The Time Traveling Tree Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think its quite possible that wasnt shireen who burned, and may have been someone disguised by Mel or w.e, the same way they disguised lord of bones or w.e to look like mance in the books. Unlikely, but possible. Not really sure what it would accomplish however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balerion06 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Eh, I think Shireen's a goner in the show, at least. In the books, however, I think it far more likely for Stannis and Mel to burn Gilly's baby (believing it to be Mance's) for his King's Blood, than burn Stannis' sole heir and doom his cause. Show-Shireen might have simply been combined with another character's fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killer Snark Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It wasn't Shireen. It was someone involved in the series they disguised as a young girl, who threatened to go public with the fact D and D forgot what actually happens in the 4th and 5th books.

jet199 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So burning another little girl makes it ok? This sounds like familiar reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Suburbs Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The preview showed a brief glimpse of Mel and the melting snow, so it was Shireen. :bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jugdesh258 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Not sure how even in the book that the switch between Bones and Mance occurred. Was Mance in books known to wear a full getup bone suit like the Lord of Bones. When they brought out Mance on the show I was wondering how they gonna manage to swap him out. Nonetheless some looneys said the same of Mance on show. When we see it ....why not believe it. You don't really win anything in the forum if by some odd chance that one of these 100-1 crackpot theories happens to be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShirt47 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Would be cool if it was actual Mance being burnt glamoured to look like Shireen. I know this is a pot crack'd but would be interesting. In the books it's Rattleshirt glamoured to look like Mance.In the show it's Mance glamoured to look like Shireen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tyrion Targaryen Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm not sure why everyone thinks this is so crackpot. I actually had the same thought for the following reasons.- Stannis' army is desperate (no food, freezing cold, blizzard, etc...) - Stannis' army is full of religious fanatics - An apparent "sacrifice" by their leader of his only heir and daughter who he openly loves so much would inspire his men beyond belief. While I do find it unlikely based on the other trends of the show, I can definitely see a scenario where Stannis (a military genius) put on a show of sacrificing his "daughter" in order to inspire his troops when in reality the girl who burned was just a common girl under a glamour by Mel. (Note: I don't think burning another girl makes it any less awful)Under this theory everyone wins (except for the girl that actually burned, including the book readers as it would be D&D throwing us a bone after they cut out the Mance plot line.TL;DR: Is it a far-fetched theory? Absolutely. Is it totally crackpot? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
