On a more serious note, the absence of Bran in the teaser yet again points towards a lack of diversity in the writing room. I mean, yeah, we are going to joke about it and roast them to no end. But the fact that the only disabled member of the family doesn’t appear in the promo where the Starks are walking through the crypts… it’s telling.

I don’t even care who ends up on the fucking throne, literally all I want to see in the final season is a Gendry and Arya reunion.
Sansa: You actually rank everyone in Winterfell by our appearance?
Theon: Calm down, number two.
The real tragedy of the book to show conversion is that the sand snakes actually wanted to crown Myrcella, not kill her.
See, Dorne is the only kingdom that treats women as if they’re equals. Women inherit lands and titles there. In fact, Doran actually has a daughter, Arienne, who leads the sand snakes in this plot. Oh, and she’s the crown princess of Dorne. Trystane is such a minor character.
They want to crown Myrcella, because according to Dornish law, she should have rightfully become the next ruler of Westeros instead of Tommen. Their revenge on Kings Landing isn’t to kill another Lannister, it’s literally to create a civil war against patriarchy. To make the Lannisters chose a side.
So by erasing Arienne, and making the sand snakes entire plot revolve around wanting to kill an innocent girl, the show really destroyed one of the best plot lines and kingdoms in the books.

I’d hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes bloodred, skin purple. Must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me. A shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. You see, I had never seen the poison work before.

And Robb. Robb who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy’s loins.

Now and always.
One of the weirdest adaptation choices from A Song of Ice and Fire to Game of Thrones was the decision to undermine Littlefinger whenever he appears on screen. In the books, Petyr Baelish got away with everything by being innocuous, charming, and very useful; he was a physically and militarily unimposing financial genius at the bottom rung of lordship who flattered and deferred his way into everyone’s good graces.
TV Littlefinger is so obviously unctuous that grease seeps from the ground as he walks and he is so openly reviled that every time he opens his mouth the entire onscreen cast swarms in a berserker rage, fighting to be the first to chokeslam him into the wall. I don’t understand how he gets away with anything in the show.
