it's brilliant how we Stannis fans get reality a little twisted for our Great King and Hero.. i mean in our minds his arrival happened thus: Mance and his Wildlings had ALL the crows on the North side of the Wall, bound and gagged and on their knees (all lined up). Mance raised his arm and the Wildlings standing over the men of the Nights Watch raised their Axes above their heads. Tormund raised the Horn to his lips and Jon realized that with one Toot the Wall would come crashing down. 5 Million Wildlings and 7 million White walkers were seconds away from crossing over and wiping out Westeros and the Realm of men. Just when Mance is about to drop his arm and give the Signal... STANNIS, STANNIS, STANNIS... That's why we were so pissed he didnt turn up!! The reality that Jon and Mance were chatting in the tent about this 'n' that and then STANNIS STANNIS STANNIS... doesn't really compute. I really am a Stannis lover and want to be his squire and STANNIS STANNIS STANNIS was one of my 'feel good moments' but D&D have the right of it. I loved the episode and it was very well done! Bravo to all involved
