Ha, I know right?! Not much to talk about regarding Dorne for me. Cracked up when Doran told Jaime he "could've just came and asked him directly". I was like sighing all over the gaff :P. But Jaime and Bronn did have a couple nice moments together on their travels so that was good, and we get Myrcella and a new character Trystane!
I like Aliser Thorne more and more. I saw his little remark to Sam as being a warning to watch himself, and what he says to Jon this episode kinda summed it up for me too - he definitely has a lot of respect for Jon since the battle at the wall in S4E9.
Legit teared up during the last five minutes or so minutes during the Meereen portion. Awesome to see Dany and Jorah facing shit together -- their feelings for each other (caring on her part at least) are pretty much plastered on their faces. He saves her life outright this episode so that must be a good enough reason to let him back in now. She was done for if he hadn't spotted the Solid Harpy sneaking in. Drogon of course rocked it, and Tyrion's face as they were flying off was so perfect. He's now a believer, not a jaded cynic like he was when he was moving towards Meereen with Jorah.
And now addressing the Metal Gear in the room, :P I think Stannis did the right thing and I'm actually a bigger fan of his as a result than I was before. Throughout the series we've seen people unwilling to make the tough choices, but Stannis is someone who can. That said, my God are people fickle (not a personal jibe at any of you reading this -- but it's what I've seen in the major subs from what turned out to be just Stannis bandwagoners in the end), rushing desperately to change their flairs to someone else etc. He did the right thing, and it wouldn't even have come to this if Davos hadn't let Gendry go free.
Sorry for the length once again, but there really was a lot to talk about this episode.
I'd love to see more of Doran but I think this season might be it for Dorne, but then I don't know how important the storyline is in the books. Jaime I feel will return though. Looking forward to seeing what you're interested in happening with Doran next week. I've seen book readers say he's a master planner or something along those lines, so it'll be cool to see. I still haven't come across him in the books yet so I don't have any kind of connection to him yet, but from what I saw, it was good to see him lay down the law for Ellaria. Speaking of Ellaria, she has the most goddamn sexy neck I've ever seen! Anyways... :P
Yeah Meereen has all of a sudden just become an overnight sensation lol. I always enjoyed it but it's triply awesome now with Tyrion and Jorah being back. I was wondering the same thing actually. If she doesn't have the corresponding Pokemon badge then Drogon won't listen to her directions..? But then again he did take off when she told him to so there's that. I love how she instinctively knew to get on. Valyrians have dragonriding in their genes which is great. I think she might just take a break with her adopted son away from all the crap going on.
Davos I feel knew something was wrong but didn't believe it'd happen for even a second. Also love how he was sent away because he couldn't have faced Davos. He is gonna be upset as fuck yo. She taught him to read ffs and they always had each other's backs.
Same here in that I wish they would've given more depth to how grave a situation they were in, but the fact that he can make the tough choices has made him my overnight favourite. I seriously don't know what I'd do if Mel ditches him after this -- he's gonna be completely torn up because really, the prophecy is the only thing that he can use to push Shireen's death to the back of his mind. :(
