Ser Barristan was a personal favourite. I'm glad we got to see how bad ass he is, and would have been in his prime decades ago... but still gutted he's dead.

Still waiting for reek to do something

Also, what's happened to half tree half crippy boy ?

Or the hooker with the youngest stark ?

Is he actually confirmed dead? I'm assuming that one out of he and Greyworm have to die, and he is most likely, but I figured he was still at least clinging to life at the end there.

In the preview for the next episode, they showed someone who looks a lot like Barrestan lying on a concrete slab as Daenarys mourns his loss.

That's why I'm assuming he's dead.

I'd love to be wrong, but that preview scene looked pretty conclusive to me :(

There's an interview with the actor who plays Selmy confirming he's death. He talks about being surprised he died so early, and about hoe his Rhaegar scene with Dany was the last he filmed. Vale Ser Barristan Selmy :(

they aren't important to the story. need more arya scenes with little to no dialogue and washing dead bodies.

Do you mean Winterfell? It's been explained in the show, Baelish is showing Sansa how the game is played. I have never understood Eddards aversion to the game his father played it rather well, yet eddard refused to play the game and sheltered his children from its existence. One thing I have found odd this season especially as a book reader is Cersi hosting the small council and neither Margery or her father ousting her, what authority does she have to chair the small council.

It's a huge variation and the explanation in the show doesn't wash.

I think the difference here is they wanted to keep Tyrion in the show and needed Varys with him to provide someone to interact with. Thus the King's Landing story has been delayed or altered

I don't really get your point to be honest. Book readers would understand her story and show watchers would not even recognise a change has taken place. Baelish's mentor role has come up in multiple episodes rather directly so I don't see where the confusion would come from.
