On the other hand, they are now allocating time to flashbacks (new one in the promo as well). I sure hope thatīs leading somewhere important for it to be worth the screen time when there is already so little time for the individual stories.

I do like the format and the "snapshot" nature of the show that allows you/demands of you to connect the dots yourself, but i kinda feel itīs now stretched to the very limit.

I also hope we donīt get treated to captured-and-tortured-Jamie again. Been there, done that.

That'd actually be really interesting.

you mean the invisible guerilla-style revolt by ? Not sure how they go from here story wise (and the little news flash about the other cities going back to slavery makes it even more weird). I mean, whatīs next for Daenerys ? Do this whole song and dance again ? Or take over the Dothraki after all and lead them to Westeros (against the screams of Varys, who would probably get hysterical at that idea) ? With what ships ?
