No, "left" and "right" are noticably absent from all of the q.o.t. sceans.

Couldn't find the nitpick thread, but it just struck me that Oberyn doesn't have an escort of soldiers. He's a Prince of Dorne, so he should have a retinue including armed retainers. Details like that show that the writers don't really get how power works in this world. It was like in Season 3 when the sellsword captains were allowed to get up close to Daenerys and disrespect her, which would never happen to someone in her position.

It's a shame because this is something they did so well in Season 1, with the Starks and Lannisters. The Lannister guardsmen have a great look, and the Starks do too. So where are the Dornish guardsmen? Come to think of it, do the Tyrells have guardsmen?

Just finished reading the entire thread, and rewatching the episode. I don't have anything new to really add, like others I agree that the rape was hard to watch, and I'm pissed that D&D are messing up Jamie's redemention arc.

Aside from that the only other nitpick I have is with the curious way Tywin says King Robert to Tommen, and not your father when discussing strength in his what makes a good king question to Tommen. Is this implying that Tommen even knows that Jamie is his father and not Robert? Or is it that Tywin carefully choose his words that way so as not to directly lie to the new king (in a sept no less)? I'd like to think it's the second and not the first.
