Exactly. Better not to include it. King's Landing S5-S6 was a huge fucking waste of time. Cersei starts out pretty much in power, does a whole bunch of really, really stupid stuff that would result in utter disempowerment for anyone else, and ends up on the Iron Throne. It's actually even more insulting than Dorne to me personally, because KL used to be the greatest setting of the show. Not that the Wildfire Assault on the Sept of Baelor wasn't exciting as fuck and super-well-directed, but yeah. RyoCaliente posted... I think the impact of Riverrun and Daario in the show is obviously less in the show, but I wouldn't call them completely irrelevant. Riverrun needed to be taken, otherwise it would be a lingering plot point where everyone could've been like "so what happened to Riverrun" Daario's purpose essentially is just to make Dany not want to fully "commit" to Hizdahr, which is less relevant in the TV show but if you see how pointless Hizdahr was in the show, I guess you're right, it could've been cut. In the books, the Blackfish holds Riverrun. In the show, they explicitly state that he managed to take it back from the Freys, who had held it since the time of the Red Wedding. Plus, it had been three years since the Red Wedding in the show. This subplot belonged in S4 or S5 if it were really going to be relevant. And yeah, Hizdahr's death made all the inner conflict leading up to it kind of 'lol.' neonreaper posted... I haven't had large problems with the show until this season. Arya in Bravos was kinda boring. I don't know that I've ever really had a grasp on Essos. Jon Snow being brought back wasn't done very well. But I never felt like the show had major problems until now. Jamie and Bronn emerging from the water in 7-5 was just so damn jarring. I'm sad on your behalf. I was actually probably able to enjoy the season more because the show 'broke' for me much earlier, so I sadly came to expect garbage like that. --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:885715164] in Game of Th...
