife of the ruling tsar. The Tsar however was unpopular and incapable and Catherine had made herself popular; it was short step to dethroning (and killing) the tsar and putting Catherine on the throne as sole ruler.…

I didn't find show Stannis or show Littlefinger badly done. But I am more tolerant of deviations from the book— if they are well done. Dorne of course was not well done, no argument there.

The model for Cersei here might be Catherine the Great, who wasn't even Russian by birth and whose only claim to the tsar's throne was that she was married to the ruling tsar. However Russia had no set-in-stone law on inheritance for the throne at that point, and in the old Byzantine-Slavic tradition wives could…

Goth fashions must have just hit Westeros in a big way.

He seems to have a thing for showing up in costume dramas. He had a role as a sadistic henchman to a nasty cleric in a forgettable medieval drama set in 14th century Wales a couple years ago (the show was so bad I've forgotten its name— it was speedily cancelled after a brief run). Maybe he's envious of Lady Gaga's…
