The Red Lady and her shadow demon killed him. Even then, they were at war.

Because Stannis did not kill Renly. The demon shadow did

Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegal.

There's been a lot of foreshadowing that they'll recognize a secret Targaryen. Or maybe reveal someone as not a Targaryen, though if Aegon is a Blackfyre like most of us seem to think, it does seem like they would have the same affinity for that blood.

I think he is. He lost Blackwater despite having a huge advantage in it. I don't see Stannis' arc ending well for him, and he is cursed as a kinslayer.

Will the lost dragons from the Dance of Dragons show up later in the series? If I recall, there are two unaccounted for: Sheepstealer and Cannibal.

Not sure. If alive, they would be really old.

The Princess and The Queen showed the dragons will let all manner of people ride them.

Then there is also the way they handled Bloodraven, who apparently lives in the brightest cave in the universe. I can understand what it would have taken to create a very book like Bloodraven but that goes back to the light in the cave. They could have shrouded him in black and not shown any of him except one bright red eye, leaving the audience asking, "whoa, what and who was that!" Leaving them time for the next season to build the makeup and effects to get a good looking Bloodraven. Instead it was Gandalf in Obi-wan's clothes sitting under a tree.

this would've been much better. Glad they finally introduced him, but he just looked like some bro chilling out in the roots.

Stannis...such a . This is my favorite quote from him:

"I defeated your uncle Victarion and his Iron Fleet off Fair Isle, the first time your father crowned himself. I held Storm's End against the power of the Reach for a year, and took Dragonstone from the Targaryens. I smashed Mance Rayder at the Wall, though he had twenty times my numbers. Tell me, turncloak, what battles has the Bastard of Bolton ever won that I should fear him?"

Here's a question and plot point that really has my brain pondering. Stannis got the backing of the Iron Bank and he sent Justin Massey with the banker and told him to return with at least 20,000 sellswords regardless if he is dead. The latter would involve him crowning Shireen. 20,000 men at this stage in Westeroes could do some damage, just look at how pieces of a 10,000 Golden Company is threatening the throne.

Where do you guys think this comes into play in the end game??

Rereading the first book. In a Jon POV, Jon is talking to Benjen about the wall. He mentions that Daeran Targaryen took Dorne at 15 and was a hero of his. Benjens retorts that Daeran also died at 18.

What age is Jon when the Watch stabs him? Just thought this was an interesting parallel.


ETA: Just got the symbolism of the dire wolf dead with the stag's antler in its throat. Catelyn is a dumbass.

ETAA: Why is Benjen at the wall? Any good crackpot theories about that?

Benjen is probably at the Wall because he learned of Jon's parentage and felt guilty about knowing where Lyanna was with Rhaegar. Or he just didn't want to play second fiddle to Ned.
