6x01 POST-Episode Discussion (airs 24th April)

That moment also annoyed me. Why the fuck did they not have guards?

I still think Daario is the harpy.

My take on it was that they initially moved Jon into Davos' room because they didn't just want to leave it lying around.  Disrespectful.  Then their thoughts turned to what happens next between themselves and Jon's killers.  It didn't seem that they were protecting Jon's body, so much as stuck in the room with jon's body while figuring out what to do next.  The scenes around Jon's body were similar to scenes around Renly's body or Tywin's body.  The people who liked Jon want to see his body treated with respect, and they're unhappy that he's dead, but their plans revolved around the living.

Other thoughts:  
i thought the burning of the Mereenese fleet was interesting.  What the show giveth, the show taketh away. Does that imply that at one point the show was going to skip Euron, but then he was written back in?

I was surprised that Brienne and Sansa reunited.  Brienne almost never gets anything that she wants.  And Theon seemed to have a little swagger back after the sword fight.  Those 4 seem so hopeful, I'm scared.

i liked that the show kept up the bit of Dany not understanding the Dothraki half as well as she thinks she does.  She played her cards well refusing to talk until she was in front of the Khal.  And it wasn't insane that she thought the Dothraki would know about the dragons - she is famous and the dragons are a huge deal.  Also, surely the Dothraki have come across charred ram skeletons.  But Dany had forgotten about the khaleesi retirement plan.

And Jorah will fucking destroy him.

So as a book reader I don't remember anything about Mel's age, tho it all makes sense.
I mean we are off-book in that part of the story now, but can't remember if GRRM set it up?
It makes (more) sense that Mel would know the bigger game of a war with the Others.

Yeah. Weren't there only 50 left? Subtract no telling how many since then ... Edd going to have to retreat.

Guys, just a suggestion: maybe we should move the non-spoilery episode discussion to the other thread, so that the few of us who are trying to avoid spoilers can partake in the discussion as well. A lot of the posts here don't contain spoilers for the upcoming episodes and it's kinda disappointing to see that the other thread is not moving along at all.

I can't understand how Mel can be 200+ years old, but still thinks Thoros shouldn't be able to resurrect people.
