So happy that the Christmas Filks have become a tradition. A lot of my favorite podcasts have nice yearly things like that and I'm glad that it's continuing for one of the absolute best.
Glad that LMB was able to join in and really loved his thoughts. I had no idea that the most prolific poster had never been on a show before.
I love the Jaqen = Scarecrow theory. Lines up nicely with Arya = Batman.
Going to have to assign Batman roles to every character strictly in Arya's POV from now on. Ghost of High Heart gives the vision about Balon and probably a Faceless Man with a drowned crow (Euron Crowseye Greyjoy) on his shoulder.
Quote:
"I dreamt of a man without a face, waiting on a bridge that swayed and swung. On his shoulder perched a drowned crow with seaweed hanging from his wings."
And we know that Balon supposedly fell off a bridge from the report Robb received.
I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I think that we Vassals agreed on the last FeastDance episode that while we find Dorne appealing from a cultural standpoint, its just inherently less interesting because it was introduced to the story so late. We also took issue with Doran keeping Arianne in the dark and some of his other decisions. I personally don't think he's nearly as smart as he's given credit for. The fact that he's still trying to play a long game while potentially getting into bed with Varys/Illyrio who have shown that they are willing to let plans burn pretty flippantly doesn't make much sense.
However, I'm sure that a continued discussion on Dorne and their value to the story and the merit of Doran's strategy would be more than welcome in the future.
And tahnks FTWard! Ithink you're right, maybe Jaqen swung by the Isles real quick for some murder. If only we knew how they communicated with each other!!
