    The season finale is here! Sean and I have a slightly different view about it, but as is our wont, we agree on a lot, and the show stays superb even though Sean left a bit disappointed. Download the episode

    There’s a lot of dragons this episode, and we’re comparing the show to Better Call Saul, The Americans and Halt and Catch Fire, because that makes a lot of sense - as you’ll learn listening! Download the episode!

Dark Star

Not a patron

But I do have 2 Darkstar theories:

1.) He did kill Myrcella and that her cousin/look-a-like was scarred so she could be sent back as Myrcella.
2.) He is actually Oberyn’s male Bastard and was Doran’s new snake he is hiding in the grass.

Darkstar betrayed Arianne to Doran then tried to force Doran’s hand to go to war by killing Myrcella and he succeeded in killing her but Doran wouldn’t let his plans be ruined by his daughter or Dark Star so a little girl must be scarred he still feels righteous but Myrcella did die under his protection all the same. Myrcella died a Queen at darkstar’s hand as maggy the prophecy states gold their crowns I think this means Cersei’s children will die monarchs. Tommen I think like in the show will die last and that Myrcella has been killed by the dornish in Dorne.

I see Obara embracing Darkstar as a brother in revenge and killing Balon Swann.

Awful

Perhaps the least informed understanding of the Russian Revolution ever recorded. Given how bad it is, I cannot believe you on anything else now.
