."his death would not make sense for Jaime—his story is long, and complex, and the idea of it coming down to such a split-second decision betrays the level of buildup attached to his arc over the course of the series. "

Olenna.

Well, I mean, there are the Redwynes, where Olenna from, Hightower, whose seat is Oldtown…

Give in to the snobbery. Give in!

Because it's convenient for the showrunners. Why would they do anything that makes sense in the show?

Targaryens sometimes practice bigamy, if not polygamy. Aegon the Conqueror, the first King of the Seven Kingdoms, had two sister wives. Many Targaryens did, but abandoned the practice later to better assimilate into Westerosiu culture and have the support of the local religious community.

I think there's something to be said for pacing. After all, it's about the journey, not the destination?

Which is why it makes no sense

That's asking far too much logic from the show.

I do think there needs to be some structure to make what's on screen meaningful. For example, we have two fleets of Danaerys, but only one is attacked by Euron? What, did the second fleet that went to Casterly rock go northward?
