that was a nice jumpcut
ramsay = "evil" for picking off wounded, straggling soldiers.
brienne = "good" yet is executing an immobilized and badly wounded stannis.
getting real tired of brienne's shit personally.

i would rather ramsay kill me on the field, than take me home and torture me :P
brienne is dumb. she has no legal authority to sentence stannis to death. and she swore an oath to find the stark kids, not to kill stannis. i think the wording used by stannis was huge, "do your duty". Brienne's "duty" is not to kill stannis.

I'd vote on him being alive too. Very few instances in GoT have they not shown the details of a kill. Feels like there was a purpose to making it ambiguous otherwise we would have seen his head roll.

i stand by my OP in this thread. Stannis will be the 1000th commander of the nights watch. hes not dead. theres no way they kill stannis without showing it. although, Stannis was also suppose to get his hands on theon (more kings blood) as per the books.

It’s been a bumpy journey, but the season has ended with many of the key characters where they were (or appeared headed) in the books. A lot of progress packed into the last 3 episodes. If Martin can’t sort out his writing constipation, next season will be a free-for-all.

The storyline of Jon’s assassination is troublesome in-show. And, the lines tossed our way from Thorne, Jon, and Sam do little more than foreshadow his death. If the events of Hardhome do not scare the brothers of NW straight, then they themselves are on shaky ground in protecting the realms of men. This is Harry Potter quality story-telling to me. I was also bothered by the timing of decision to send Sam to Oldtown. This had to be done BEFORE the threat of the Others was understood, because the wall could fall before he even reaches the Citadel. And… no Ghost. I much prefer the warging theory to the Mel resurrection.

Of course, a similar beef could be had with the books. The NW has been ignored by the realms of men for decades, and given the growing threat of the Others, they have to do something different. Forming alliances is one of the few, if only, avenues. I really respected the Jon character for this, but the brothers are blind to it. The NW has needed a proper house-cleaning for some time, and its coming. Perhaps that is the point.

Stannis effectively committed suicide. The storytellers/narrators misled us about him being a great military commander -- out-flanked and out-fought by Tyrion and Ramsay. What a letdown. But they never told us he was intelligent, savvy, or emotionally strong. Wonder what the Iron Bank took as collateral?? What are the odds that Brienne spared him?

I don’t find Cersei’s shame walk all that humiliating. What does she care about small folks’ opinions of her? I will say, that was a whole lot of full frontal from a lead actress.

Guess we’re going to get that war between Dorne and King’s Landing. This makes Doran look like an idiot. I vote for a 1:1 between Cersei and Ellaria – none of this “champion” stuff.

That was a hellacious jump for Sansa and Theon. Where do they go once they dig themselves out of the snow bank??

If you find yourself having some fantasy/magic withdrawal, the BBC has launched Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. The book was very interesting, and the BBC did a good job with the first episode.

i think book 6 will be out shortly before season 6. i agree with everything u just said about Jon and the NW. im not writing stannis off as a bad military mind until i read the battle in book 6. i have a feeling HBO mucked it up. i think the odds are high that brienne spared him. hes a broken, beaten, unarmed, and possibly dying old man. i really dont see how someone like Brienne could see that as honorable, or as her "duty".

you didnt see Cersei nude. Lena Headey was visibly preggers during part of the filming of Season 5. they CGI'd her face on a body double. google it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They will try to burn jon as is the ritual and he will not burn. You cannot burn the Dragon.

actually, you absolutely can. just look at Aegon V, or Aerion Targaryen

The actor portraying Jon said the character is dead in an interview . Yet he is still on location filming.

Fire priestess wasn't shown strolling back to castle black for no reason at all. Gonna rub them ginger titties on some snow and warm him right up.

the character is dead because death changes people, even if rezzed he wouldnt be exactly the same man. Beric was different after each rezz, and Lady Stoneheart was nothing at all like Catelyn after hers.

Jon will be reborn as amongst salt (from the tears of the NW) and smoke (from the blood on the snow) as Azor Azai.

I thought only certain Targaryen's got the fire proof trait. Sort of like how Danerys was fire proof but her brother wasn't. Or am I wrong on that?

[LoliPops]

i am rustled about the body double
was really impressed at what I thought was Lena Headey's hot body
