Yeah but mfkn dragons.

I agree though Plague, since the writing got taken over it seems to have gone away from lurching from disaster to disaster, with good or popular characters sticking around a lot longer. Who knows whether this would have been the direction taken by GRRM. Still good enough for me though, I didn't see Cersei's power play coming a few episodes back and the fallout.

While trying not to include spoilers...... I found last weeks episode pretty strange. The defeated house was supposedly the richest and most powerful and was at home, yet they got strolled through with ease. What's up with that?
