Thanks for clearing that up, TF. So Selyse was cheating all this while... Poor Stannis.
PS It DOES bug me a bit though... It wouldn't have been so hard to give her a wig, no?

Dammit, I knew it would be Gendry, I knew it. I don't think they'll do the dirty though. What would be the point? There are no more shadow babies.
Edit: Plus, that scene is way to similar to what they used in S2 with Stannis. It won't work, Gendry or someone else will stop it, in my opinion, and this could trigger the whole blood sacrifice idea for later in the season.

On second though, Gendry seems to be more into it than I expected. "I want to be on the side that fights for the living".
I'm puzzled. If they make a shadow-baby, who will they target? Balon? Stannis hasn't even mentioned Balon so far in the previews, he only mentiones Robb and Joffrey. Oh well, it could work, I suppose, but then they'd loose an important part of Euron's storyline.

I have a feeling my namesake won't be there to defend it. So I think instead of Donal the show writers might use an established character to be in charge of the wall after Lord Mormont...but who?
The only man in an upper rank that I can remember is Aliser Thorne. But that might complicate things, if he dies fighting a giant, who will Jon have to make an example of in front of Stannis?
OR yes, Aliser becomes the wall defender that dies and leaves Jon in charge, then Janos Slynt shows up and he can be the one that clashes with Jon. It could work since he was the one that betrayed Jon's father.
Any thoughts?

I like this theory a lot, DNA! But I think that the first attack on the Wall will be changed somehow, now that Tormund is apparently taking Styr's place - was it Styr who led the attack in the books?
I'm not expecting two major battles at the Wall, although Mance's attack soon becomes more of a trench war. I think it's possible they will synchronize them somehow, so that the Wall will be attacked both from the South and from the North. Ser Allister working with Jon to defend it works like a charm, me thinks.
Oh those are some of the memories I wish they had put in GOT, but I'm sure they will put it in eventually. Just dunno how as after season 1 the only person that knows what happened is Howland Reed, someone we haven't even met in the books yet.
Yes several of us have wondered what they are going to do when that happens, stop the series, do a prequel series about Robert's Rebellion or just continue going ahead of the books. I would certainly like to read the books first. TWOW is the Winds of Winter.
is not the daddy.
