That character is definitely on the list of, "Dies in the show and in the books, but perhaps not killed by the same person."

Also, here's an updated list of upcoming episode titles:

Spoiler: show

SE06EP02 - Home
SE06EP03 - Oathbreaker
SE06EP04 - Book of the Stranger
SE06EP05 - The Door

So far we have...

Doesn't tell you much, but what is that when translated to Dothraki?

(Not counting "T" for "The")

Given now that they're beyond the books, how much is Martin consulting on the scripts to keep things in line with what he envisioned? I've seen in multiple places that he's given the show runners guideposts to head towards, but I wonder how closely, if at all, he'll be involved in future seasons?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The casting for Khal Moro leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Speaking of which, how the hell did he not know who Khal Drogo's wife was, that she hatched dragons, etc.?

Wouldn't the different tribes at least know something about one another?

No idea, but with his TV background I have all the confidence that the showrunners will roll out the remained of the series staying very true to his original intentions.

Yeah, because that's what they're doing in Dorne.

i think there are enough different dothraki hordes that it's at least plausible he wouldn't know. i want to say i've read there are 40-60 or something.

Touche.

GRRM is around to steer the overall story more broadly so it comes to the conclusion he's always envisioned, but otherwise, the showrunners have quite a bit of freedom as to how they get there.

yep

from what i know of the dorne storyline, they made the right choice omitting most of it. not that it isn't compelling, but that it's complex and drawn out, and would just complicate a tv show. it also doesn't seem to have much influence on the end game.
