It was better last week I wish they focused more on one or two people though, versus some skipping around.
But it was so good seeing Arya and traveling to Dorne that all the skipping makes up for it in my mind! I'm sure now that they've reintroduced everyone, it will be more focused for the rest of the season.

I really enjoyed tonight's episode! I thought it was really good. Since it's still the beginning of the season I actually like that they touched on all the different characters so we can see where they are.

Agreed!!! This season is going to be great!
Oh good. This was the episode in Dorne. Now I can squee a bit over how good Alexander Siddiq looks after all these years. I saw him in that episode and immediately thought of Rama
What is Daenerys doing? Maybe they had her do this so Tyrion could arrive and be like, Heyyy.... let me be the Hand of the Queen and help you deal with your shit.
Well, this episode was quite the departure from the books. I really do think we need a separate book thread. All that aside, I did enjoy the episode. I don't mind them giving us todbits of each storyline; otherwise it goes too long without progression on others. Doran Martell seems even more complacent. Cersei seems to be turning into the mad kind herself. I am excited to see Jon Snow's story continue after the change in this episode. Arya's story is bugging me, but I really hope it will actually progress next time. I had gotten to the point of pitying Sansa, but now I am back to wanting to slap her.

Yeah...what happened to the whole "let's open the fighting pits in Pentos(?)" deal?
I think we are supposed to see her crumble, though. She is stagnant in Mereen, and something has to spur her on.

I remember Doran being as complacent as he was last night in the books. It takes awhile to get him riled up. Cersei did turn into the mad king (and I can't f'n wait to see her downfall). I'm excited to see what happens with Arya, but her story change is kind of bugging me. I'm starting to like Sansa more that she's becoming self aware and in control of herself.

Maybe it's just me, but the show has introduced us to Doran in a very passive way. It feels easier to understand that he makes decisions with a purpose in the book, even if he does take forever to actually decide and rarely acts. I wish the show would convey a bit more how contemplative he is. Though I do agree, he is not a very headstrong person in either context.

I'm sure they will, but considering we saw him for <5 minutes last night... it's hard to convey all of that.
I'm thinking we could keep doing the episode thread week to week but keep just one book thread?
Thank you - I appreciate this. I'm working on the books but since I'm only on book 2, I think it will be good to have separate areas to talk about the books or the shows. Especially since per my neighbor last night was a big departure from the books.
I can't wait until I can come join you in the book thread!!! Maybe I need a vacation from work to just reed!
How does everyone feel about Dany's decision to have the former slave put to death for murdering the Son of the Harpy?
While it was the just choice, I feel it's going to create problems for her in Mereen. She was adored, but not because the slaves believed her to be just; they adored her as their liberator. I don't think they truly want a judicious ruler; they want someone on their side.

I wasn't too happy she did it. I completely understand why, but you knew it wasn't going to go over well. I think he should have been put on trial rather than just beheading him in front of everyone.

You can tell she really struggled with it. I didn't really like it but I understand why she did it.

I wasn't the biggest fan either, but I think this is what is going to set her up for later stuff.
