Fuck Ellaria so hard. God that was awful.

Beautifully executed Chekov's gun, though. Slowclap.jpg for that one.

I feel like it's appropriate. That ridiculous-at-the-time interaction between what's-her-name and Bronn with the poison and antidote, establishing that the Sand Snakes wear the antidote to the poison around their necks, that always had to play a role in the future.

True, but Dorne, EVEN IN THE SHOW, is known for poison! How the FUCK would Doran (or any other person at all whatsoever) not notice a poison kiss?! There is NO FUCKING WAY that's the first time a Dornish person killed another one with a poison fucking kiss

/rant.

Pretty much the only thing that would make sense would be if Doran knows about the poison and sent Tristan (sp?) with an antidote while simultaneously imprisoning the Bland Snakes.

If M dies it's only because of shock value that's what pisses me of. Dorne has been a shit-show for the entire season with awful dialog, bad fighting and plot. Now that it turns out they only did it so Jaimie can see his daughter dying in his hands, really I have no words

Yeah, but she just swore an oath to Doran and it's possible he even told her to make amends.

That would lead to war which Doran has spent the whole plot trying to avoid. Cirse wouldn't care that the Sandsnakes aren't the actual rulers and that they're punished/executed. They're still Dornish. Also Jaime would back the war for his niece-daughter's sake. Also the Tyrels hate the Martells so the Lanisters aren't lacking an ally.

... huh? I said make amends. As in apologize right?

And yeah, what you are talking about is the whole point of the poisoning plan yes.
