Cersei is supposed to have little to no power at this point, to me this is a case of the directors keeping around a good actress just because they want to.

I don't remember that. She orchestrated the faith militant in the books then got caught in her own stupid trap, right?

There is a new episode next week. No skip for Memorial Day. I checked as soon as this episode was over.

Here's where Cad talking realism in GoT gets silly, but...
Why would Lady Olenna come to KL to see about Loras getting freed and not bring a small army? One would think if ANYBODY took the heir to a major house hostage the first thing to be done would be to march your army up there to say, give him back now or my army will fuck your shit up. The sparrows aren't so numerous or well armed that they'd stand up to one of the major house's army. Why would the Tyrells just kinda stand by and do nothing?
Particularly now that Margaery has been taken also. It'd be go-time in my mind.

LOL no it's a setup. In fact the producers have spent so much screentime building her up this season because they spent$200k of the show's budget for the payoff.

The only reason anyone gives a shit about sandsnakes is because they're called sandsnakes. It's three boring ass swarthy as all hell women who Bron shouldve been able to murder the piss out of. Sort of funny that this very decidedly non PC story has the most PC aspect ever of women who can defeat men in combat.

Well Arianna (Ellaria takes role?) was working with them to cause a war, and when Hotah (black axedude) fucks up Arys (Jaime takes role) Darkstar (not present) went rogue and hurt Myrcella. So they never really got the opportunity to make their move openly because Doran outmaneuvered them.
I'm really quite disappointed with the entire Dornish arc of the show. Arianna's scheming was the centerpiece of the Dorne drama, and she's not in the show. She's far more important than Sansa. I think the fan favoritism of the Starks and Lannisters has hurt the integrity of the show's depiction of events. I really despise Jaime being in Dorne rather than fighting in the riverlands as well.

Actually was working out pretty well for Robb until he betrayed and then trusted the Freys.

Does nobody else think LF ends up with Darth Sansa?
Stannis weakens Roose, LF shows up with vale troops, saves Sansa, marries her, moonteas the bastard, then holds, what?... 50% of westeros? With a consenting stark wife? (She seemed ok kissing him, and mentioned she would be married when he got back, so she digs him imo).
LF + Sansa (north + vale) vs Kings Landing (south + lannisport) vs Targ (mereen + dothraki, and maybe dorne? Tryion saves marcella and Jamie), with ice zombies inc?
Also, they could still introduce some of the missing characters, season finale, here is dude or the iron born fleet, credits (episode 9 always peaks, 10 pumps next season). Not saying they will, but possible? Yes, I know they already said they got the ships etc, just an example.

I think you can "see the future" in the series now based on what they leave out of the book. If Doran was planning to team with Aegon/Connington to get revenge on the Lannisters, and the show has completely cut out the Aegon/Connington storyline, then you can deduce that that arc wasn't going to go anywhere. Since Daenerys his recently acquired a navy out of nowhere, it might be reasonable to conclude that when she abandons Meereen and comes to Westeros, Dorne will team up with her instead. Maybe thats where the books are going to go with it, just by a more circuitous route.

My only problem with this is why does Littlefinger give Sansa to Ramsey temporarily? If he wants to marry her, why let her potentially get abused/flayed/tortured by Ramsey? LF knows damn well what type of guy Ramsey is.

Ser Stonezone is going to get blood everywhere at the fighting pits and infect so many people. This would then maybe cause a mass pilgrimage of the infected to Mel? Not sure.

Since Jaime is actually the one that killed Dany's father, crazy or not, I think he would taste Drogon's fire if Dany ever meets him. Don't think Tyrion will convince her to spare him.

He doesn't. This is already in an interview with the writer / producer of the episode. In the show universe, Ramsay isn't a notorious psychopath like he is in the books. He's just some bastard that Roose legitimized so he had an heir.
