Arya crossing Meryn Trant off the list is sort of the equivalent of Mario fighting Iggy Koopa : a tougher-than-usual fight, but really just an appetizer for the final battle. Do you feel like they carved something interesting out of a very digressive Rocky-montage?

Well, that and Meereen. It starts small, not particularly dramatic. Dany takes a bath. In the pits, the people cheer for her. Dany is one of the most powerful human beings in the Known World, and this chapter is all about the moment when she feels the most powerless.

Hizdahr tries to get her excited about the fights yet to come, but Dany has had enough. And the one who lives will die some other day. And Martin dares to let her suddenly have a moment of existential purposelessness. And THAT is when the dragon appears. In both the show and the books, Drogon appears just in time to rescue Dany. It feels like a moment guaranteed to end any hope of Dany being a beloved Queen—how can you love a ruler who has a pet that occasionally swings down in the middle of town and starts burning people?

However similar show and book were in the first half of their shared story—and I think you can argue that Thrones has always been a different animal from Ice and Fire—they are clearly approaching the history of Westeros post-Tywin Lannister very differently.

To my eyes, Thrones is setting up a simpler tale. Stannis is up North, preparing to march South; Dorne is upset, and the Sand Snakes dream of marching North; sooner or later, Dany must come from the East.

I dunno. Have I talked myself into some kind of optimistic fugue state? How would they differ? Where did this newsboy cap come from? I know everyone loves Dorne. How can you not? They almost seem like a spinoff unto themselves—and in book form, I kinda lost them a bit in a haze of Greyjoys.

A Haze of Greyjoys is the working title for Book 8. The brutal one has a spear! The sexy one has a whip! The other one has a bikini top! And I sometimes feel like Thrones at its best is Thrones at its most indulgent.
