It is extremely likely that a new ruler for Dorne will appear in the show based on casting leak, but we don't know what extent the role has.
There are eight Sand Snakes.Actually.. I never thought about that with regards to the show. Aren't all the Martells dead or captured? So who rules Dorne?
who else could have done the sexposition?
There are eight Sand Snakes.
So 8-3=
So Dorne being written out of the show is stupid to me.
LF. I hate his scheming ass, but he went out like a loser. He should have bolted the minute Bronn repeated his line to him when he gave him the dagger.
It's whoever the mom had left in charge as regent. If there are 5 more sand snakes, reason suggests that when she and the other three were away, Ellara would have put someone in charge (like Jon did with Sansa).There also has to be a power structure below that of The Martells. I'm aware that more exist. They just haven't been introduced to the audience, so they may as well not exist like said power structure.
That's what I mean. All of the Martell's that we've seen in the show are either dead or captured. So there isn't any known characters to rule over Dorne at the moment.
Your point makes me giggle when people look at the current head butting in Winterfall and go, "you guys need to be united!" The Riverlands are in chaos due to the killing off of all the Male Frey. The Reach (the breadbasket of Westeros) is a looted, pillaged, and sacked (Highgraden) mess. Dorne is doing whatever. The Stormlands...what the hell is happening there? The Vale has breast milk connoisseur Robyn "I want to see bad men fly" Arryn chilling while his army has been repurposed behind his back.I mean, the show doesn't really care who rules Dorne. Just like they don't really care who rules Highgarden, or the Twins, or Horn Hill. Like half the realm should be in complete chaos trying to figure out succession plans but none of that is gonna be important.
They don't even rule King's Landing. Cersei just receives hostages and people who are plotting to kill for her.
Karsi is a much better character than Tormund, and hasn't killed a bunch of innocent children to my knowledge.
That's another thing I don't like, Cersei blew up the sept and had the mountain go around killing people who trash-talked her, but we should see the outcome of that. People cowering in fear as Cersei's troops enforce curfews, people executed for speaking out against Cersei, and some sparrow left-overs praying to the seven and cursing her. But for all we know fuck all has changed.
That pissed me off honestly. You go from the end of season 6, where you have a coronation scene where the assembled people are piss scared, to the opening episode of season 7 where Cersei has somehow convinced everyone that she's the sane one and it's in fact the foreign Queen they need to be afraid of. Like how are you not facing an insurrection right now? Even Joff had people throwing shit at him and starting riots and what not.

I don't get the reactions towards the dick jokes.
They have been here forever, both books and the show. Yeah they were wittier back then, but it isn't exactly out of character.
What's even more annoying is that Sam's family were actually deserving of what happened to them, were given multiple opportunities (that neither of the other two examples were given) to keep their lives and titles, and still refused. Fuck them and fuck Sam. Always hated every bit of his story, and fighting to keep awake through most of it.
She didn't need to kill both of them at the same time. She coulda killed the dad first and given the son a chance to see the error of his ways.What's even more annoying is that Sam's family were actually deserving of what happened to them, were given multiple opportunities (that neither of the other two examples were given) to keep their lives and titles, and still refused.

Anyone that nutty to refuse even their own dad telling them to not needlessly die along with them, would absolutely stab you in the back the moment they had an opportunity. Dickon would be a seething ball of hate that would either need to be locked in a dungeon forever, or be kept under watch. The other option would have been to send him to the wall, which they both refused. You don't keep dangerous people alive.She didn't need to kill both of them at the same time.

I'm laughing at the execution part. I honestly do believe that Dany gives up the throne, and she realises that there more important things in life. I believe that her giving it up is essentially foreshadowed by her trip beyond the wall. She wouldn't be risking all of her men, and all her followers, and all her dragons to fight for people that hate her because of her family, if she desired the throne more than anything else.
I also don't believe the Starks would rule the seven kingdom either. A family with barely any soldiers to their name, isn't going to enforce their rule on a whole continent. Plus their style of rule would get them run out of the south in a matter of months. Have we forgotten the Game of Thrones part of the story? There's more of a chance that the seven kingdoms break up into independent realms, than for the Starks to rule over it all.
Littlefinger: "Don't fight in the North, or the South. Fight every battle, everywhere, always, in your mind. Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend, every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you've seen before."

Of course you can plot against them. Bran can see things, but he still can't stop an army if it were hellbent on taking or destroying Winterfell. It remains unclear to what extent Bran really wants to participate in Westeros power grabs.Bran Stark makes the Game of Thrones part irrelevant to the Starks. He was the key to beating Littlefinger. You really can't plot against the Starks when they have Bran on their side.

And Bran spends his free time viewing different timelines as if he were the Kwisatz Haderach. He knows almost everything that's coming
And then there's Arya's ultimate assassin skills. Arya brought down House Frey by herself. She can bring other antagonistic houses down too through subterfuge.
Basically, they're pretty much unstoppable.
Honestly, a Stark victory and control over Westeros seems to be where we're headed. It's not like any of the current Starks aside from Jon are anything like Ned Stark nor do they rule like Ned Stark. Is Arya an honor-obsessed idiot? Is Sansa? Is Bran? No.
Bran is a wizard. Arya a super assassin. Jon a dragon king. What is Sansa's power? Manipulative liar? I can only see her as Littlefinger's heir.

Logistics and management. Turns out those are more preferable skills in a ruler, rather than dragon kings and psychotic children who know kung fu.Bran is a wizard. Arya a super assassin. Jon a dragon king. What is Sansa's power? Manipulative liar? I can only see her as Littlefinger's heir.

Yup. Absolutely hate that scene now because instead of people hating how absolutely insanely stupid the Tarly's are, "Fuck the future of our house let's die together Dad"/ Papa Tarly not clocking his son in the face or pleading with Dany to restrain his son so as not to doom the future of his house... we get DANY IS A MONSTER JUST LIKE HER DAD. Just nonsense

GRRM: "Up to now, Sansa has been a piece that other people have moved about the board to achieve their own goals, using her, discarding her, using her for a different purpose, you know, 'You're gonna marry Joffrey.' 'No, you're gonna marry Loras.' 'You're gonna marry Tyrion.' She is beginning to at least try to understand how she can play the game of thrones and be, not a piece, but a player with her own goals and moving other pieces around. And she's not a warrior like Robb, Jon Snow. She's not even a wild child like Arya. She can't fight with swords, axes. She can't raise armies. But she has her wits, the same as Littlefinger has."
This is one of the only issues I have with the show. They've done a terrible job at making Sansa good at anything. She constantly shits on Jon's plans and ideas without ever offering an alternative. She didn't mention the Vale to Jon but when she brings the army we're expected to give her credit for something she barely had to think about.According to GRRM, Sansa is Littlefinger's heir.
The show doesn't know how to present a smart Sansa so they just repeatedly tell you that she's smart.
Maybe Daenerys will decide to give up the throne, and try to settle for a simpler life. A cottage with a red door, lemon trees, and grass to walk in barefoot.
Then Jon will give up the crown to... stand outside in the snow? What does he like to do?
Then power couple Sansa and Tyrion take over and make sure there's enough grain and wine for everyone and every character from every game, comic, cartoon, TV show, movie, and book reality come in with everything for a HUGE party.
