When Melisandre rode back into camp I literally stood up and said, "Oh, hell yes! I see how this could play out now!" In a room of three other people who hadn't read the books. They were pretty sure I'd lost it then. Which I had, because I'm normally very quiet an reserved.

Does her character get a sharp arc growth after that experience? Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #45

Gosh no. She's a POS through in through. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #46

She's with the Mountain now, so I'm guessing there is going to be a major Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #54

I hope so. Have to wait until next season or a new book...whichever comes first. (lol) Solly Mack Jun 2015 #58

I am so, so glad I had a week to prepare for it. Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #53

I know! I read the books and it was still painful to watch. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #59

We had really conjectured that JS DebJ Jun 2015 #116

I think Jon survives. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #123

Rumor on the internet is that he signed a contract for next year. Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #141

I don't think he'll be a corpse unless people think him one while he Solly Mack Jun 2015 #145

I didn't watch it, I just listened. herding cats Jun 2015 #63

I watched. I had to. I was hoping he'd warg or rise again in flames. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #65

I gave up all hope when Melisandre rode back into camp. herding cats Jun 2015 #73

I want them both to survive. But if warging keeps him alive long enough for him to be healed Solly Mack Jun 2015 #74

Yes, Ma'am! I do remember! herding cats Jun 2015 #78

I wasn't all that happy to see her but I knew she had to be there. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #79

She's an evil zealot herding cats Jun 2015 #85

I want Arya to survive as Arya and if certain meanies have to survive in exchange for that Solly Mack Jun 2015 #87

I'm 100% with you on both of them. herding cats Jun 2015 #90

GRRM knows we want the books to end a certain way. He'll cut us. I know he will. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #92

See, that's why we had to break up. He and I. herding cats Jun 2015 #95

Same as I. Both dreamer and masochist. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #96

Please, if you're sad then I'm pitiful. herding cats Jun 2015 #99

I try to get the whole series in before the next season begins. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #102

I always reread before a book herding cats Jun 2015 #108

I agree. I don't think Stannis is dead either. For the same reason. Never saw the body. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #121

I don't think he can ever become Theon again NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #135

Maybe Reek is going through his own disciplined training at becoming no one? Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #142

Interesting thought! Solly Mack Jun 2015 #147

He did identify with it. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #144

About Myrcella. I didn't forget. Just wanted to think on it. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #146

What if Myrcella being dead is what causes Cersei to lash out at Jaime and he Solly Mack Jun 2015 #163

and then he encounters NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #164

I don't know. Probably not LS in the show. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #166

That's a good speculation! herding cats Jun 2015 #173

lol That's more likely. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #177

in the books I always thought her "valonqar" would be Jamie TorchTheWitch Jun 2015 #175

I wondered about that too. Because he is younger. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #176

already a meme for it NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #80

I won't. But she still better save Jon Snow. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #82

Maybe not forgive herding cats Jun 2015 #84

God! What a horrible end. myrna minx Jun 2015 #55

Yes NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #62

GRRM is cruel to his readers. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #66

I keep wanting to write a Dear John letter to GRRM. He really deserves it. herding cats Jun 2015 #76

Heh! True though. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #77

This needs to be Twittered. Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #81

I, um, had to take a sabbatical from twitter... herding cats Jun 2015 #86

I don't think he has any intentions of completing his books. DebJ Jun 2015 #118

He wont' be the first painfully slow author I've followed who passed before finishing. herding cats Jun 2015 #126

So everyone is in suspense. myrna minx Jun 2015 #137

In the books NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #139

Mmm hmm. herding cats Jun 2015 #75

I can only imagine what a long 4 y ears that has been. myrna minx Jun 2015 #138

Damn. They're going to have to really expand the Westeros Memorial Cemetary after this episode. charlie and algernon Jun 2015 #57

Stannis still got off too easy. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #67

I predict: Brienne did NOT kill Stannis. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #68

it's possible NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #69

Well, makes sense. We didn't see the sword fall. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #71

Kit Harington - "I'm not coming back" NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #70

Well, Jon Snow might be dead but AA isn't. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #72

If this isn't BS then my theories are shot! herding cats Jun 2015 #83

Can't you just hear the collective "WTF!" now? Solly Mack Jun 2015 #88

Hear it, I'm uttering it at this moment. herding cats Jun 2015 #91

LOL! NewJeffCT gave me a major sad with his link. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #94

It's the not knowing. All these years of not knowing. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #100

I love the concept! herding cats Jun 2015 #105

He probably gets a good laugh from comments like ours. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #106

Sadly, you're most likely right. herding cats Jun 2015 #109

It does take its toll. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #114

I am really pissed off! MuseRider Jun 2015 #89

I just can't believe Jon Snow's story is done yet. TDale313 Jun 2015 #97

If Jon Snow is really dead, then there really is no good ending Yavin4 Jun 2015 #151

not sure what will happen NewJeffCT Jun 2015 #152

Guess I'll add a thought for Selyse Baratheon. Solly Mack Jun 2015 #93

You should never leave white space below your posts. Baitball Blogger Jun 2015 #149

NewJeffCT, I need your help on this. There are some major holes in the TV show's narrative. Yavin4 Jun 2015 #153
