She specifically said she would
sail up the narrow sea to the dreadfort
Well, that's just dumb.
A numberless mass of people, working for slave wages, always on the verge of starvation... they've gotta be Indian.
Here's how most of the audience reacts if they had ended the season with the RW:
They made the right decision. Still, in keeping with the supernatural finish to each season, either
would have worked just fine.
"Man, they kill off the good guys and now I have to wait a year? Fuck this show, I'm out."
the intro to Coldhands or the resurrection of Catelyn
I am not sure how different it is in the book but....
The Iron Islanders seem to be more proficient at naval/ skirmish combat or that is what I have gotten from the show. Even if they did take Moat Cailin they would have to trek across land without supply lines in an area pincered between The Freys and the Boltons via a means that does not play to their strengths. By attacking via sea they can more readily flee once they have Theon or escape if overwhelmed. Also they will be coming at an angle that the Boltons won't expect. Considering Balon Greyjoy was given the ultimatum to release the captured lands or get more 'gifts' the Boltons would expect Islanders to either retreat or put up a fight to the west not come around and attack from the east.
Of course the downside to the plan is the journey distance and time. Whether Theon would be alive or remains still intact is a gamble.

It is that way in the books as well, but considering there is a time limitation the Bolton Bastard gave them, you'd think she'd be in more of a hurry than to sail all the way around the continent.
George Martin is killing me. Please finish these books. His blog distresses me.
Ultimate twist. At the end, the reader dies.
You don't care about the Jets?

Not at all!! I also am not concerned about the compilation books...
Let this be a lesson to you young writers... outline your stories. He has just let this grow into a mess that he can not finish.
He claims to have given an outline to HBO so they could finish the series if he dies before writing the last books. Which, if true, makes his tardiness even worse.

Bron in the Adidas, looks like an Eastern European gangster. Quite fitting.

Cersei is truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
I could see him playing Mace Tyrell. He's tall enough for it. Not the Red Viper though.
Red Viper did not seem like a large man in my imagination. He came across as a fighter that was not there when your swing ended.

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, the description of Mace Tyrell was that of a former warrior run to fat. Homeboy is Skiiiiiin-nay.
Of course not, Oberyn Martell is already cast:
