<p>Part of the problem with converting this type of saga to TV is the many storylines that need to be shown.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you look at the number of key plotlines currently going you can see how some will get scant time in a series.</p>

<p>they already introduced one form the books which are donew now...but it seemed to fit with things now.</p> -

An easy fix to that would have been to expand the number of episodes from 10 to say 12. Sure it's a costly series to make but no doubt HBO is raking it in.<br>
Also if you believe the show runners comment earlier that there's only around 13 episodes left after this season, it all seems a bit rushed with so much left out from the books. -

<p>Least they pretty much brought Dorne to an end or at least speeded through it.</p>

<p>Is that the end of them? Wasted TV minutes then if that is the case. Could have left it alone and it wouldn't have affected the story much at all.</p>
<p>Only thing I can think of is that come the day the three dragons return the Lanisters and Dorne are to busy with each other to notice.</p> -

<p>you mean when Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Dany ride in on a dragon each?</p> -

Hey post your own crackpot theories don't pinch mine (and several you tube channels ) theory -

<p>Happy they brought Jon Snow back early too, didn't let it linger all season as you would normally expect the makers to do.<br>
Oh and how much of an awesome angry grumpy bastard is Wun Wun. What a colossal error it was to accidentally shoot him with an arrow.</p>

<p>Wun wun is one of the giants right ? if there's one criticism of the show it's that they talk a lot about them but them ( and for that matter Gregor Clegane ) have done fuck all so far. Hope they all feature more as it progresses.</p> -
Unless it plays a vital part in the final wash up, Dorne should have been left out altogether. It has been comically bad and wasted valuable time.<br><br>
The Roose thing is a bit weird. No way would that have happened in the books. The dog thing. Hell yes!<br><br>
I do like the flashback thing. Would be cool if they showed the Brandon Stark vs Littlefinger "duel". -

<p>I think they killed Dorne off as soon as they were told by Martin how the books finished.. I reckon they got told how it ended and went.. 'and how the fuck does Dorne relate to this? why did you get us to build all this up?'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I blame Martin and nobody else if Dorne is a dead end plot.</p> -

<p>Yeah I can kinda picture that but you can bet the big fella will take a few of them with him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quite funny that the new Khal joker is a kiwi, obviously Samoans and Hispanics all look the same to international audiences. Pretty sure he played NPC rugby back in the day. Definitely played for Glasgow too.</p> -
I wonder where Rickon is? Davos sure ain't looking for him. The Black Fish must be out there somewhere too.

Didnt he pretty much give them the ending when the series started? If Dorne was a dead end they should have known before season 6. -

They had no choice but to include Dorne/the sand snakes due to the flagging amount of new titties we were seeing. -

<p> </p>
<p>that would imply he has an ending, which with the multiple storylines, how you get there is a long and winding road.</p>
