The King Of Cooked Steak Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So, Brienne in this episode supposedly killed Stannis with Oathkeeper... or did she? See, one thing this show never does, is kill characters off-screen, unless they lack the budget or time. In this case, they lacked neither... So, could our beloved One True King (who burned his daughter at the stake) have been spared by Brienne in order to complete her goal in saving Sansa Stark? I mean think about, unless they assassinated Brienne's character too, she wouldn't have left Sansa alone to fend for herself, and completely given up her holy oath, for her own hunger for vengeance. Plus, Stannis tells her to "do her duty" and her duty is: save Sansa Stark. So, could she have let him live, in order to help her save her? What do you guys think? This whole off screen death perplexes me. They never do that. Especially for a major character like Stannis Baratheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ghost of Someone Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think Stannis is dead, if he is alive, he is dead as he is imobile and eventually the Bolton pawn soldiers would pick the field for clothing and weapons and he would not have gotten away. Stannis is gone, loose end tied up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ben Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 He lives, she stays her hand when she sees Sansa jump. The book never kills people offscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Bazunor the Twisted Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Love Stannis, even Show!Stannis which this board is being notoriously crybaby about.He is dead. No way did she not kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Pie Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Let's say Brienne did not kill him... what's the point of keeping him alive now? He's lost everything. And by everything I mean Every. Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Mad Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 He lives, she stays her hand when she sees Sansa jump. The book never kills people offscreen. Something like this. If Stannis was dead they would not have missed the opportunity to show a bloody beheading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan the Man Baratheon Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 He's dead, Jim. Its hard to digest, but aye Jimbo he is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Cornholio! Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah. I'm not sure why they made his death ambiguous. She could have hit the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy1 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Something like this. If Stannis was dead they would not have missed the opportunity to show a bloody beheading. I think they avoided showing his death because they wanted to give the character some respect. It wasn't an appropriate time for gratuitous violence.

Howling Mad Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Davos lived which means he is stili available to be sent on a mission to find Rickon. Since Wyman Manderly is AWOL who could possibly be available next season to send Davos on such a mission? Lady Sansa and Lord Theon of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
