The Iron Islands could have been so much better as well. Agreed.
Not enough shade of the evening and tortured warlocks, for sure.

Dorne sucks all around.
I don't really like the Greyjoys in the books, either. Aeron and Victarion aren't favorites of mine. Euron feels rushed, but I feel like some of his backstory will be filled in later.

The Greyjoy WoW chapter that's been out there is fucking intense and leads to some dark places. The show has completely neutered Euron.

That will be the surprise for her. She knows the prophecy, but believes it's about Tyrion.
Prophecy, shmophecy.
Here are the people who should get to kill Cercei: 1) Tyrio, 2) Sansa, 3) Arya, 4) Ellaria, 5) Dany
Then, fine, okay let Jaime do it.
Tyrion is a bit too obvious. That wouldn't be satisfying. And Ellaria is just as horrible as she is!
You're telling me that you would get satisfaction as a viewer watching Tyrion take out Cersei? That would be boring for you?
no, youre right. id cheer for sure. i still think sansa or jamie are much more interesting choices though.
i have arya killing the mountain

I think Dorne is highly entertaining in the books, and they also seem to have a large role going forward. So far from Winds of Winter the only character to have two POV chapters released is Arianne.

Yeah I'm a big fan of Dorne in the books, and they have a very big role to play going forward.

Arianne is the crown princess and future ruler of Dorne, and the main Dorne character in the books. She was cut from the tv series.

how the white walkers populated themselves at first? i know based on what we saw last year the children of the forest (or whatever they're called) made the first one. but what about after that? are there females? do they have the sex?
also, what happened to the white walkers the last time they came about (I remember reading that they were basically frozen in ice or something) and how they came back? also, how many of them are there (by the show's count, they're down about 2-3 after being killed by sam and jon snow)? if crastor was giving them his boys, do they grow up just like humans (meaning, are there a bunch of 8 year old white walkers running around)?

... kind of criticism is frustrating on a show like Game of Thrones that has armies traveling miles in next to no time and dragons and magic and people who can live inside trees and see everything all the time.
