This isn't related to the episode, but I saw these while aimlessly surfing the web and thought I'd share. If GoT were made by Disney

Yeah, he's just under 5'7" so pretty short, especially compared to almost 6'3" Gwendoline Christie!

There is a whole lot more I am not sure of but I figured I would start off slow. Thanks.
I don't recall if they explained this very well in the show, but in the books she essentially said, "How can I rule a kingdom if I can't even rule a city?" So she decides to put down roots in Mereen in order to restore order and prove to herself that she is worthy of ruling the Seven Kingdoms.

She declared her intent to reopen the fighting pits and marry Hizdahr in order to restore peace.

The joke's going to be on Hizdahr when he learns that the Khaleesi has sworn off any more nude scenes.

And we know that Jon is too noble to stray from the path to settle something personal.

I do remember her saying that on the show.

When is Bran and that weird tree guy going to come into play? It's halfway through the season!

Yes, she's actually hot now.

They've already said Bran won't be on this season at all.

Bran is going to be an adult by the time they get around to his story.

I don't quite get why he's so adamant about keeping his word when he's already betrayed his oath anyway.

I thought it was odd when Lord Commander Mormont went off with that huge band of rangers north of the wall, but with all the unrest that Snow's decision caused, can he really afford to leave his post and travel with the Wildlings? It's a similar question I have concerning Dany, with all the unrest she's caused how is she ever going to be able to leave Mereen and not have a revolt while she's gone?

I was surprised Stannis lent those ships to Snow and the wildlings; at least they addressed that with a scene, but that seems like a lot for him to give up, even if he doesn't need the ships right away.

Stannis has really stepped it up this season and the end of last. His scene with Tarley was great. I'm sure now that he's a more sympathetic character he's doomed, though.

Right, and they just set that up with Brienne.

Why are the White Walkers taking so long to get to the wall? Tarley ran his fat ass all the way back to the wall in S3 but that army of undead warriors, who probably don't even need sleep or food, still haven't arrived yet?

They can't see where they're going through all that fog.

And they're easily distracted.

Every time a crow flies by, they turn & blindly follow it until they bump into a mountain or something. Good thing Rick Grimes isn't a member of the Night's Watch.

Hope Arya's training speeds up & she gets sent on a mission soon.

A girl needs her stimulation.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it, though it's difficult for me to see.
He's honorable, not perfect. An honorable man doesn't just throw up his hands and say "screw it." If I ever failed my oath and cheated on my wife, I wouldn't just say, "Oh well, I guess I'll tag anything that moves now." I wouldn't call Ygritte a mistake or a revocation of his oath; I would call her an exception.

I thought it was odd when Lord Commander Mormont went off with that huge band of rangers north of the wall, but with all the unrest that Snow's decision caused, can he really afford to leave his post and travel with the Wildlings?
Maybe you're right (I don't know what's going to happen), but I'd suspect time is a factor. Jon has already mostly dealt with the dissent in the ranks (beheadings tend to make one think twice).

It's a similar question I have concerning Dany, with all the unrest she's caused how is she ever going to be able to leave Mereen and not have a revolt while she's gone?
The former slaves love her for their freedom. It's mainly the slavers who would revolt. Dany would need to leave behind a strong system of government. It's the problem conquerors have always faced. What do you leave behind when you leave? You have to leave enough of your forces behind.

I was surprised Stannis lent those ships to Snow and the wildlings; at least they addressed that with a scene, but that seems like a lot for him to give up, even if he doesn't need the ships right away.
Even though I know Stannis has some affection for Jon, it certainly seems a commitment greater than the relationship would warrant.

Eh? They can't go there because it's too warm.
