saw an interview with the actor that plays stannis basically talking shit about the show (story here: http://winteriscoming.net/2016/03/16...me-of-thrones/), so im pretty certain they killed him off for reals
I think you're right. And, they knew Stannis was unlikely to make it to Martin's ASOIAF finish line. But, it was an extremely poor use of the Stannis character and storyline. I'm still so upset about it i'm standing beside myself.

I'm glad they are using s6 to use some book 4/5 storylines they skipped, but I'm really coming around to the idea that the show and books will be different stories with similar/same ending now.

For me, this is confirmation Stannis wanted off the show and had a say in it. He declined all GoT press and refused to work with the suits.

No speculation required.

I find it hard to believe GRRM will kill off Roose this way. We're talking about a Doran Martell level schemer getting bested by his sociopathic son whom he's perfectly aware is sociopathic.

ToJ? Yay! They fucked up Arthur Dayne? Typical D&D.

I can't help thinking Dillane would have embraced the part more if not for D&D's tinkering. Thanks for that link because it's wonderful insight into the actor. It makes complete sense that he killed so many scenes given his stature as an actor. What a waste of one of the best things on the biggest television series in history.

Sorely misused talent.

Sucks D&D couldn't make it work with him, although I am not surprised. The clout Spillane has is just way over D&D's depths. This probably caused additional friction.

it really is too bad. i was always a fan of Stannis, and they just never did him justice.

surely, but are you just never going to be in the same room as him? planning and plotting aside, if i jump over a table at you with a knife, i dont care how good you are at scheming, you better be good in a knife fight.
and IF roose gets got by ramsay, thats really the only type of way i can see it happening. a situation where Roose never sees it coming.

So I'm going to make a second attempt tonight and be a supernerd, each word will go down on paper. I'm on cooldown. Burned out on it pretty good last night before bed when I made that post, I was in a haze.

Also left-handed, so there's that. Can't trust left handers.

Apparently at one point, D&D were passionate about the books.

How the times change..
