I disagree. There are few unambiguously good guys or villains in this world. Ned Stark was good guy (would he have stayed a good guy?), Brienne I think is pretty unambiguously "good" so far, Ramsay Bolton is pure evil.
Stannis believed himself to be on the good side and other "good" people did, too—though with some…

If everyone else is dead and Gendry does something heroic, I do think they'll let him have it. Less so here but the books frequently point out that the Targaryans (sp) made themselves the rulers and so did Robert Baratheon.

On the other hand, she doesn't have a lot left…

Nah, too short.

Gendry! Gendry and Arya take the throne, the dark horse power couple, and Dany dies valiantly saving the West from White Walkers.

Labels are so 20th century anyway, she can be alive-fluid. :)

"Alive" might be a bit generous.

That's part of what would make it fun!

Right, I think she did do it and we just didn't see it.

What's bothering me is, How is he going to muderize a zombie? Fire? That'd be satisfyingly ironic but unlikely for the character.

I looked at the map again. They are literally across the continent from each other. Poo. If he really is in Volantis; I just saw random boobs everywhere so am not convinced and I really want this to happen.

I just said the same thing. Dang it, I need to finish threads first!

Could be a show way of keeping Brienne a good guy in our eyes, a psychological trick. If we don't actually see her executing Stannis then that image isn't with us whenever we look at her and she seems less bloody than she is.
It's a theory. Stannis did some (massively) messed up stuff but he was basically one of the…

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it but I picked it up from an author, maybe David Eddings or Terry Pratchett.

Oh my god. I didn't realize. I was going to watch that this week on movie night, too.

I don't know, she looked pretty freaked out. If that was the plan, I don't think it was her plan. Maybe the Waif's really in her side?

No, remember how they were falling apart and going bad in the last book? They lost that noble purpose we loved.

Howland Reed.
I am committed to the Reeds being bigger players and they always back the Starks.

Howland Reed or Robin Arryn?

It did come across as very 12 step-y, which is fine but not dramatic or plotfully impactful
