Not necessarily. We don't know that Gregor ever died, to be brought back to life. Qyburn may have prolonged his life and 'saved' him via other methods he had learnt in his travels. Also - what was he doing with the girls Cersei kept letting him have? Live dissections, or something more sinister?

It was very good to see more of Dorne however and more of the riverlands & Eyrie.

I like the Dorne parts, too. The final revelations - that Arianne was meant to wed Viserys, and Quentyn (sp?) is on his way to court Dany - didn't see that coming. It seems that Prince Doran has had his hand in a few pots regarding recent events in the Seven Kingdoms. Which casts a shadow on Littlefinger's role in it all, I think. I've always thought Littlefinger more opportunistic than creative, as it were, and many of the things he claims responsibility for may have originated with Doran....

One thing which fascinated me was the change which has begun with Sansa. She's starting to 'become' Alayne in her thoughts, which may not bode well for the Starks.

I was more surprised that Littlefinger managed to hold the Vale, more or less. But I think Sansa is still a Stark at heart...

What does everyone else think about the rise of the Militant Orders of the Faith? I feel this will have major repercussions for the next few books. After all, they've already shown that they're more powerful than the Queen in her own capital city!

Don't like 'em. Cersei's a moron, and not a tenth the ruler she thought she was. Strife and discord are all they will bring. Especially with Fire Lord's faith spreading throughout the heart of the kingdom....
