@envie , I completely agree that King's Landing has been given too much screentime. I mean look at the ranking so far: 1. King's Landing - 57:40
2. The Wall - 56:23 3. The North - 39:07 4. Bran and Flashbacks - 34:32 5. Dothraki Sea - 34:22 6. Meereen - 29:43 7. Braavos - 29:17 8. The Riverlands - 21:53 9. Ironborn - 21:30 10. The Reach - 17:45 11. The Vale - 3:37 12. Dorne - 3:24 Shaving even 10-15 minutes of that King's Landing time off-

I think so, but the Vale should remain separate. It's related, but not a direct continuation. Here's the New Ranking: 1. Jon and Sansa - 1:19:16 2. King's Landing - 57:40 3. Bran and Flashbacks - 34:32 4. Dothraki Sea - 34:22 5. Meereen - 29:43 6. Braavos - 29:17 7. The Riverlands - 21:53 8. Ironborn - 21:30 9. The Reach - 17:45 10. The Boltons - 16:14 11. The Vale - 3:37 12. Dorne - 3:24 For the Riverlands too it's Jaime and Sandor's scenes, but not sure if I should separate that. I don't have an issue with pacing this season for any story other than King's Landing. (Okay, peeved Roose got offed so quickly but I was growing tired of Ramsay so that was a wash) KL could've lost a few minutes given to Bran and Jon and Sansa, even if it's just for them to talk about their family members. Or even a scene of Osha and Rickon in a cell at Winterfell before she died. @envie A few pages back you brought up a good point about how they write Sansa with Littlefinger, it's terrible. That's why I hope so much that she kills him. It's been terrible ever since he kissed her in the Vale. Sophie didn't play that shocked enough, and a good amount of people thought she actually leaned in to it. (although it's because she's taller than him, LF should've gotten the apple crate treatment) So no, I don't want LF tainting Sansa anymore. Let her be free of him.

@envie , I'm too lazy to quote and remove most of that huge wall of text, so I'll just tag you. I don't really mind Roose being toned down in the show, I actually like the show version bit more than the Leech Lord of the books. Euron though, they didn't do the character any favours by doing so... It's not like Pilou couldn't put more Robert Newton into it, seems more how it's written, could be that director didn't catch the drift. It's happened before with Dany in season 2, like they were busy with something else. (Got to say I didn't think Pilou was bad at all just need some eye patch juice.)

Are people seriously still butthurt over the damn eye patch...
And with KL given more screen time, it wouldn't surprise me considering we may won't get much of it in the next season as the city may get burned...

Yeah, the Sansa/Littlefinger thing has been one of my ongoing peeves. I'm not sure if D&D just don't understand how to write a good "Daddy syndrome" scene or what (if that's even what they were going for with it). Instead of it coming across as weird (ie. the Daddy reference) it came across as creepy. Weird and creepy can be distinctly different but one is good while the other is just gross. Maybe it's Aidan Gillen's interpretation of Littlefinger, I don't know. He does really well in King's Landing scenes when paired with adults, but every scene he's ever with Sansa has just felt creepy. Maybe I'm over-interpreting it. They DID have him kiss her so perhaps Aidan is just creeped out by that or both of them are and so the chemistry is awkward for the actors.

KL is a slow-burn this year, but IMHO it has been nothing short of fantastic. The dialogue is very rich. Every High Sparrow speech has been slightly different, depending on the person he was talking to. Now it only needs to have a great climax.

Rose isn't (or so I assume) talking about the eyepatch, he is talking about the Aeron chapter from Winds of Wknter which GRRM recently read edit: never,ind, read Boojam's post now. Sorry, I always just skim past those

In fact, the show doesn't expand the custom with the Ironborn custom of nicknaming (Euron "Crow's Eye", Aeron "Damphair", etc), so there's no point. Plus given Euron's huge villain sueness (sorry Roose, i have to admit it) that was revealed in Aeron's chapter, i don't anything more to make Euron so damn catoonish.

I just thought of something brilliant. If Yara and Theon successfully team up with Dany, @rooseisazorhai might have to start rooting for her.

Yara is badass maybe Dany will be more so with her by her side because I do not find being magical and fireproof to equal badass. I find being interesting while one is Iron born impressive, not this

I didn't think you were a fan, but Theon is your boy.
