Hmmm could be, at least would have been able to escape death by klanging into his dire-wolf (or whatever that term is). Reek and Sansa aren't dead IMO.

Stannis had it coming, and I think it seems obvious that Daenerys is about to acquire herself a brand new army.

I'm not entirely convinced that Stannis is the one who died in that scene.

people were apparently angry they used a body double, those people need to grow the fuck up.

Who cares they used a body double ffs!

This is great, cheers. Glad I can finally start indulging in stuff like this now that the show is overtaking the books. Jon is far too important a character to just kill like that really, some nice speculations there about what could happen.

Brienne hasn't really done much other than make vows she hasn't been able to keep up until now though, would be a bit pointless to kill her off - she's not a minor enough character for that to make sense imo? Seems like she should have more purpose than that. Stannis on the other hand has had a lot of action and failure and has now sunk as low as it's possible to go and then failed some more - it's time for him to die because he's useless and shit. So either she killed him there or she changed her mind at the last second and he'll have a chance to (somewhat) redeem himself maybe?

Those ALT Shift X videos are pretty impressive

I've only just realised they recast that character from watching those Youtube vids. Things make a lot more sense now, lol

Given this shows' habit of breaking expectations it's not safe to assume things in terms of characters' purpose or the story's overall direction. At this point it'd be safer to predict something on the basis that it doesn't make sense.

So Brienne killed Stannis just before a branch fell from the tree, hit her on the head and now she has amnesia. All she has left is the vague sense of purpose of avenging stannis (who she killed, but doesn't remember).

That was in the back of my mind while typing to be honest, but at the end of the day this is still a story and it has to have some kind of a point(!). Otherwise George may as well just say 'fuck it' and end up killing everyone in really stupid unexpected ways that make no narrative sense but it just happens anyway and then be all 'hey guys lol I spent all this time building the world and you all got really sucked into it but actually it was all completely pointless just like Lost was, bye!' I'd like to think he's spent so long on this, maneuvering characters about and adding subtle hints and references all over the place that he actually knows what he's doing. We're coming towards the end now so things need to start coming into focus, no? If not then honestly fuck this shit. We'll see next year I guess

its basically all just boiling down to daeny vs the white walkers as far as i can see. i can feasibly imagine her uniting the seven kingdoms to then have one last mega battle with the white walkers. shes basically the only ruler that isnt a complete evil cunt. and shes got dragons.

also it's a song of ICE and FIRE lol

If that were the case honestly why devote so much time and effort to building up a world and showing the intricate workings of everything that's not directly related to the white walkers and Daeny then? He could have covered that story with one book, why spend more than 20 years working on this thing and fleshing it out as much as he has? It doesn't make sense for the ending to be that straight forward. Her story hasn't even been the most interesting so far so it would be a bit weird to suddenly lurch that way and make her the point of everything. Bring on the resurrected Jon Snow with fiery sword, badass warg skillz from Bran and some face changing revenge carnage from Arya! Next couple of seasons are going to be awesome, I can feel it deep down in my balls

its called storytelling. not everything that ever happens is relevant to some larger plot.

You're not relevant to some larger plot

But.. does it? does it really have to? The books were inspired by historic events after all... does history have a point? do all events come to a meaningful conclusion?, is it not randomness the most important actor after all?

So, Jon is dead, Stannis is dead, Sansa and Reek are dead, Arya is blind forever, Cercei will rule westeros for a thousand years, Tyrion will die of alcohol poisoning, Dany will be a Dothraki slave for the rest of her life and the white walkers will never be able to cross the wall.

some miserable cunt in an e3 twitch stream chat spoiled the finale ending for me. godfuckingdamnit.

I heard it on a college radio station from some typically ditzy likely stoned luna lovegood sounding gal. It was my bad, I could of changed the station for longer to be on the safe side

haven't facepalmed so hard for ages. pretty much everything involving those spaniard bitches is just so hilariously cringe-worthy and awfully acted.

but magic boobs

I was pretty upset at oberyn but he died in a voluntary duel and from his own cockiness, so the whole revenge plot irked me quite a bit...

that said I would not want to leave Dorne, weather looks nice and it's a far way from any other bullshit going on

From what i understand the visions are not bullshit but she is just not doing an accurate job of interpreting them.

man thats like the #1 excuse of visonaires

also, I'm wondering too if she is simply ditching Stannis and has new plans

That part was fucking brutal, and I say this as someone who was relishing in her suffering earlier. The whole religious fanatic plot-line has perhaps been the most damning allegory to the horrors of human history GOT has presented, which considering all of the other nasty stuff is saying a lot.
