Summary

The first episode of season six of HBO’s “Game of Thrones”, entitled “The Red Woman”, seems to be a real controversy with the fans. Disappearing dogs, dead-end Dorne, and shifty Sand Snakes, among other things, caused the flipping of thousands of tables across the globe. What did we think? Brace yourself, contrarian opinion is coming; we’re mostly okay with how things went down. Who has time to worry about dogs when Brienne is pledging half of Ned Starks sword to his daughter Sansa’s service? Or Ghost is howling at Castle Black? Or while we’re witnessing the craziest disrobing scene in GoT history? This is a super-sized episode one extravaganza, loaded with observations about the human condition, life, death, love, and, uh, dragon poop. And you know our mailbag was full to bursting, so find out what your fellow fans have to say. Of course, we’re not finished this week, not by a long shot. Friday will see the release of our SpoiLore podcast, where we put on our tinfoil hats and try to figure out what the future holds for Snow, Melisandre, Dorne, Daenerys, and her dragons based on book lore.

0:36.8	This was I want to say a controversial episode and I was not surprised one bit by that.
0:42.8	Well, I mean we knew this kind of coming in that yeah I'm expecting a lot of the book readers to
0:48.8	be especially in the first few episodes because all they've talked about on the off season because
0:52.7	I'm subscribed to a lot of them and check out the forums is you know people not wanting to watch it
0:58.0	and saying how it's going to go off the rails and you know they're like I feel like there's a certain
1:02.4	segment of the book readers who are predisposed to anything that not only I mean you're not even
1:08.1	talking about deviations from the canon you're talking about deviations from your predictions based
1:12.8	on the canon right and that is like this weird choose your own adventure where you know you chose

1:26.1	confirmation bias it's natural it's best and yeah it is completely natural it's unfortunate I think

1:47.1	across as negative to me the vast majority of the voices out there saying this is bullshit I don't
1:52.0	know because like I thought that like within a few hours of the meltdown thread that they posted
1:56.4	on the song of ice and fire forums there was another one like does anyone else think that this
2:00.8	was a pretty good episode and then there is so I but the the most talk I see about it is look at
2:06.4	this plot hole yeah look at their choices and it's it's not a positive overall thing yeah well I
