Yes! But especially if the eye is ice blue.

So, what do you think the first scene of next season looks like?

Right — seems like she'll stay to "win" in Mereen first. I'm hoping Varys shows up to add some class to her regime. Also, Drogon will likely get the other two dragons in line, so she'll have real dragon power at her disposal for the first time in a while.

Yes, if the LOL is "real" and Melissandre really represents him/it/etc, having Stannis or someone in his camp kill her could be really interesting.

Ugh — Littlefinger! Still hoping he dies a terrible, memorable death by the end.

Jon - king
Tyrion - hand
Tormund - war
Davos - ships
Sam - maester
??? - coin

Yes, especially when the 20 greatest killers from the Iron Islands a couple seasons ago accomplished fuck all.

Jacquen's "a man is puzzled" face seemed to me to indicate that he knows something's up, but not exactly what's up.

Yep. I bet the next episode ends with Littlefinger riding unopposed into Winterfell, just as Sansa steps away from Ramsay's corpse with the knife in her hand. "Oh there you are! Right where I left you." Cut to black and more creepy music.

After this, I could see Mrs. Stannis being the one to kill Melissandre.

Ooh! If Jacquen ends up being the thin man or something, that will be cool.

Jon/Sam/Davos/Tormund would be a treat.

Ew. Unfortunate avatar/comment synergy.

Or Ramsay shows up right after the sacrifice and murders everyone.

The A.V. Club: the only thing that Littlefinger loves more than chaos

Wow — those DVD extras are awesome. How have I gone five seasons of the show without seeing that? HBO should have it playing on a loop. Thanks for the link!

I had this conversation with someone else here last week or the week before. I want it to happen — it's a really intriguing issue to me, and something I haven't seen done in fiction, or done on TV in a way that wasn't awful (cf. Lost, BSG.) It seems like if any show was ever primed and willing to go up a level to deal…

Yeah, I like that interpretation, and it would completely bypass the question/plot issue of what he was doing in Westeros. If the hall of faces or masks is like a library that any of the Faceless Men can use at will, then the Jaquen she's seeing in the temple now could even be different people (although I doubt that's…

You're more than welcome — so nice to hear that one of my jokes finally landed! Thanks for your thoughtful responses to all my wide-eyed blathering.

GRRM, during book pitch meeting: So see, there's this mile-high wall that keeps out the ice zombies…
Editor: But George, why wouldn't the zombies just freeze the ocean and walk around the wall? Or why wouldn't the people just dig a big moat?
GRRM: Fuck you! The Wall is cool! Trust me, the nerds will love it!
Ed.: OK
