HYPE TIME?

So I have a feeling that a lot of this season is gonna be pure war. Probably the next one, too. Likely why its less episodes as its gonna get expensive as shit.

Im looking forward to it, in the past they skipped out on some fights due to budget concerns, i hope we see a good chunk of large scale fighting this season.

Ouch!!! Yara is a Good guy and the Sands are evil.

Prince jumped up and down "Dornish don't murder children!"
Sands "honour" his memory by murdering children.

Davos and Sam and Brienne are the only moral characters left alive, everyone else is politically pragmatic.

I don't mind the Sands being evil, I mind them - and virtually everything related to Dorne after Oberyn - being a lame, awful, craptastic clusterfuck.

The Dornish plotline was so bad that I've started to like Spain, as a country, less because of it, simply because I associate it with Dorne now. :p

I sincerely hope D&D took all the massive backlash against the Dornish debacle to heart and relegated the crazy Sand chick and her annoying "bad pussy" brats as far into the background as possible.
No convoluted plotlines trying to make the audience like them or consider them "cool" or whatever. That ship has sailed as decisively as that of Jaime "I'm sailing back aaaall the way to King's Landing to send a letter about Myrcella's death to Doran Martell, despite the fact that we are still off the shore of Dorne and I could literally see her murderers standing right there at the pier if I just stuck my moronic head out of the window" Lannister.

I was meh about the dorne plot so far in the books, but it was miles better than the dorne plot in the show, miles and miles better.

Also complete waste of Alexander Siddiq

What we've seen from TV!Euron so far was as mediocre and forgettable as everything else from the TV!Ironborn.

Now Book!Euron, on the other hand, if portrayed by a proper actor...(a shame that he isn't played by Mads Mikkelsen).

Why George doesn't update on release date of winds of winter.

I still don't think we will ever see the book. I simply don't think writing it interests him anymore.

Look forward to that statement of yours when both of the next books come out.

Still lovely how things were going to go "faster" yet we're headed to this one taking longer than the last one before long.

I will be very pleased, I really enjoyed the books except for the last one, and I completed a reread before season 6. I just don't think he is interested, he knows how it is going to end and it is just a slog for him to get there. It just seems other stuff interests him more.

Remember a couple years ago he said he was cancelling everything to finish the book, and then a great "plot twist", .... we know how both of those items worked out..... sigh.

There was the scene of Bronn knowing that Dornish use poison and antidotes and they don't sail back? WTF???
