So who the fuck is ruling Dorne now? Ellaria I would assume. That sure was not clear. |

Really pissed that they wasted Doran like that. And all the guards were just standing around and watching their lord get murdered in front of them? So fucking weird.  Ellaria implied, or said explicitly I can't remember, that the rest of Dorne were sick of Doran sitting around, doing nothing to avenge Elia and Oberyn. So, show Doran actually is a pacifist with no plan. Ellaria to rule Dorne it seems. I guess. It's still lamesauce. |

I'm think that he probably knew she was a foreigner but didn't remember her name. When Dany says she was Khal Dorog's widow he doesn't question it. Wtf is a Dorog?  Fucking autocorrect. I saw it when B answered me but decided to just leave it. |

Brienne continues to show up right on time where she is needed (or dreaded). That is kind of lame. It made more sense this time than before, at least. I full on bawled when Brienne pledged her sword to Sansa, and Sansa forgot the line for a second but Pod helped her. My husband laughed at me. I really liked the added touch with having Pod help her with her vows. This shows that the vows Brienne and Catelyn exchanged were formal ones that all Lords (and Ladies) learn and all Knights swear as oath of fealty. That was a really well done addition and helped make it so much more moving. Agreed. And it was important that she only needed the little nudge. Sansa is a proper educated lady after all. She was just half frozen in the middle of nowhere after a big trauma on top of years of trauma. And it further developed Pod's character as being useful because of his brains and loyalty...*takes breath* It was well done. And of course, the reason I cried was because it hearkened back to Catelyn and Brienne. |

Also, did anyone else notice the ash in the show where Jon was lying????!!! Was is ash or blood? The former doesn't really make sense. It was definitely not blood. In the books, Jon's wounds smoke. Davos def looks confused at what's in the snow besides blood. |

This a really really minor quibble but it still bothers me that in the opening credits every castle/city gets its proper name, but then Sunspear/Water Gardens gets labelled as ]Dorne. Truly the smallest of the 7Ks I guess  |

Who else would it be? I would think Oberyn's oldest daughter would be next in line. Ellaria will be in control though. |

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.

Idk maybe I'm just projecting but the blood stains and rn look Davos gave them seemed suggestive of something to me lol. |

Good riddance. Edit: After the episode I was talking to my husband about it. He's a casual viewer, non-reader. And I said something like, man, they really screwed up Dorne. At least the sand snakes were a little scary tonight. They murdered people who weren't expecting it. Husband said, "The snake who's? You mean those silly girls with the accents?" |

Fucking Dorne, man. Everything in the episode was great except for that.
Loved Davos. Dany getting to pull a "fuck you, I speak your language" again is always welcome.
Ghost made me SO sad. As did Brienne's oath. I loved Pod helping Sansa too.
Brienne is how you do a BA woman, fuck the Sham Snakes. Obliterating 100 pages of Dorne in 1 minute.

So who the fuck is ruling Dorne now? Ellaria or her and the SS as a council I'd guess. |

So how did Obara and Nym get onto Trystane's ship? Was it the same ship Jaime was? If so, how did they get in when they were on the pier as the ship sailed away? Or did Trystane sail to KL on a different ship some hours after Jaime left? Was Trystane's ship even in KL already or was that the Dornish coast still? Someone help me  |
