but that was a deep cut tho. And that whole shit about needing to establish her is a cop out. At least to me. Of course I'm a book reader and I know the history of the character and the story but anybody with at least a elementary level of comprehension could have understood a scene with her in it.

Strictly show watchers may not have remembered the whole Beric Dondarian resurrection plot right off but people should remember the Red Wedding and that the Freys did that shit and she's executing men from House Frey.

Hell they didn't even have to explain it. Just make it a big WTF cliffhanger. Mofos would have been geeked about next season. As you can tell I'm a little butt hurt but it is what it is. The omission is doubly odd because this alters the trajectory of Pod & Brienne's story. But I'll hold out hope for her in Season 5, maybe the opener.
