Haven't read the books; I don't mind the book stuff in here as long as it's spoilered so I can choose if I want to risk it or not.

I usually don't either but it just seemed like more and more of the conversation was starting to take place in book spoilers that I'm not reading.
Anyway, I was excited to see Alexander Siddig as Oberyn Martell's dad. I loved him in Syriana

Oh yeah, my bad. I get the feeling that Arya and Sansa are both gonna be going through big transformations, maybe Sansa won't make it to her destination but yeah I'm curious how her and Arya will continue to be relevant. I don't want them to start seeming as far removed as Danaerys

I think Jon snow becoming the wall commander was really cool.

Also, I'm sort of glad there's not gonna be bran storyline this time around. I was sort of feeling like that was eh

I guess all of the Stark kids (except Rickon? Where's Rickon?) are about to undergo periods of metamorphosis. Although I don't know if Sansa's new hair color implies that she has transformed already or if she still has more ahead of her

Yeah, it's great if you watched all of DS9, because he plays this overeager smug attempted-womanizing doctor, which seems to be pretty against type with how he'll be playing Martell.

I feel like it implies she's moved to the dark side.

I'm glad Obrien's wife is playing more of a role now; she was quite good in S4

I'm always bothered by how close Arya and Sansa came to meeting at he eerie. Like very bothered.

Also, Im getting the impression that the show is either prepping Jon Snow to sit on the iron throne when all is said and done, or killing him soon.

The reason I feel like Jon snow is going to be THE GUY, is that he A) doesn't want the power (which is what makes a good ruler according to Robert Baratheon), and B) he is the only one just trying to save people.

it's amazing that this series has remained appealing when so many people in it have been so completely irrelevant to each other for so long.
I don't think Sansa's moved to the dark side... Petyr Baelish isn't explicitly evil at all. I think it was more that she passed through a phase of maturation.

I think the non-naive / manipulative "side" is what sansa has moved to - she's no longer her father's daughter.

I remember sighing very loudly everytime i'd see Bran on the show or flip to a Bran chapter in the books. Like, in the books, at least they'd get interesting after the first few pages, but I don't ever remember "OH BOY, A BRAN CHAPTER?!?!?!?! FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
I swear I'm trying my best

FWIW - I highly recommend the podcasts A Cast of Kings and A Storm of Spoilers. They each do an episode per week - ACOK is specifically non-spoilery, and ASOS is specifically very-spoilery.
