any of you man ever post in other ASOIAF/GOT threads?

if so, do others take the set-stanning as far as we do? do they make as many references to the 95 source awards as we do?

I just mean specifically Shireen being burned to resurrect Jon doesn't seem likely to me anymore.

Jon will be alive at the end. It is known.

Gotcha.

I know this was supposedly GRRM's idea but doubt it goes down like this in the books. Its already logistically implausible with Stannis being in Winterfell and Shireen being at the wall. Also doubt GRRM would "spoil" this for readers, Shireen may die/get burned but don't think it will be Stannis' doing.

Fukk you thought it was?

I think in the book things become dire for Stannis and he sees his daughter as Nissa Nissa. The ultimate sacrifice. He orders her sacrifice.

It will probably be more incognito than the show, and Stannis will probably not be present, but I think he sends the command.

Davos has always been the moral compass for Stannis during his time as hand. The acts that people like about Stannis usually involve Davos, even the rescue at the Wall.

We also have to re-open the dialogue about R'hllor being the Great Other.

Maybe the Last Hero/PTWP are different than AA, and it may be a good thing.

i think it'd be more that TGO is actually not such a bad guy

or is equally terrible, and humans are just caught in between. after all these houses' wars and campaigns against each other, turns out THEY'RE the smallfolk who take the brunt of it all when HDOR/ice dragons/TGO/Winter/whatever the fukk is out there goes to war with an evil fire god from Asshai
