But honestly, why bring Rickon in when it's just a rehash of Jeyne/Sansa?

I thought he meant the dragons hatching etc was miraculous. She survived being torched by dragon with just her hair being burnt in the Pits, and some other heat related stuff, right?

I know, it's like, why can't we see her grow and learn how to rule/politicking…

It felt like he was Khal Drogo-lite, which made sense why it happened, though. In a weirdly funny way.

Well, see, when they have no problem lingering on the bloated corpse of a child versus cutting from Stannis' beheading because "it felt gratuitious"…you never know with these guys.

Then cut, don't conflate. We don't need Skagos, or Mormont, then. We don't need pies.

Don't forget, it's "The Salt Throne" I n the show.

But the thing is the stuff that makes common sense - like the fact the show glosses over the fact that now Loras is Heir to High garden, essentially ending the Tyrell line. Or at least that direct line. That's a figurative murder of another Great House, in addition to the literal murder of the Martells. Its incoherent…

Which is why they hired three actresses with speaking roles rather than just the one.

Yknow, as much as I am one of those book purists, it's more that the show is botching the tone and the themes, rather than actual scenes and storylines.

Yeah, but that was arguably accomplished by him being the Hand.

It just makes last season even worse, because what was accomplished that isn't being repeated here?

So basically, the whole arc of Danaerys learning to rule in Meereen - diplomacy, the hard choices, has been given to Tyrion? I mean, treating with the Masters, etc? Okay, Show.

Blasphemy! (Nah, it's cool, bro.)

I saw that. Several times. Woops!

Surprised Dragon Age: Orgins' Fade level isn't mentioned. So many people hated it.

Nope. I think the show's done a monumentally shitty job the further they veer from the source material. You saw Season Five, right? And the three episodes of Season Six so far?

I think Martin's throwing shade at the show, given he released a Dornish chapter so shortly after they completely butchered Dorne.

Again, how? I mean, the two reasons so far is 1. He's bratty, 2. He's a Targaryen, maybe.
