"Creatively it made sense to us," says David Benioff, "because we wanted it to happen. They're two of the best characters of the show. To have them come so close together this season then have them not meet felt incredibly frustrating. Also, we're on a relatively fast pace. We don't want to do a 10-year adaptation of the books, we don't want to do a nine-year adaptation. We're not going to spend four seasons in Meereen. It's time for these two to get together. It's hard to come up with a more eloquent explanation, but this just felt right." PLUS: George R.R. Martin says "the Sparrows are my version of the medieval Catholic Church, with its own fantasy twist," this week's episode doubled down on sexual assault, Game of Thrones is finally spoiling the books, and about half a dozen plots were burned through in an hour.
