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

I think it was the same boat, on the Blackwater. They must have snuck on after it sailed.

Guessing Jaime took Myrcella's corpse on that small boat and Tryst waited on the main ship.

I wonder where Bronn is though?

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.

+1 for "Sham Snakes" I love you. haha. 

Why'd they have to ruin an otherwise great premiere with that shit?

I wouldn't roam around Meereen alone when I could have a squad of Unsullied with me.

Good point. Fuck were they thinking

Have watched the D&D commentary, they say George told them that Mel was quite ancient. 

Dany got some pretty swood clothes on in that interview vid btw

I thought it was a pretty good premiere, picking up with biggest stuff from last year. I think Sansa and Theon was my favorite part of the episode, Sansa accepting Brienne's oath made me so happy. I was not expecting that in Dorne at all, I was assuming Ellaria was going to be killed and they were going to go with the stuff from the end of the last book but now I have no idea what they are going to do with that. I felt terrible for Cersei. Seeing her so happy and running to greet Myrcella only to be crushed by the news of her death was heartbeaking. Melisandre being old was not surprising to me at all, it's been hinted quite a bit in the books.

With Dany's ships being burned we now have a reason for them to send Yara (plus whoever else) to Essos like we are speculating based off the trailer.

Oh yeah, I knew it was going to happen but every time Dany pretends not to understand people only to turn around and spit fire at them is so wonderful haha.

The only thing I could think was "well at least he didn't feel a thing and that was merciful, now can we fucking move on because I feel like you're poking ME in the eye with your fucking spear you terrible little beast!"
