Game of Thrones - series 5

[BritishHobo]

Right, fucking listen here, you.

Disappointing. I was expecting a satisfyingly grisly scene of him being flayed alive by Ramsay Bolton.

it might happen next season.

Is the next stage going to be Bargaining? Is British Hobo going to be looking into paying the producers to keep Stannis alive?

[mook]

he is deffo alive though mate - brienna got a cheeky arrow in the neck when stannis gave the "do your duty" order to one of his last remaining alive & loyal soldiers.

[Norton Canes]

Or maybe, right, she was about to whip his head off, but at the last moment thought "No... I'll take him to Winterfell for a satisfyingly grisly scene of him being flayed alive by Ramsay Bolton".

[Alberon]

AND he won't appear again in it.

Cheque's already in the post, mate.

Its possible I spose although I suspect what will happen is that Jon's asking for help will be largely ignored and instead he'll look to an alliance with the wildlings. Tormund has already been setup to be a potential ally and seems the natural person to take over from Mance as leader. Maybe notable that Jon gave Janos the task of rebuilding one of the abandoned castles on the wall, reminding the viewer they exist before potentially having him allow the wilding tribes use them? the Nightswatch owns the land below the wall so it would potentially be Jon's to give as well.

Going back to the speculation earlier about Jon, spoilered but just my guess...

Spoiler alert

I suspect that if he does turn out to be the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen it will be less about any potential claim to the throne and more about combining the two bloodlines, Starks with there Warging ability and Targaryens with there influence over Dragons and immunity to fire, maybe Jon controlling the dragons to fight the Walkers?

[Sam]

Fuck's sake not again.

[MuteBanana]

Isn't Bran going to be the one to control the dragons? He needs some excitement before he becomes that tree thing.

Don't what's going on, just seems to be quoting and posting whenever I read this thread. On smartphone view so that's probably why.

Anyway GOT is a great bunch of Knights. Started watching before Xmas and just finished s5e10 yesterday.

The scene when Stannis tells that story and hugs his daughter moved me to tears. Great performances from both. It's a testament to the show that it's so believable he'd watch her burn, that those two sides of the same man co-exist.

I love any fiction that says 'the world is shit and full of cunts'.

Peter Dinklage - is there a single second when he isn't on form? Unbelievably charismatic acting, he just improves every scene he's in.

Anyway, I'll move over to the more recent/s6 threads now I guess.

[NoSleep]

That other one's just a nest of ugly rumours. A season 6 thread has yet to blossom.

[monolith]

If Jon Snow just fucking wargs in to a dragon then that's the shittest "twist" of all time (not spoilering as it hasn't been mentioned anywhere by anyone involved with the show, was just some guy on the internet's theory).

Didn't think GOT would "jump the shark" but there's a possibility of a Dexteresque decline in quality if that's the sort of shit that's coming.
