It makes no sense to split ToJ. Is there any logical reason? I guess for whatever reason the Hodor one was split up. To create and sustain interest. To tease. And maybe to set up Bran looking into the past outside of BR's supervision because he's as frustrated as we are. So they are not better than TWD?

I think that is likely that we are going to see the TOJ in two episodes and what Bran learns in episode 5 is what happened with Ned and Lyanna.... that will explain why Bender was there... Or it will be about Hodor in E5 because we know that actor will appear in E5.

It is fake. Rickon is played by the same actor. Fake Rickon is stupid theory by fans who don't want his death

But negative backlash had nothing to do with Doran. So if they really reacted to that they would have killed SS. Not him. I'm trying to undrstand why they chose Ellaria instead of Doran and their love for Indira Varma is the only reason I can think of.

They should have cut SS. There is absolutely no way to make those characters good. Because a team of girl warriors is so cheesy trope. You can't do anything with that.
It is just something that doesn't belong to this story. In the books or the show.
In the world where you have Cersei, Yara, Sansa, Brienne,... SS are something that just doesn't belong here. The whole idea is wrong. It can't be fixed.

I don't think focusing on Ellaria was the mistake of the Dornish story. ........ You are missing my point. You are discussing things that happened in S5 and I'm talking about Dorne in S6. If what happened in E1 was a backpedal that doesn't mean that Doran needed to be the one who gets killed. They could have decided to go a different route and kill Ellaria and SS and have Doran made an alliance with Dany. But if Ellaria makes that alliance in the show, the only reason why they chose to do that is because they love Indira Varma. I can't see absolutely no other reason to give Doran's plot to Ellaria. And that's why I said that their love for Indira Varma destroyed Dornish plot. I wasn't talking about S5, because after S5 there was so much potential for Dorne in S6. But they chose Ellaria instead of Doran.

Kevan needs to show up in this episode if they want anyone to care about his death.

I still think their love for Indira Varma destroyed this plot. They gutted the entire story. Varma was also one of the few bright spots of Dorne in her interactions with Siddig. Though I will agree that focusing on her story and getting revenge on Myrcella made no sense. I mean, they could steal her necklace, but not just sneak into her room and kill her? I think that Indira was good in her scenes, but they made her part of starring cast for no reason at all. They are just forcing this minor character to become so important because they like the actress. I think it made perfect sense for Ellaria to take that "face of revenge" role in the show, but it doesn't make sense for her to be the one who will make an alliance with Dany. And when I say it makes no sense, I don't think in the story, because I find no problem with the logic of Doran's death at all. My problem is why D&D want Ellaria to be the face of Dorne instead of Doran? What is their reason outside of the story? And only logical explanation is that they like Indira Varma so much that they are willing to change that storyline so drastically. Someone said that it was an obvious "oh shit, time to backpedal!" moment. But they didn't decide to kill Ellaria and SS. Maybe it was "oh shit, time to backpedal!" moment , and maybe not. In S5 Indira Varma was part of the starring cast and not Alexander Siddig. So from the beginning they made her character more important than Doran. They chose to kill Doran instead of Ellaria because they like Indira Varma and they are changing the storyline to make her character more important becase there is no reason for her to take Doran's role, because Doran is in the show as well. It is completely different with Yara and Victarion or Jorah and Jon C. That's my opinion.

I agree. But the point is I like this Walter White Cersei.

But I don't have problem with Cersei beeing an antihero instead of evil queen.

What do you think, people? They will show the whole thing (including "Promise me, Ned" and "R+L=J") next Sunday or this will be a two part flashback? The whole thing.
