That's surprising, it would've been out of character for book Stannis too. Minor gripe, I don't really give a shit about Stannis. But that's a good point that maybe they wanted to make sure we knew who he was becoming.

That was just very, very gloomy. For some reason, this season felt more gloomy to me than the others.

Haha, I forgot about that line. It makes even less sense after him saying that.

I never posted a photo of a golden hand. I think that was @slave2thewage .

The arena scene reminded me a lot of Attack of the Clones.

Out of character? The man had his own brother killed ffs...if anything, this only makes his character clearer. Ambitious, ruthless man with only one goal in mind. Willing to step on anyone and anything. Like he's been doing from the very beginning.

Drogon is a boss.

Drogon is a Ukrainian Ironbelly.
bastard from blue city
not to mention he was at a desperate impasse after the random fire thing.
you knew it'd get awful after her scene with Davos.
Hierba Gatera
That random fire thing really irked me. Melisandre gave Davos and Stannis so much shit for not taking her along when they attacked King's Landing. "I wasn't there when the wildfire killed our men by the thousands. I could have saved those men." So, why didn't she save the hundred or so that died because of Ramsey's fires? PLOT FLAW.
Also, does Dany now have Greyscale? Is it only contagious if you touch the affected areas of another person? Isn't Jorah being just as traitorous by not revealing that he has it?

tempus est umbra in mente
I don't know if it's a plot flaw as much as it presents the possibility that Mellisandre is maybe full of shit. In the books they mentioned that she does some gimmicky slight of hand magic to impress people and get them to become believers.
Billy Howerdel fanboy
They infer numerous times on the show that she uses slight of hand to impress people.
Hierba Gatera
She actually admits it herself. I'd forgotten about that. But using slight of hand is one thing. She stated point blank that she could have saved men during Blackwater Bay. And as I'm typing this, I'm realizing that it's fucking Melisandre we're talking about and yeah... Never mind.

I think we can all agree they did wrong by Davos' character in this episode. He knew what was going to happen to Shireen and yet he did nothing. He didn't even know Gendry and he saved him from Melisandre.
Hierba Gatera
I don't think he believed Stannis would ever go through with it. I really don't. He got duped just liked me. Fucking asshole Stannis.
Billy Howerdel fanboy
My assumption was you could only contact Greyscale by touching the affected area.
i'm too thin
Slight of hand? Doesn't she summon smoke demons and shit?

I don't know about series Melisandre but I'm 2/3 through A Clash of Kings and book Melisandre definitely "gave birth to" killer shadows.
Renly and ser Cortnay Penrose would have a thing or two to say about that. Davos too, by the way.
Maybe she is a one-trick pony but that one trick is so impressive that Stannis will believe everything she says. Or he is so desperate that he'll try anything.

I think there are some legit things she can do, like the shadow baby, but she also uses a lot of cheap tricks to get people to believe. She's just not as powerful as she lets on. Pretty sure this lord of light isn't going to mean dick in the end game.

Spoiler: end game...everyone dies.

Excited for the finale tomorrow. Apparently the "previous on" leaked and it features some characters that haven't been on the show since S1.
Administrator
Yeah, the finale leaked a couple of days ago and screen grabs have been floating around.
BACKROLLS?!
That was A+ trolling with the Previously On and the ending.
Active Member
Well, I liked the episode. Lots of loose ends; things that may not be as they appear. But IF they are...well, quite honestly, my interest is pretty much gone. If 90% of the things I was interested in are now moot, then frankly, I'm just feeling a bit apathetic.
For me, there's absolutely no sense of "I can't believe I have to wait a year for the next season" right now. It's more like "well...okay, I'll probably watch it when it returns, but whatever."
Trollhunter
It feels a bit like they'll bring this one back. I know the show's reputation and all, but it feels like that's not the end. Blood melting snow and all. Plus Melissandre. It might be wishful thinking.

House Baratheon is dead.
Also, the makeup department must have used Dermablend by the tubes to cover Lena's tattoos.
Hierba Gatera
Not quite.
Joe Blasco. It's the shit.
