True. . . but morals and norms aside, who in that castle would be brave enough to call Ramsay Bolton out on anything, given what he's done?

Well. . if the Khals died trying to beat their way through wooden doors that were in fact the only solid part of the entire structure, it would be a fittingly moronic way for them to go, based on their dialogue.

Maybe she draws strength and life from fire itself because ~magic~.

The roof of that chamber was mostly thatched. I could be remembering this wrong, but I think Dothraki culture has a bias against truly permanent structures even in Vaes Dothrak,

Good point. Also, Dany managed to prove the "Brothraki" Khal (whose name I've already forgotten) wrong. It turns out that murders can be carried out without any bloodshed.

The return of magic to the world after generations of absence is a recurring theme in the books. Dany and her dragons are tightly linked to that theme, so her having powers that Viserys and Aeron only had (at most) faint echoes of isn't really that surprising.

That was just in the books.

I'm not worked up about Dany being fireproof, but I do find it awfully convenient that the Khals would choose to illuminate their yearly meeting with Napalm. Also, since when do the Dothraki do anything of significance indoors?

Good point - although it wouldn't be utterly shocking if Tommen somehow manages to walk between the raindrops, I, Claudius style, for at least a few episodes longer.

The Unsullied are the greatest soldiers in the world, but Mereen doesn't have an endless supply of them.

If Sansa entered peace talks with Ramsay Bolton, she'd know that she has only 2,000 soldiers to Ramsay's 5,000. Under the circumstances, she'd have to make the best deal that she could. There's no point in pledging bloody vengeance and refusing to negotiate when you lack the resources to back it up.

Probably not. . . but if Dany ever comes back, Tyrion will be the first person to remind her that the advantage of having underlings act on her behalf is that their actions can be disavowed if it suits her convenience.

His demands were aggressive in comparison to his actual capabilities. He had no actual forces to deploy against Astapor or Yunkai, and even defending Mereen would have been a stretch.

The Tyrells have pretty much thrown in their lot with the Lannisters, which makes them the enemies of Dorne. The Sand Snakes have made it clear that they intend to wage war against the Lannisters, and the Tyrells are blocking their path.

I think Missandei and Grey Worm (and this column) were way too hard on Tyrion. He's not compromising with the slavers and their armies- he's bluffing them. Tyrion knows how weak and divided Mereen really is.

At this point, Littlefinger's "plan" makes about as much sense as the Cylons "plan" in Battlestar Galactica.

Interesting thought. . . that would certainly be one way for Jon to stop the White Walkers (and for all we know that's why the current Night's King took the job, before it corrupted him).

Jaime looks up sharply. We hear Myrcella's daughter's rasping, labored breath. She's not dying, but Jaime's in no mood for jokes.

I should make a hobby of repairing bad scenes from GoT. The scene with Trystane could have been handled much better as well:

In the books, yes. . . I can't remember if that happened in the show, but the question is why she needs to go to Asshai.
