Quote:I never understood Stannis fans, really. He's murdered his own brother in cold blood, he would have murdered a number of nephews as well if he could have gotten his hands on them. I don't understand the people who think episode 9 is a departure from his character. Seems right in line with his story arc to me.
I think I might be dead inside, lots of people think that scene crossed a line but I didn't really feel anything, maybe it's because I don't have kids
I'm not sure what the point of summoning another vagina monster is for Stannis in this situation, when he summoned one to kill Renly that was to eliminate someone else who had a claim to the throne, this current stand-off between Stannis' army and the Bolton's is just about military strength, killing one person won't swing the tide in their favour will it?
Quote:I'm VERY anxious to see Davos's response when he returns. Now there is a noble man, more complex than he seems. I hope he ditches Stannis is goes of to join Danny after this.
Davos is done imo, I think his purpose to the story was to illustrate Stannis' descent into madness - well now we know Stannis has crossed the line into crazy town and can't come back. Although on second thought maybe Davos could go to the wall, that seems like the sort of noble cause he could get behind
Quote:Poor Arya, unable to let go of her past. I don't think she'll make it as a faceless (wo)man. I wonder where her story will go now?
Did Jaqen(?) recognise Arya was lying to him when she got back to the house of black and white? If so why is he letting her lie to him? Or maybe he just didn't have his whacking stick handy at that time
Quote:The final scene with Dany...just epic. One of the best episodes ever for me. I feel like the show is really advancing the story. I'm so excited to see episode 10! And then a whole year before more episodes!! ~cry~ I can't figure out how this season went by so quickly.
I think Dany has to die, as much as I love her. A faithful and satisfying conclusion to the series would involve Dany failing to "break the wheel" imo - and in the Game of Thrones you win, or you die
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
