Stannis and her are not married..

I knew his wife couldn't bear him a son, but I meant more that he and Red chick are sort of together. Married or not is pretty irrelevant to the point I was making.

t's kinda hard to explain but she's almost like an advisor to him and she's with the gods or whatever.

this is how I see it- apparently, arranged marriages for the sake of consolidating power takes precedent over anything when it comes to these noble houses. So, I'm guessing ole Stannis got forced into something with some skank he doesnt give two shits about. Not to mention, he seems like a cold-hearted mofo, so I'm not very surprised if he doesnt give a frick about the honor of marriage. Not to mention, his other brother was a world-class whore monger, and his younger brother preferred tube steak over puff sushi...perhaps marriage vows dont have much of a place a place in his family.

so, Stannis could easily have locked his wife up in a tower as he goes about life, and then there was the part that she couldnt give him a son (or something like that?).....so, she's doubly useless to him

and now he's faced with this hot red-head hooker who promises him power and a son if he jumps religions. At this point, it doesnt seem as if he gives a frick on whether he's openly cheating on his old lady or not. She's just a means to an end for him....with a nice set of tits. Like Tony Soprano, you got your wife, and then you have your piece of arse...two separate chicks

Yeah, she's at least incapable of having a baby, so I assume she's back home where Stannis is from, possibly dying too.

I've been lurking this board for days and the is the most momentum we've gained toward actually discussing the show. It's really not that hard to do, so let's keep it up.

Also wanted to say I was SHOCKED at Jaime losing his hand- literally gasped out loud. I'd be willing to bet Tywin is devastated when he hears about it and it affects their relationship. The Lannisters are falling apart.

Well, the Red Lady said Stannis' wife "couldn't give him what he wanted" and then told him she would give him a son.

And then he impregnated her and she gave birth to a smoke monster baby, soo...

re-watching this.....

noticed (a) she needs "kings blood" & (b) for a sacrifice

this could go one of a 1000 different directions.....what constitutes king's blood?

Baratheon? that would be slim pickings as Arya's padna is the only one I can think of that's still alive

Targareon? I think dragon tits is the only one left

or Lannister? take your pick

ETA: or Starks??

so is she going to sacrifice someone so Stannis can get his Westero-viagra & drop another seed in her so she can birth another smokey? or an actual kid this time?

This brings up a lot or interesting things that I think people are kinda just glossing over and worried about if Jaime is right handed or not.

Stop critiquing the other posters and just add whatever you have to add.

Thanks Stu, I'm glad I could help get this thread going in some kind of direction.

On King's blood:

I don't know/remember enough about the history of Westeros to be able to figure out who the "true king" is.

1. It's definitely not Joffry who is a pure Lannister, this shouldn't be on the throne.

2. Robert took the throne from the Targaryans, so would Baratheon blood be "kingly?"

2a. Obviously, since she is with Stannis in the first place. If she believes Stannis to be the rightful king by blood, she would have to eliminate other rivals, "blood rivals." That's why I think it's Arya's pal.

3. I think this eliminates the Targaryans. Their way far away and not involved.

This is obviously based on a few things. Firstly, if the Red Witch knows about Arya's friend's existence and his real father which only Ned and the kid knew, right?

I knew about Jamie and it still shocked me.

The chair scene was awesome.

I caught this the first time around but want to rewatch it. She said something about him not being strong enough and she needed someone to sacrifice to him him strength.

Renly must have been the first sacrifice but she fricked stannis before sending the cuntmonster.

Hopefully she fricks up that little blonde nitwit king.

Finally watched off the DVR and all I can say is wow at the ending... The Kingslayer lost his hand!! Played the "daddy" card once too often...sucks cause all he had to do was be quiet after saving Brienne. Im gonna watch it agan tonight but here are my thoughts on whats upcoming:


* No way Daenerys gives up one of her dragons. I think once the "Unsullied" become loyal to her, she will have them detroy the city and take back the 3rd dragon. She didnt take it too kindly the news about the babies being killed and the slaves being punished.

* I think Brienne suddenly will feel guilty seeing that Jaime lost his hand. She didnt kill the guy who ended up ratting them out to the "Flayed Men".

* Not sure whats going to happen to Theon...I see him eventually turning on his father and sister since I they ultimately disapporoved of his sacking of Winterfell and he will not get honor for it

* Sam is gonna kill Craster ...he knows what Craster will do the infant boy, but Jeor knows as well about Craster, so that will make things interesting

* So The King Behind the Wall has given his orders. I think someway Jon Snow convinces the Crows to lay down their weappons and joing the Wildlings...I think its either that or be killed, especially with the White Walkers on the move

....the scene with "The Hound" was puzzling to me. What the heck happened that I missed to have him greeted with open arms last episoode and chanined up in the next?


...also wondering what Tyrion will do now that he knows Little Fingers secret and that the crown is basically broke. Will he notify the creditors? His family seemingly has turned their back on him and mock him openly

Interesting that
