I hope Davos gives it to Melisandre shortly on account of Shireen. She looked mighty surprised to walk out of her tent and find fires lighting up the camp like "hey that's mine you can't use that"

I wonder who that leaves as the heir to Storm's End. I guess it'd be Tommen and Myrcella as they're officially Baratheons? Legitimise Gendry!
While we're on the subject of Myrcella, lol at Jaime's reaction to Myrcella's dress.
Bad greenscreen&camera work ruined the Drogon+Daeny reunion for me, so I'm basically ready for the WW army to just kill everyone. Except maybe Samwise, I mean Samwell, Gilly, & Sam. I hate everyone in around or near Stannis. Even Davos, because he didn't swoop in at the last second to save her. Up till now I thought Mel was maybe deluded, fireblind, something a little off but reasonably off, endsjustifythemeans kind of off, but this was revolting. If Sansa doesn't get to stab someone in the eye or genitals next week to make up for this bulltrout I might just stop caring.
Did you guys think this was a good natured, unicorns and rainbows kind of show? Because that's how it's sounding.
Really, though, I agree that the Unsullied are complete bulltrout. They are trained soldiers and being ripped apart by random nobles who have paid people to fight for them their entire lives. Smurf that. Other than that, I have no issues with the narrative. Bad things happen. It causes drama. And helps you choose characters you DO and DON'T like. And, after today, I guess less people will like Stannis.
That's basically what we're doing. People in this thread needs to stop with the "Did you think blah blah blah" every time we react as, well, normal people would watching something horrible happen. Because if we just accepted it and move on then that meant the writing became subpar.Originally Posted by FFIX Choco Boy
Yeah, like, bad things happen... but what's the point in having the bad things if you don't react to them? If the audience reacts to a child being burned to death in the same way as if she'd stubbed her toe then the writers may as well have her stub her toe. Being shocked and angry is part of the fun.
This was WAY worse than some post marital rape...
Firstly, on that scene in the fighting arena...
.
Also, while I did not expect Shireen to actually burn, it actually makes sense in the narrative, as much as it pains me to say it (because Shireen was an angel!). Stannis has been sort of built up for us to quasi-support him. Saving the Night Watch, his interactions with Jon... that scene with Shireen. Stannis might not have been perfect, but he had a limit.
I think the showrunners just really wanted to prove to us that there are no good characters. Stannis will do whatever it takes to get past the snow to assault Winterfell. My only gripe about it is that it does undo that intimate scene he had with her, about not giving up on her and her greyscale. Curse that Melisandre!
Also talking about Greyscale... Didn't just Jorah infect Dany? He touched her with his bare hand after all... Or are only infected areas contagious?
Am I the only one who wanted Stannis to make the sacrifice? I mean he already tried taking Kings Landing without the help of The Lord of Light and look how that turned out.
They all would have starved and died if he didn't. What's one girl to a kingdom!
I can't believe I've been reading all these people calling him worse then Roose/Ramsay?! Seriously.
They could have gone back to Castle Black like Davos suggested, but no, obviously the only way was to burn a little kid.
Also, burning her doesn't help with the hunger problem. Unless they eat her after...
They didn't have enough food to get back to Castle Black, unless he just sent his family. Which still would of left him and his men to die.They could have gone back to Castle Black like Davos suggested, but no, obviously the only way was to burn a little kid.

Don't you have any faith in the lord of light!? I have to imagine there hunger problem will be over next ep, or the snow will atleast subside. Kings Blood/The Lord of Light are one of the few things in the show that actually seems to have real power
I bet they're cursing the fact they didn't ask any local Thenns while they were back at Castle Black for cooking advice.
No.
