Thanks.....for the words of "hope" I needed.

Actually.....this thought has crossed my mind. It's all part of the grand plan. Glad you brought the theory up for consideration.

AMEN

I am so depressed. As a long time lover of the books and now the show.....I find myself not really caring about the outcome of the books or show if Jon Snow is really dead. I am serious. I was so convinced his was the Song of Ice and Fire and a big believer in R + L = J. If that interview by Kit is to the truth....then just let the Others conquer the whole lot of them. Even though I love Dany.....I know deep down that I was really counting on Jon to be TPTWP. The only bright spots for me was Brienne killing Stannis and Theon and Sansa making that leap. I am feeling so disillusioned. Need a new book series to read. Heck....there wasn't even a smoking wound nor calling for Ghost. Nothing to hope for,

This is what I believe as well.

Theon and Sansa pulled a "Butch and Sundance" move! loved it! Hope Pod and Brienne find them.

Theon and Sansa pulled a "Butch and Sundance" move! loved it! Hope Pod and Brienne find them.

I agree! He grew some new "balls" and Theon Greyjoy made an appearance!

I just rewatched and I think I hate Stannis worse than Joffrey or Ramsey. Davos surely won't support him after sacrificing Shireen. His army deserves to FREEZE in the snow. HATE!

I watched the after show clip available on YouTube and later also available on HBO Go or OnDemand. I don't think D & D lied. They sounded like it is definitely Stannis who is responsible for sacrificing Shireen. Seriously....this shouldn't be such a shock. He has been having Melisandre burn people since the character was introduced. He was never a good guy.

I have always considered him weak....even in the books. He is now responsible for having Melisandre murder both his brother and daughter. He certainly is not like the Starks who believe the person dictating the execution should do it himself. He is a coward and a JERK!

Maybe she is just taking a short flight around Meereen to exert her power and will be back soon?

So it is CONFIRMED Stannis will burn Shireen in the books?

He really did an outstanding job advising her! Of course....he knew his life depended on his ability to use his wits and impress her.

Double post

The battle at Hardhome really made all the other stuff pale in comparison. Cersei, Sansa, Jaime.Stannis, Dany...etc......haven't experienced NOTHING yet! We just got a preview of WINTER and it is coming fast.

LOL....he can probably walk there!

This was my favorite episode of the season. I cried when Maester Aemon started talking about "Egg" and at his funeral. Sam is one of my favorite characters and I am happy for him and Gilly. I will be really upset if something happens to them. I got scared we were gonna lose Bronn there for a few seconds. Maybe he'll marry a Sand Snake....lol. Loved the scene between Lady Olenna and the High Sparrow because both are portrayed by such great actors. I was rooting for Tyrion to get those chains off and make his presence known. It looks like Cersei is finally being thrown from her high horse. I was hoping Reek wouldn't go to Ramsay so I am disappointed about that. It appears Brienne and Pod will have to do the rescuing. Happy Stannis turned downed Melisandre's blood sacrifice but I suspect when their situation becomes desperate then she will be sacrificed by Shireen's mother, etc. The episode moved really fast and I can't believe we are getting deep into TWOW. I'm guessing the High Sparrow and the Faith Militant are going to take down both the Tyrells and the Lannisters. What is Jaime going to do? Can't help but wonder what his next step will be.

Favorite episode of the season!

Could be. Anything is possible on this show. I expect her to being using her skills on Meryn Trant pretty soon.

It seems we are getting closer and closer to The Others invading and maybe the show will take a major sci-if/fantasy type turn with more of a focus on the magic ruling properties of The Others, Dragons, Bran, The Children of the Forest, etc. There is a greater threat to humanity than all these political and power grabbing games. it really shows the corruptness and how in the quest for things and power we forget about the greater threat to the planet. My husband thinks The Others should win and wipe all their sorry asses off Planteos,

Right....he could see it in her body language, facial expressions, or perhaps the tone/quality of her voice,

They were training her to be able to lie perfectly. Jaqen realized she was ready when she lied so perfectly to the dying girl. She is now ready to be a Faceless Man. She will give up her face and acquire one of those in the face gallery as a disguise like Jaqen does, At least this is how I interpreted the scene.

Littlefinger could easily take out the Lannisters by finally revealing the truth about Jaime and Cersei, The Faith Militant could arrest Jaime, Cersei and delegitimize Tommen and Myrcella's right to the throne.

I've thought about this too and it is probably one of Varys "little birds" since he has a spy network world wide. Maester Aaemon probably got it from the Citadel once they got word of it. After all, they already know about Daenerys in King's Landing even though they don't seem too concerned about it yet.
