Unknown for sure, but IMHO Stannis BELIEVES it was necessary.

as soon as Stannis gets anywhere close to where his soldiers can make a clean escape, they will. Stannis was highly unpopular even before Melisandre came into his life. Now he's lit his own daughter on fire. If he does that to his own daughter, think of what he'll do to his enemies. No one will ever follow Stannis after this.


WTF books are you reading? Most of Stannis' men-at-arms are fanatical followers of the lord of light. He sacrificed his daughter to the lord of light. Based on the previews, the weather will break and Stannis will attack Winterfell. I predict we learn the outcome of that soon.

People project their own wants, desires and sensibilities onto these fictitious characters far too often, it doesn't work that way.

My .02 is Stannis men want to live and not die in the snow. So he had a camp fire get together and said... Got to burn the offspring for us to live... And no one questioned it. His men were all lined up ready for the show.

I'm a hybrid book reader (still reading) and show watcher. I would like to thank the frequent posters for making this thread enjoyable to read.

middle ground and the crackpot will never die.

They are like Rock and Bowl and the Drowned god of the board combined.

Still, I want an inclusive thread for all of us to chat it up.
Or just let it be known that it's all clear now.

Unless..... Pycelle and Kevan live on, then there is one more spoiler left to go.

Yeah there is still stuff that the show could still find a way to put in the storyline, even if it's unlikely that they do, hodors won't like the possibility of being spoiled

Yes. I am willing to sacrifice my existence just to beat the crap out of those silly hacks.

I look at it like this. For someone to cause such a range of emotions from a piece of fiction tells us that said person is a great story teller.

We can love and hate this show that much. The universe it is set in, is outstanding.

If I ever met GRRM, I would shake his hand, and then tell ask him what does he have against the Starks?

Haven't read the entire thread, so this may have been addressed, but I see a lot of people wondering how the spears pierced Drogon. He likely isn't fully grown yet and doesn't have his mature scales, which in the books is one of the reasons Dany stays in Mereen, to let the dragons mature.

Dany pulled one out pretty easily, so I doubt they really hurt him. There are cool pics that show how big Balerion was, or was supposed to be.

I would guess Drogon is 1/4 that size maybe? He's only like 4 years old right?

Didn't Stannis already burn his uncle-in-law for treason and good sailing winds to Eastwatch?

This couldn't have been a big surprise.

The fact that the show is now spoiling the books is not going over very well with some.


They better get used to it. I have no faith in fat man finishing the next book before the next season.

Do we know when the next season comes out? Is it always almost a year, or 9 months?

If that book comes out before Christmas the sales will be incredible
