Ah, that makes sense. And, yes, probably unavoidable given that they've got a huge cast some of whom are only going to get two or three scenes a series.

I hope they're leaving the prophecy out, but I'm biased because I hate prophecies as a narrative device in general, and I really hated that one in particular.

I'm increasingly convinced that Doreah is with the dragons, especially with Dany's line about how the dragons like her. The only question is whether she was grabbed or went voluntarily.
