Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[Night Fury]

They're going to get thoroughly smurfed up by FrankenMoutain.

[Formalhaut]

I don't think we are meant to apply logic and reason to the Sands' actions. They appear to be driven by emotion and bloodlust and don't care for long-term consequences of their actions.

I can sort of see a pack mentality thing going on. I mean, it'll ruin them, but I can see it.

[Pheesh]

Especially when she is saying that Oberyn was murdered when no he really wasn't.

She said he was "butchered" in the scene when she kills Doran, not murdered. I think butchered is putting it lightly as well :/

Honestly, I'm not too fussed by the whole Dorne thing at this stage. They have a lot to make up for from last season as it felt like it was just an excuse to put in some boobs, coupled with terrible, terrible fight choreography (I mean, Oberyn was so insanely awesome to watch when he fought, and then that was how they followed it up with his daughters/countrymen?). But it will be interesting to see a power hungry woman who's making enemies left and right try and keep her land under control. All the while some giant, grey, gross looking mother-smurfer is literally walking along the bottom of the ocean floor towards her with instructions to pop her head like a water-balloon.

Something everyone seems to be missing from this Dorne thing is Areo Hotah was killed. He's supposed to be like the ultimate bad-ass and one of the greatest warriors in the world.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, I didn't like how simple it was for him to be murdered.

[Mr. Carnelian]

A stabbing in the back would tend to be fatal regardless of how badass you are.

[Night Fury]

She's trying to be the Cersei of Dorne, but there can be only one and that is I.. er, I mean Cersei Lannister.

But seriously, she freaking has NO IDEA of how much Cersei is going to boot off. And by boot off I mean murderous rampage through Dorne where she will reign supreme.

While I think Areo died too quickly, a blade inserted juust right could kill fatally very quickly. But still, I wanted there to be a bit of a struggle.

[escobert]

It's just too I dunno Game of Thrones-ish that one of the mightiest warriors get taken down with a knife in the back. I would have loved to see Jaime get better with his other hand and the two of them go at it at some point. Or see if Bronn could match Areo's strength with his speed and cunning.

[Del Murder]

Where were we ever told that this guy was one of the mightiest warriors? I didn't know he even had a name.

[Mr. Carnelian]

Books, probably.

[Psychotic]

Yeah, the show portrayal is different. I think there's the implication that he's a badass with how he broke up the Jaime/Bronn tag team match against the Sneks, but they certainly didn't give him any development and there wasn't really much point to adding him to the show at all.

Let it go, book people. Your boat capsized and we picked you up on the way past, we're all stuck out at sea together now.

[Bubba]

So I decided to do a workout tonight in a ridiculously cold garage and was wearing completely inappropriate underwear that were far too tight.

Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror before getting into the shower and thought I was one of the Unsullied.

My thoughts on episode 1It was good. Now tell me whether Jon is dead or not, you smurfers. I'm sticking with this show until Jon's body is burned/dismembered.
