I loved the Stannis and Shireen scene too and Lancel was very entertaining. But overall it was the dumbest episode of the entire series. 3/10 Littlefinger is turned into a moron who doesn't bother to research who he's marrying Sansa to. "Outmaneuvre them" is dumber than the previous dumbest line of the series "where are mah draaaaaagons!" LF's plan makes no sense. He's trying to curry favor with the Boltons who are about to be deposed. If he wanted Sansa to be Wardeness of the North he could have just waited a couple weeks then sent her as soon as Stannis took Winterfell without the risk of her dying. Yes Sansa "outmaneuver" Ramsay Bolton while he's literally fucking you. Anybody else get a strong Adventures of Sinbad vibe from the Dorne storyline? Good thing there were only just enough scouts for our intrepid heroes to kill. They also wasted a perfect opportunity to make Iian Glenn look hilariously disheveled and his plan is dumb. Sorry I betrayed you here's a dwarf so we're clearly even now. Tyrion should have really had to talk him into it, he could have brought up how he's read everything about dragons and she really needs him. And then there's the climax! It's like the showrunners have a rule that all big battle sequences must feature pants-on-head retarded tactics. So the Sons of the Harpy decide to use small knives to attack unsullied in a narrow corridor where spears should be most effective, but it works because the unsullied travel in tiny little groups of 2 to 5. And it's all overlayed with tacky and generic music, not every show can have Wardruna, but it's been 5 seasons reusing an old track and making it off key doesn't make for great battle music. I'm going to go read that Barristan preview chapter again. :bang:
