No damn way they kill Stannis this season! freakout Dillane has just been so good. And he has the BEST scenes so far. I mean c'mon! NOT NOW! I can't believe they'd do it. Sansa to the Wall? What would she do there? I'd rather Stannis makes her Warden of the North to be honest. The North needs a Stark and Jon doesn't want it, Rickon is lost, Bran is a tree, Arya in Braavos. So Sansa is perfect. However, something makes little sense. Stannis knows where the real battle is. So I don't think he'll be going further south than Moat Cailin or WF if he gets the North behind him. This is all so confusing.

Heroin actually, but I still think my outlandish predictions are possible

Dany's is not outlandish. At least not from where I am standing. But Stannis?! Are you kidding me? total crackpot. Not this season.

Well Don, it looks like the dragon thing might happen. I see the 9 th ep is called Dance with dragons. Who knows...

It is a given that Drogon will come in and kick ass, the question is what happens next? In the POOKS it was sooooo stupid that Tyrion gets to Meereen and literlally seconds later Dany flies out with Drogon, its like GRRM is delaying story momentum on purpose.

Toward the end of the season, Dany will ride off on Drogon.
It is known.

Whether she meets the Khalasar, or not, who knows.

 I think that if she rides off in E9, then she'll definitely meet the khalassar in E10, but it'll be interesting to see how the show will re-introduce the dothraki, with no recognizable figure left.

That wasn't in the books, right? I can't remember...

Why is the Dothraki Horde even needed? She already has a large army of Unsullied and slaves. Not to mention Dorne is going to be on her side. It's just a way up wasting more time before she gets to Westeros.

 That's what I'd like to happen.  I can see them showing Dany flying over the Dothraki Sea and seeing the Horde below, but from there I don't know.  I can't put together how they're going to get from the end of Daznak's to Dany heading for Westeros (especially given it seems like there won't be a Battle of Meereen, unless they push it to season 6).  I'm not even sure we'll get the Dothraki.

Oh shit you guys. What if they kill EVERYONE off in Meereen? Grey Worm, Missandei and even Daario are dead, well no need to ever revisit Meereen again. Unless they have Tyrion hang there with the second Sons and do God knows what?

Hell I am outta ideas.

Missandei dead?! When, how? But Dany cannot have everyone dead in her entourage before returning to Westeros Daario might even make it to KL. Jorah on the other hand... (see what I did there? hand- greyscale )

I hope Jorah gets greyscale. Unlike many, I don't like him, and I never have. He's already proven he'll do what he has to to get what he wants and tends to fall into desperation mode all too easily. Desperate people do stupid things, and as desperate as he is for Dany's love (um, get a grip, Jorah, you stand no chance with her), who knows what he'll do to try and win it, even if it is detrimental to Dany.

They have set up the stone men and greyscale a lot, I hope they look cool. I quite liked that chapter in THE POOKS.

 Book Jorah is infinitely more sexy than show Jorah.

I'm so glad Jorah is getting greyscale. But I guess my bae Jon Connington is not going to be around.

Walda had so many lines! I'm thrilled.

I liked the episode. I loved the Winterfell scenes.

I liked the episode, quick impressions:

Dany delivering brutal justice, but Dany if you feed them human meat how will they EVER stop eating people?
Jon and TORMUND! Great scene, loved to see Tormund again.

Stannis: "Fewer." Bwahahha great callback to season 2, Stannis the grammar Nazi.

Oddly the Winterfell scenes did not work for me for the sole reason that Sansa was mopey and rolling her eyes the whole time. Maybe that makes sense tho, if she were cheery and happy around the Boltons they would know right away she was full of shit. Loved the kennel scene tho, very tense and only at the end I remembered that Theon slept there.

Aww Missandei and Grey worm, you go you crazy kids...you will probably still die soon tho.

GREAT scene in Valyria, very nice to finally see it on screen, and the stone men, very creepy. Loved the VERY LONG black screen after Tyrion went in the drink, very nice direction. But damn, does greyscale spread so fast? I guess it make sense since Stone Men are probably the most virulent state of the disease. But damn poor Jorah his days are numbered.

Also, all the feels in the world for Maester Aemon when he was talking about Dany. it's like he's talking about how he really wants to meet her. Way to honor the spirit of the book!

I don't think favorably of his prospects therefore.

Man, Sam better not be going to Oldtown. That was probably the lamest part of Feast. There's already too many damn story lines as it is.

Hazdir was the one that tried to poison Dany in the pooks, so it would make sense if he were one of the conspirators.

In my minds eye I always imagined The Doom to look kinda like Mordor, I loved the show's interpretation better, making it look calm, but ominous and eerie.

Anyone else thought the show was gonna cut to credits after it went black when Tyrion was under water? That would've been a perfect troll moment.

Ya'll think Tyrion and Jorah will get picked up by slavers on their way to Meereen still?

RE:  Kill the Boy Episode - Loved how Maester Aemon is taking Jon Snow under his wing.  Thought it was because he knows something few others know and last night, THaaaaaat's a BIngo!!! A lone Targaryen lost and alone in this world - reference to Dany or Jon Snow? Loved it.  Then, just like the mad king cooks the Starks, here she comes having her babies devour her own "people".  Love old Volantis, btw.

YES! highfive Ly that "a lone Targaryen lost in the world" and there Jon Snow enters the room! They are setting up R+L strong. It's like the dam just broke. The Wall is still as strong as ever. Stannis interacting with Sam was a treat. Just like his observation of "fewer" at the NW gathering Don nailed it. I told Arthur EXACTLY that when I saw it: "grammar nazi"!!!!!!!!freakout

Jon Snow's decision making is quite awesome to witness. He tried the "proud" speech on Tormund like he did on Mance with better results because: no kneeling, and it worked. Tormund's though a shrewd fox, he'll have Jon Snow give his word directly to the wildings. Now all we need to see is Hardhome. I love this storyline with the power of 1000 suns.

The truth is they did really good in paralleling the fathers/children these last eps. Before we had more Tywin/Cersei/Tyrion/Jaime but now we are getting Stannis/ Shireen, Roose/ Ramsey in very close succession. I loved that. I will make the rest very short:

Roose and Ramsey know how to throw a dinner party.
Fat Walda will have an accident.
OMG The Targaryen in that Dany!
Drogon likes Valyria!

And: Well, shit... Jorah you're dead.

And for the gentleman who's not watching the series: Greyscale is important!!!! See, that's what happens when you are not paying attention to book clues!

EDIT: Forgot about the march to WF! That was quick. A couple of eps and the Baratheons are on the move.

And Stany took Shireen, Mel and his wife with him. I wonder what happens with Selyse?!? That image of her in the snow... Maybe it is after the battle of ICE? Stannis does have a battle somewhere in the North. We all assumed she would be left at the Wall and that's where the image is from, but apparently not.

This Ep was so boring, even Dany feeding her dragons felt boring, meh. I give it a 5/10.

Liked Staniis, but then again his and the Northern storylines are the few good thing in the later pooks!

My favorite part was Tyrion and Jorah's Valyrian Bugaloo, funny that.

and Nym, i guess your curse worked! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW???

i don't much care about Jorah though.

So what will happen to Stannis? Will there actually be a Winterfell battle or will the show end where the pooks ends, with Stannis stuck in the Wintery muck?

I have a bad feeling D & D are going to make Brienne kill Stannis and then have him brought back to life by some sacrificial means.

Well unless Thoros of Myr is around a bush somewhere, no one will get revived. Back in season 3, Melly was completely flabbergasted that Thoros was able to revive peeps. It is not a trick she knows.
