  1. I actually loved his speech about what it's needed to be a good king, even though I think he invented one King (Onys?). One wonders why didn't he give it to Cersei before she went to marry Robert.
  2. Yeah, sucks not Belwas and not Coldhands but whores. Whores, whores, whores. Whores everywhere, women and men.
  3. I know many will think this Olything guy is pretty, but I rather watch Oberyn naked all day long.
  4. LOL, Shireen is going to end up winning Stannis' war and not Melissandre :lol:
  5. And suddenly, tumblr become enraged by the sight of a rape.
  6. Not only Sansa. Everybody thought the King was ok. Then, he proved them all wrong in the same episode.
  7. Last night after I rewatched the scene in Dragonstone, I came to the conclusion that DD want us to put our eyes on Shireen and Stannis, rather than anything R'hllor or mel related. I wrote yesterday that Selyse simply looks jelous of Shireen and I think that's what DD wants us to think as well, whatever their reasons are: copypasting from another thread: - Stannis is clearly disgusted by everything around him, including Davos. Shireen is not there, though. He probably doesn't want her around the whole mess that it's his life. Shireen's absence means to me that for Stannis, the world now is divided in two things: everything he hates and Shireen. And Shireen doesn't mix with the things he hates. - Selyse also disgusts him. He didn't say it with words, but he's pretty much implying that she might be his wife but that's all. She even tries to recall what she might perceive as a caring act of Stannis, but he barely reacts to the memory: "of course I remember", like "well, duh, I was there". - She changes the conversation to the lord of light and Stannis is all "meh". He pays attention when Selyse baits him with something she knows he cares: Shireen, and then she calls her a "stubborn little beast". That doesn't sound like something she would say simply because Shireen refuses to "convert". To me, it looks like she actually dislikes the girl, maybe because of the greyscale, maybe because she's a girl. Or maybe... - Selyse states that Stannis thinks Shireen's sweet because she smiles at him. While in the previous dialogue is clear that Stannis barely pays attention to his wife besides his marital duties of feeding her and keeping her safe, Shireen doesn't need to do anything but to smile to have Stannis' attention and love, something Selyse doesn't have. - Selyse also calls Shireen "sullen, subborn and sinful". She's pretty much describing Stannis right there. It's Selyse the one who doesn't know Stannis. The whole scene is quite symbolic because of the dialogue and the food scenery: Selyse is starving from Stannis' favour and she's unable to provide him with anything he likes ("the meat's off, get something else"). She even got him a women who promises him being King and he's still unhappy. Stannis complains about the food while Selyse simply eats it in silence and tries to do her best with the few she has: that's their marriage. And when Melisandre speaks of suffering hunger as a child until the Lord of Light found her, that's Selyse right there, being hungry of something else (love) until Melisandre found her.
  8. I think it shows they careless. In book, there is many people around the King helping him. Here, it's only Joffrey's parents and they both pushed people aside to get him. If people kept having doubts, well, they have none now. Also, Jaime calls him "Joffrey". Not "my King" or "Your Highness". "Joffrey". I mean, come one. He might claim he doesn't care but it's his son nevertheless. Jaime says what he says in books because he wasn't there to watch him die but now he's starting to be closer to the kids he's having feelings.
  9. Forgot to ask. What does Stannis mean by "meat's off"?. Don't get it, me not speaks american.
  10. Well, he had Sansa. She didn't say much but she said everything with only her murder stare. Also, we don't see that in books but we do see here that people was pretty much horrified by Joffrey's behaviour towards his uncle. Anyway, I just rewatched the Stannis, CrazyDee and CrazyDum scene again and 1. Some bits of Stannis deadpan humour: "Meat's off" "There is nothing else" "Serve fish, we're on an island" (#1) "You hate fish" "I hate many others things (like you) but here we are" (#2) 2. Selyse sounded like she's jealous of Shireen.
  11. I can't see a rose, but a face: http://i.imgur.com/ZR5pB9Q.png I hate when HBO makes me care for evil bastards. Bastards!
  12. I give it an 8. I understand why the Stannis fans are mad, I like him too. But, can we wait a few more episodes? To me, I see it as D/D setting him up as a villain, so Spoiler he will rise as a hero later.
