I'm running out of reasons to watch at this rate. I think the season peaked 2 episodes ago, and the cleanup just been underway since
War seems inevitable now between Dorne and the Lannisters, what with the bitchbeast sister and her three slut pals utterly defying the Prince (nice work by Alexander Siddig there BTW) and murdering Jamie's daughter right in front of him by poison. They have to also have their retard meters broken, since they did it in a fashion that they'd already tried for shits and giggles

Get there, all hot to set up seige.... and before they can take a leak, they get charged by the entire Bolton Army. Doesnt end well

About the only up point, was in Mereen, where they have to go find Daenerys Targaryen who was last seen riding one of her dragons into the northern wastelands. Damn inconvenient, dragons, they never say where the hell they going
