He's missing the attitude the previous one had.

I know we're talking about season 4, but he didn't get much spotlight in s3 either, so if you can form an opinion on s3 daario, you should be able to form one about s4 daario.

I instantly thought S3 Daario was about perfect. I didn't get the same reception at all from this one. I'm open to changing opinions but IMO he didn't pull off the same "swagger" that his predecessor had.

The Dreadfort in the opening credits!

Interesting that they are pushing for a Mediterraneanish accent with the main Dornish characters. Indira's natural accent has nothing to do with her slow drawl in the show.

Because Ed Skrein will be replacing Jason Statham as the new star of the Transporter movies franchise.

I've always kind of viewed the Dornish has Mediterranean, so it's fitting well with me. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of Indira, all of her characters (that I have seen anyway) have been a bit too smug for my tastes. But perhaps she won't have a huge role here... unless she absorbs a certain female companion role for next season (which would be weird, but suddenly doesn't seem so unlikely)

So have I. "Olive skin" is Mediterranean, not black, and the fandom always had me somewhat puzzled with the insistence that the Dornish ought to be black (...though having them black would be better than having all of Essos dealing with the White Jesus Lady figure), so I get what they are going for. It's just that I didn't expect
her
to have that accent, they haven't been doing much in terms of forcing accents other than doing non-American, and Pedro Pascal's own sounds more natural (although it isn't!). It was a surprise, but not a bad one.

I love the Martells so far. I would watch an episode of Bronn and Oberyn alone. And another of Brienne and Lady Olenna.

As long as it's followed by more of the adventures of Arya and the Hound then I will accept that.

In other thoughts, I'm curious about Sansa's necklace.

I actually thoroughly enjoy the Martells, and I think the accent and look they have fits what I envisioned Dorne as. I always viewed Dorne as Spain in Europe. I mean, the geography
is
similar, Dorne, like Spain, has a vast mountain range separating it from the rest of Europe, and it has a much hotter climate than that of the other parts of the continent. So I guess I was visualizing either Spaniards or Mediterranean people, and I am not disappointed, Oberyn and the dornishmen are badass.
I swear I'm trying my best

Spain is on the Mediterranean, for what it's worth.

You know it's a good show when you know what's going to happen and you're still really tense.

SHIT YES.

they made me coil back in horror at
JOFFREY'S FUCKING DEATH
. That takes some seriously good writing and direction.

Also did anyone else catch the shot that revealed the culprit?
