Really curious what will happen in the wall. edited: okay, i watched that scene again and yes he was on the boat the most plausible is they followed the boat, and sneaked in to it , Not a big deal for me tho. didnt the young prince love the girl hardcore so he went on the boat with her (maybe he didnt) then she got poisoned then the sandsnakes drove another boat to his boat and kidnapped him to bring him back to shore (presumably they knocked him out) then they locked him in his room so he didn't tell anyone/his father, then later when they killed his father they went to his room and killed him ? the sandsnakes (dorne girls) are so preppy, like low-budget teenie adventure series style (dont get me wrong, i do enjoy that, only its so far from GOT level). ive been watching Chronicles of Shannara lately and the 2 teenie girls out of that are basically the two dorne girls , being american sassy in leather the whole while i thought it was cool making sansa go through that ice cold water i think the moral of dorne is that you don't marry a crazy italian woman but everyone knew that | ||

Parts of the episode seemed to be doing stuff that could have been tacked on at the end of season 5, episode 10. For example the killings of Doran and Trystane could easily have just been shown in sequence after Myrcella died. Plot at the Wall had little progress as well, surprisingly so. Most of the Daenerys scene was unnecessary, they could have just fast-forwarded to the part where she meets the Khal. It seems pointless to linger too long on it anyway, because we already know from the trailer that she'll be saved by Drogon. Melisandre may or may not be dying of old age or something. Probably she won't. There's reason to be optimistic for the rest of the season; they just got off to a slow start here, and obviously chose to leave most of the important stuff out of the first episode. | ||

Now they give us stuff like "You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy," and the shit that was this episode. You're telling me that jamie lannister wouldn't turn around, back to dorne after myrcella drops on the floor in his cabin of a ship that's only 100 m from the shore. Doran martell clearly showed his allegiance to the throne and his despise of and disagreements with ellaria sand. Not to mention trystane is on the boat, don't you think he'd urge them to turn around? Then we're supposed to swallow that doran martell would receive this message possibly a month later (considering the distance between sunspear and king's landing) by means of a raven scroll? Why isn't Ellaria sand locked up? Why aren't the sand snakes locked up after they attempted to kidnap the princess and put trystane in danger? All they had to do was keep true to the source material when it comes to Dorne, there it does make sense and contains just as much excitement. The good and exciting thing about this episode was the wall. Also, you can't hate arya's storyline, I don't care that it moves slowly. | ||

Stannis is dead and so is Jon even tho she said she saw him fighting at Winterfell in a vision, obviously no longer true. She may be having a crisis of faith. | ||

Yeah it is obvious they showed her having a crisis of faith. She surely has very good reason for doubts. But it is doubtful she is done, and the Jon Snow resurrection option still remains. | ||

Best bit of the episode was Brienne slaying. Wall plotline also seems to be exciting, and I'm looking forward to the Lannisters/Tyrells returning to facewrecking. | ||

I thought the episode was great APART from the sand snakes. I actually liked the Mereen part of the show for once. Turns out that when you replace Melisandra and Greyworm with Tyrian and Varys that you can have a more interesting show. It kinda makes me wish that they just never had introduced those characters in the first place and just (almost) skipped Mereen S4 and speeded up Tyrions arrival at Mereen to early S5. | ||

Wait, you think Jamie should have turned back to Dorne after Myrcella dies? Yes that's the smart plan, he doesn't know how far the plan goes. Maybe Duran was behind it and would have killed him if he came back? Him not going back was a smart idea as he could only guess how far that went. Also Doran was giving the sand snakes and Ellaria a second chance. Of course they back stabbed him, but that's why they are free. Don't get me wrong, I think the Dorne scenes are meh, but they were just as bad in the books as well. Also sounds like the only thing you disliked was the Dorne scene so the episode couldn't have been that bad then! | ||

What annoyed me the most about today episode is that they didn't resolve the Jon Snow cliffhanger. Will he be ressurected or not? Can we get some closure here, or will he be a corpse for the entire season 6, and maybe they will ressurect him in season 7 when hopefully Winds of Winter have come out. I like the way they are about to put Davos, Melisandre, the lojal nigh watchers and the free folk together to either go against Thorne or the Boltons. But I was hoping they would ressurect him at the end of episode 1, or burn him to get closure (D&D's and GRRM's love for shockvalue points more to him getting burned though, as everyone expect him to be ressurected). What annoyed me almost as much was the way they killed Hotah. He is supposed to be an elite warrior, almost equal to pre-goldhand Jamie Lannister. He is Prince Doran's most trusted man, and he stands there like an idiot in the prescence of known traitors and get stabbed in the back. That was just so bad. But the Dorne storyline in the show have been very bad, so not surprised here. Only good thing about how they started in Dorne in season 6 is that Dorne now is completely uninteresting. They took out anyone worth rooting for in Dorne. Lannisters vs Dorne, who wins, who cares. We don't get any clues on what have happend on the Cersei vs High Sparrow feud. How long have it been since she did the walk of shame? Will there be a trial? Have she lost power while in captivity? I know they have to try to do a little bit of everyones story in episode 1. But nothing at all about it is just MEH. What I did like was how they resolved the Sansa cliffhanger. No doubt her struggles will continue but Brienne comming to her rescue and now protecting her was the highlight of the episode for me. The little we saw of Arya was also good/ok. The House of Black and White haven't given up on her, good. Hopefully we will see her learn all she can from them this season, go dig up Needle, say hasta luego to them and get back to Westeros being a bad ass (or badder ass, she have allways been a bad ass). At what point will they introduce/reintroduce some of the other storylines? Bran and the children of the forrest, Samwell, the Greyjoys? And the nexst question is if there is enough room for it. There are so many storylines now. And if they every episode are going to focus abit on all the storylines it will be moving so slow, or they will have to take shortcuts. This is the same problem in the books, without any spoilers I am currently reading A Dance With Dragons and just completed A Feast for Crows and I can see why GRRM is using half a decade per book now, compared to 4 years in between Game of Thrones and A Storm of Swords. I feel like both the books and the show is covering to much and could easily drop some of the storylines. | ||
