Yeah I had no problem with that Dorne massacre tbh. Kinda sucks to see Doran go I guess but they weren't really following his storyline anyway

That was the most confusing part for me. I kinda just figured they took a separate boat after him though and boarded the other boat at King's Landing but I think the bigger question is why Trystane would STILL be on that boat after Jaime got off of it hours ago. Unless this was simultaneous with Jaime/Myrcella getting off

People pointed out that Trystane goes with Jaime and co onto the boat to go to Kings Landing at the end of S5 while the sand snakes stay behind. But suddenly tonight the two sand snakes were on the boat with Trystane (:


Spoiler+


I'm starting to think Dorne was really just a giant joke by D&D. They can't think fans take this seriously, do they? It's a bizarre phenomenon.

cool reddit quotes

honestly outside of some logical inconsistencies I thought it was a pretty solid stage-setting episode. Dorne is shit but we already knew that last season. I think all the other storylines look pretty intriguing

So. Reddit is cool.

it is but I don't see the point of just copy/pasting posts from there (:

Yeah. Dorne aside it wasn't bad at all.

I didn't like the last minute save from Brienne. It felt too clicheish for GoT. What did you think of the scene?

that would be one of the other logical inconsistencies to me, her happening upon Stannis AND Sansa is kinda ridic. Brienne's show storyline is 100% reversed from the book really. In the books she has the worst luck finding anybody, while on the show she's found Arya, Sansa (twice), and Stannis

The other big one (moreso from last season) is I still don't get why Alliser would let Jon through the gate at all if they were just gonna betray him, that's still not really explained. Now they have thousands of angry wildlings within their walls after killing their only real ally in the Night's Watch

J-bear/Daario finding the ring surprisingly made sense. I didn't think of the horse tracks leaving a circle like that

This p. much sums up my thoughts better than I can:

http://time.com/4306039/review-game-of-thrones-season-premiere/

I was most engaged by the Davos storyline and wanted to see how that got resolved but...nothing. My biggest complaint is that almost each scene brought us exactly where we knew the storylines would be slightly nudged based on the trailer. But the Castle Black stuff was the worst of it. They showed that clip that we posted a few days ago from episode TWO! And that clip was exciting and I was waiting for it to happen but it didn't. I don't know WHY they would show a clip that far in the future because now we just spent the premiere still waiting to get to that point which made things kinda lackluster. Seems like a weird move to me

As goofy as The Walking Dead gets I feel like they get premieres dead on compared to game of thrones. TWD makes their premieres EVENTS which they should be after all the hyping the show's do, where as GoT always feels a bit recapy and underwhelming after the long wait. All GoT premieres have been like this but it's a shame to have to get used to the premiere quality being low

lol maybe it's just because I stayed away from most of the clips/trailers beforehand, but the Castle Black scenes were some of my favorites BECAUSE they took everything so slow. I'd prefer stuff like that 100x over the rushed storytelling that's been happening since S5

Like I would've been perfectly happy with them stretching out Theon/Sansa's escape over multiple episodes too instead of immediately resolving it. It'd give us a chance to actually dwell on the characters' new circumstances
