No, Varys went to Dorne to gain Dorne's ships to help transport Dany's huge army. He sailed back to Meereen with the Dornish and Reach ships, and then they all went back to Westeros.

No, not at all. Jon had all of three noble followers last year: Lyanna and two unseen characters. Everybody else are people who told him to piss off.

Ellaria murdered Myrcella. That's not a secret, particularly seeing as she followed this up by staging a coup in Dorne.

I dunno, the lords of the North that are still around pride themselves on loyalty to the Starks.

Jaime's a great knight, but he's still just one guy. He can be arrested easily, with overwhelming force.

No, he stole the Crown's money to manufacture a debt crisis. That's why he has so much cash later in the series.

Or…she could have stayed where she was, safe amongst allies in the Vale, and worked on a plan that didn't involve waltzing into her family's murderers' stronghold without any protection whatsoever.

Which doesn't make any sense, seeing as he signed on to help Daenerys conquer Westeros, then acts shocked when he learns she intends to…conquer Westeros.

TV Sansa is pretty much the opposite of maternal.

It was mainly Littlefinger that bankrupted the Crown.

Robin doesn't listen to Sansa on the show. They had all of one scene together, which ended with her backhanding him across the face.

Why would an insane idiot be easier to manipulate? Those tend to be rogue elements. If Varys wanted to manipulate Robert, he could just spill the beans on Cersei's incest.

Consistently a weiner, despite the lack of one.

He conveniently sidesteps Dany asking why he thought putting Viserys on the throne in place of Robert via Dothraki invasion was a good idea.

Well, that was decidedly a mixed bag.

Good Samaritan laws are about relief from legal liability of people who try to rescue others, not a requirement that people rescue others.

2017 has ended up being the year of Dunkirk, between Their Finest (about the making of a propaganda film about Dunkirk), this film, and Joe Wright's upcoming Darkest Hour (about Winston Churchill's political leadership around the time of the Battle of France, including the Dunkirk evacuation).

That wasn't so much his generals, that was the debate amongst the Allied political leadership over grand strategy. Churchill and the British general staff thought the American idea of immediately invading France was a disaster waiting to happen, particularly with the US Army having no combat experience, so he…
