I just realized that the season is now halfway over, and we've seen little of Dorne. It was supposed to be the primary setting for this season, at least according to all the promotional material. If that's true, then they're going to have to show a whole lot of Dorne over the next 5 episodes.
I'm still irritated about the whole Daenerys marriage thing. They just can't resist pairing her off, or having her hit on, by various swarthy types. The captain of the Second Sons would be more acceptable, and she's already been sampling his wares on a regular basis anyway.
I called it with Jorah and the greyscale. I was watching with my brother, and I was like "Jorah didn't really answer when Tyrion asked if he'd been touched -- he's got it."
Back to the Stannis plotline. I can't help but think he is making a critical error by riding on Winterfell before Jon Snow has returned with Wildling allies. I know he is trying to get moving before they are snowed in, and the Wildling alliance may never materialize, but I really really don't want to see Stannis defeated by the damn Boltons of all people. The writers know Stannis is giving voice to the viewers right now, with his pledge to put Roose Bolton (Son of Michael, First of His Name) and Ramsey's heads on a spike. We the viewers so badly want that sort of justice served, and we're led to believe Stannis is exactly the sort of man who will deliver it. That's why I am convinced at the moment of truth we won't get it. It's one of the major recurring themes in this whole story, that there is no purity of motive in that world -- what should happen, what would be right by all accounts, seldom materializes. It's how they set off Ned Stark to be such an anomaly in that world.
