A man has many questions. A man makes too much sense.

This times a thousand, Fresh Ninja.

An interesting theory! Also the implications are incredibly tragic for Shireen. A quick point though: You mention that Melisandre knows something is up with kingsblood (which impliedly seems right). Could she be capable of getting Stannis so completely wrong? Wouldn't she know if he was illegitimate? She has been with…

Stannis for sure. Though at this point, I'm kind of down for the White Walkers to just wreck everyone's shit. Something poetic about a cold blooded fictional world being ruled by actual cold blooded rulers

That's an interesting thought. For some reason I've been working under the assumption that the Lord of Light was in direct opposition to the white walkers. Is that just a baseless assumption on my part or was that mentioned (explicitly or implicitly) in a prior episode?

I think it's a grass water type.

Whoa. Easy there. We're all just chatting about a tv show. I appreciate the response. Have a nice day.

Hopefully they all believe in the same god that allowed Jon Snow to get hit with the butt of that White Walker's weapon last episode.

The nerve of some people!

Ah yes, the twitter-verse. That distant object in the sky that I can see through my telescope! You are correct, I do not have an account. I figure if Joss Whedon can't handle Twitter than I certainly can't.

I double checked. It's only mentioned once in the footnotes. But it's there alright.

We got you covered, man. Rest easy.

*innocent child burned alive* Internet strangely does not blow up with 'did GoT go too far?' discussions. Hmmm okay, Internet. Got it. Makes sense. Just checking. le sigh.

Indeed. Just stating that it is possible. Especially when it is coming from the top down. 'Believe or Die' style.

A brief look at the history of the main religions in our world suggests that it's possible.

Just dawned on me: could this be another set up where it is perceived as BOTH the workings of Ramsay's men AND the will of the Lord of Light? I really hope not.

It was indeed cringeworthy to watch. After that display they now serve the Many-Facepalm God.

Also someone in the fighting pit did a particular spear jump attack that reminded me of a scene from Troy with Brad Pitt. Just throwing that in the cauldron.

ah very true. I guess at some point I had become convinced that she (in her own zealous way) really did believe Stannis was the key to…whatever the Lord of Light wants.

Ok you sick bastards. Save all your jokes for the Comedy Central Roast of…oh god I can't even finish the joke… Right in the feels, GoT. Right in the feels.
