Episode 1 review: The Red Woman

For me....

It Lacked the punch of previous openers but it got the job done of setting up where this season is going to go. It's nice to just check back in with Tyrion and Varys, likewise with Jaime and Cersei.
The Sansa and Theon scenes were pretty awesome, and Danaerys and the Dothraki was a tad Martin-y and stretched out but it looked very pretty indeed. The highlight of the episode for me were the scenes at the Wall though, Davos is never not awesome and the whole situation is really gearing up towards something spectacular.

However, and it's a big however, the show has utterly ruined Dorne. They never fully explored it, shoehorned in the bland and characterless Sand Snakes, spun their wheels all last season, and killed off Doran, Ario and Trystane in a borderline comical fashion. I thought it was a dream sequence or something at first because of how quickly it moved, but no, it's apparently real, and one of the best characters in the books has now been removed from the show's equation.

Reo Hotah killed like he was a koala (this is one of the best fighters in the world we're talking about), Podrick fighting off 3 soldiers like he was, well Aero Hotah, Doran, Trystane, I mean.. what...? Seriously Er.. they do realise that Mel has taken her necklace off before and that hasn't revealed her as 300 years old? Have they SEEN their own show?
