    It's weird how they were playing up the whole evil pedophile angle with Meryn Trant when in Westeros, ladies are encouraged to get married to whatever old man suits their agenda and start making children pretty much as soon as they get their period.

    In regard to Stannis, I'm probably inclined to agree. Maybe 'good' was too broad a term for me to use. But Stannis the majority of the season and the end of last season has been built up to be 'nicer' anyway. You are right, though.

    that last scene really felt like '' Smurf y'all guys! im outta here!!''
    i got so excited when i heard Drogon :3

    I still cant stand it that the Unsullied are being defeated that easely.
    they are suppose to be ruthless warmachines, but when it really comes to it seem to forget all the training and get killed by random ppl :S perhaps Danny should have pushed them to keep in shape.
    im glad to see Jorah back in her favour <3 for as long as it will last

    dammit Stannis... why? ;_; she was such a sweet girl.

    p.s jinx! links us that Imgur thingy

    Oh yeah, I hated that. Let's manufacture a cheap way to have you hate him! Could've made more about him killing Syrio or beating Sansa instead of that. Still, Mace the Ace and his world class singing for no apparent reason. God damn xD Can you imagine any of the other high lords like Tywin Lannister or Ned Stark doing that? Love it.

    Yea it feels like that they're trying to take away any morale ambiguity from Arya wanting to kill Meryn as though the audience doesn't have enough reasons to side with Arya. Before this you could at least argue he was following orders.

    Yeah, it's why I've never really liked Arya's storyline, especially in the show. It's just a really damaged kid enacting one long revenge fantasy with little thought to either morality or consequences. There looked like a little bit of development when she took the Hound off her list but it never really went anywhere. Meryn Trant is evil therefore he must die! Go Arya! Mehhh.

    Ok, well. Melissandre is an actual witch, she smurfing smiled as shireen burned.

    It would be really amazing if this sacrifice didn't actually make things go better. It would be amusing to see how stannis reacted to that.

    I was going to say something along those lines. This is when, when it's all said and done, the sacrifice ends up having no effect and Stannis' wife is just like, "Eh, actually you are not the father..." DUN DUN DUN!

    For all those troutting on the unsullied.

    They are soldiers meant to fight side to side, shield to shield. They get slaughtered when they have no idea where their enemies are, but not the moment they get them in an organized circle they hold of like, what? 10, 20 times their numbers? without taking a casualty! so I thought it was a perfectly fine representation.

    It probably will. In the books its pretty established she has power when dealing with Kings Blood.

    In other news; Now that we don't have actual scenery shots, I feel like the Dorne plot line is being much more well acted. It's not as horribad. I believe I read the scenery shots were so bad because they had a shot time constraint on the location so they weren't able to film over and over to perfect things. Now that they are inside places, they don't have to actually be somewhere for that, it's going much more smoothly.

    Besides, a spearman with 15-20 years of training and is a hardened killer still doesn't die to random pampered rich kids regardless of formation

    Yeah, I don't buy the no close quarters. These guys are trained from young boys in the art of combat. They know close quarters trout.

    The point wasn't they can't fight close quarters its that it was chaos.

    "battle tactics are based on the legions of the old Ghiscari Empire"

    There was no battle, tactic, or legion going on. It was "Hey man these games are pretty brutal, whats going on down there? Did he just throw a spear into the stan- GLALALARLALGAKDFKASJKLGJALKMFKLSAMFSA" (his throat was cutoff mid sentence).

    Soldiers who can't fight amidst chaos don't belong in a legion.
