I liked Bronn's quip when Jaime says he will improvise, by the way. :D

Now there's a character.  :lol:

Admiral Yi

The sand snake scene did not work that well.  First, the sand snakes came off as kind of ridiculous.  Second, the length of time it took for Axeman and his posse to show up--in the middle of the Dornish capitol--was just a little too convenient.

Yeah. Likewise Jaime and Bronn making their way unopposed just to where Trystane and Myrcella were located looked weird. The whole scene looked rushed and it seemed like they ran out of time to show it.

The Larch

Sansa's scene could be summed up in "Lie back and think of Winterfell". It could have been worse. It was worse in the book.

Admiral Yi

Am I vegging out?  I thought only fake Sansa went to Winterfell in the book.

Fake Arya. I am not sure what The Larch is thinking about here. But there are a few Sansa chapters Martin has released out there from the next book so maybe it is from those. I tend to not read those.

The Larch

I meant the equivalent scene with the fake Arya.

Ah. Ok I gotcha.

"Put the pen down, darling. We both know you are not writing anything." is the best line of the episode. Especially as a call back to the scene between Tywin and Olenna in season 4.  :lol:

Sadly, the Sand Snakes consistently seem to be the weakest part of the show right now, imo.

They are far from the strongest part of the books, either.  Though strong competition for that honor.

Nah...surprised you, especially, didn't pick out the best line of the episode:

Sorry, strong bitchy divas beat cock merchants in 10 cases out of 10 in any self-respecting gay man's book.

Admiral Yi

Gotta go with Jo Jo.  Especially because Diana Riggs weanied out at the end of that scene.

Norgy

I wonder what a cock merchant's storefront looks like.  :hmm:

Being gay is more about cock though. :hmm:
