Recently saw the Bling Ring. I was incredibly disappointed, though it might have been worth the $5 to hear Emma Watson's Valley accent for two hours.

Who is that for Arianne? She looks perfect!

Yeah, the point of Dorne is that there is also a wide spectrum of skin tones (salty, sandy, stony) but Oberyn is pretty explicitly a dark haired, olive skinned Salty Dornishman. Tyene, one of the Sand Snakes, is a mix of stony and salty so she has dark skin and light hair/eyes.

I don't trust the show runners, since casting agencies have a habit of not casting people of color and, when they do, they cast very light skinned ones for POC roles. I'd like to see the casting call for Oberyn, personally.

White and Latin aren't mutually exclusive. I mean, Alexis Bledel is also Latin@ but I wouldn't cast her as Arianne, you know?

Sean T Collins over at All Leather Must Be Boiled has done a wonderful combined reading order. There is one that is spoiler free, and one that is not. I'm definitely going to do it when I get to that part of my re read.

I've heard a lot of people say Tyrion, but I dislike him so I reject that theory out of hand. 

I'm assuming it will actually be Aegon Targaryen, although I doubt the person we've been told is Aegon is actually him.

That post probably could have said "If we hate characters for being naive why doesn't everyone hate Ned Stark" or "Seriously, guys, Robb Stark is much less intelligent than Sansa let's shame him instead", but House Swarthmore words are "Why use 10 words when you can use 1000".

There has been a lot of discussion of Shae replacing Dontos in Sansa's stroyline. I'm unsure how I feel about that decision, should it be the case.

Whoever it ends up being, having a midnight godswood meeting where the possibility of escape is mentioned would be a good way to wrap up Sansa for this season.
