ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

It's definitely only on his wrist, but we really don't know the specifics of how it's transferred / how long it incubates before its contagious, etc. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the friends I watch it with think I'm an idiot and believe there's about a 0% chance that she got greyscale. I just thought it was interesting...
Who knows.

Surely it's transmitted through direct skin on skin contact -- much like Cooties. Highly contagious. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, if I recall... the Targaryens might have a natural immunity to Greyscale. I think I remember reading that somewhere.

Look to your sins Lady Sidelle, for the night is dark and full of terrors.

Team Night's King all day.

Been a while since I've been in this thread.

#1- Stannis has seen previously unimaginable powers from Melisandre. He is living in a world of prophecy, terrors in the night coming to sweep away all life, blah blah blah. If he truly believes that his options are to sacrifice one innocent child or let all of the innocent children, plus everybody else, die...well, not sacrificing Shireen would be the monstrous choice.

#2- It really annoys me when people say Sansa was raped. Stop it. Willingly getting banged by a dude you don't like is not being raped.

#3- It is kind of frustrating that this season has shown that so many book storylines are, apparently, completely irrelevant to the outcome of the story.

Personally I think GRRM is going to go from one of the most popular writers to the most infamous and hated by the time this is all done.

Old writers are going to tell their kiddie writers "Don't be like George"

Not so much because of the show direction but just the way he is handling his writing (or not handling it)

I get that he is enjoying his fame and money and hookers etc...but as a writer he has a duty to finish what he started, and I don't see him giving two shits about the books now that he made it big.

It's dementia/senility. He's incapable of finishing the series.

I think the show has provided a sketchy connection between Stannis' actions and his belief he is Azor Ahai (much like the bandaid they stuck on the Daenerys/Tyrion/Varys plot hole). This makes Stannis look insane in additon to being an asshat. He may indeed be both in the end, but they could have propped that up better. In the end, he's swapped his soul for a throne he will not sit upon. I could very well see him taking the black.

One of the things that bothered me in-book and in-show is the sin of kinslaying. An abomination to the old Gods and the new Gods. So what, are we going to have to wait until a kinslayer dies for the pay-off? Until then, its snarky insults? Really?

I still do not understand what's going on in Dorne and how it fits with books. Anybody got this sorted out? And, what's up with the Ellaria/Jamie scene? She hitting on him, or luring him?

So Hizdahr was not a harpy... Who are the harpies? X-slaves? Btw, my iphone auto-corrects harpies to herpes. Ha!

I was a bit under-whelmed by the fighting pit scene. Anybody notice the spectators running to and fro in the stands after the harpies attacked? I found myself laughing at something where scene tension begged otherwise.

I also felt disappointed that Ramsay's raid was smash hit. Stannis is supposed to be a great military commander. Davos certainly seems capable. Yet, a sneak attack yields 20 devastating fires being set simultaneously. So, Ramsay > Stannis = poor writing.

I'm bitching here... my other complaint was Jon's return. He just witnessed the awesome power of the Night's King, but they don't show us his reveal to the Night's Watch, thus we don't see any depth to their denial. Those mean stares look ridiculous.

I was wondering this too, but I noticed a look of satisfaction on Melisandre's face as tents and horses burned from the Ramsay raid. Did she foresee it coming in her flames? and ensured it's success? so Stannis would be forced to react, ala sacrificing his daughter. Just a thought.

I actually believe Ser Davos knew or feared something was going to happen to Shireen.

--He tried to push back on Stannis, and allowed Stannis to give him that piss poor excuse of why Davos had to go as opposed to a messenger

--Davos' gift to Shireen and the endearing scene between the two

--Davos knew. In his heart of hearts, he knew what was going to happen.

I truly hope not, but I fear Davos is a slave to Stannis and nothing will become (by way of Davos) of Stannis' actions. If I'm correct, Davos goes down to one of my least liked characters...

he had to have at least highly suspected. watching him do all the things you mentioned, i felt like he knew, and i wasnt even 100% certain til it had happened. Davos probably left thinking there was no way on earth that Stannis could ever do such a thing to Shireen.

this red bitch claims that she could have saved the day at blackwater with all the wildfire. but you going to try to tell me that shes met her match against a few small concentrated non-wildfire fires? again, great original writing D&D.
