Game of Thrones Season 5

[BLADE]

I've been hate-watching the show this last season because it is legitimately that terrible but even by the dynamics of the show that they set up that scene makes no sense.

Right?!?

Spoiler: *sigh* spoilers

It wasn't even half a season ago that Stannis and Shireen shared one of the most heartwarming scenes of the show. Somehow we've got from this

to that piece of shit we just saw.

When the night is dark and full of terrors... look to this clip:

Spoiler: Spoilers

I'd follow Mantis Baratheon anywhere.

 

[BLADE]

Stannis the Mantis.

"Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that."

 

[Shiuzu]

And here I thought Strep Throat was going to be the low point of my day. Good thing Game of Thrones is there for me.

 

[BLADE]

Hopefully Brienne kills Show!Stannis.

I thought about rooting for the Boltons but the whole Sansa rape thing precludes me from doing so. A shame. "The Roose is Loose!" is a great battle-cry.

I guess I'm on Team White Walker?

Don't worry, DnD is rooting for the Boltons so you don't have to.

Spoiler: Ramsay

>LE TWENTY GOOD MEN IS ALL I NEED TO TAKE DOWN STANNIS
>I CAN FIGHT 50 IRONBORN SHIRTLESS AND WITH TWO DAGGERS, INCLUDING YARA, LIKE A CHARACTER OUT OF A TERRIBLE FANTASY VIDEOGAME.
>NOT EVEN LITTLEFINGER WITH ALL HIS SPIES KNOWS MY TRUE NATURE :).

>MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE FLAYIN' OF THE CAMP
>WE WASHED OURSELVES IN STANNIS BLOOD AND HIS CRIMSON TRAMP
>RAMSAY'S TAKING OUT THE STAG MACHINE CAMP BY CAMP BY CAMP
>THE BASTAAARD MARCHES ON

 

[BLADE]

According to Reddit

Spoiler: Ramsay's plan AKA Westeros' Kitchen

He takes his couple of men and hits Stannis in the supply train... which... makes no sense. Hence why they're all starving and why Stannis sends Davos --who is conveniently not here to save our favorite would-be superintendent of King's Landing School District-- back to the Wall... for reasons.

The show wants you to dislike Stannis now and the Boltons so Littlefinger looks better when he rides in with the knights of the Vale.

Yes, Littlefinger. Everyone's favourite,

Yeah, in all seriousness, I was thinking that as well, and they'll probably also reveal that LF knew about how terrible Ramsay was and that it was a test for Sansa or something. I'm hoping she resents him after that and that she begins planning against him for real, leading to an eventual "now I am the master" moment where she beats LF at his own game and kills him, but that probably won't happen.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

[BLADE]

The good thing about Show!Stannis compared to Littlefinger and essentially everyone else (all the character assassination DnD pulled aside) was that he was very low-key compared to all of these lurid and rather absurd archetypes. The show's gotten increasingly pulpy and shlocky (and in a bad way) since Season 3 and Stannis was a great way to counterbalance that.

Basically...

"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE. IT WAS SAID YOU WOULD BURN RAMSAY. NOT BURN HER!"

Also too Dorne (and no spoilers because you deserve to be disappointed if you care about Dorne):

Apparently all that happens is Trystane (the dood Myrcella is macking on) is sent with her to King's Landing to be on the Small Council... and Doran Martell has no plan. That's not a paraphrase. The guy flat out admits he has no plan.

Why even include it?

Seriously.

Brandon, don't try to make me laugh, this isn't the time for smiles....also because laughing really hurts right now.

Spoiler: Spoiler(y) Theories of Ep 10 From Reddit

With episode 9 leaked already there is only one more episode to guess. Can we guess the plot to episode 10? Here are my ideas based on what we've seen so far. Here are my ideas, I feel they have a 9/10 chance of being correct:
Stannis brings his army to Winterfell. He is no match for a shirtless Ramsey Snow who solos Stannis' army armed only with a fruit knife.
In Braavos, Arya finally kills Meryn Trant. "No, Arya!" he says as he reveals himself to have been Syrio all along. He dies in her arms.
In Meereen, Jorah finally makes it back to Dany's side. "Oh Jorah, I have been a fool!" she says. "NOW I can finally kill you!" Jorah says and kills her.
In Dorne, Jamie gets Myrcella back and then says "NOW I can finally kill you" and kills her‏ and replaces her with Bronn‏.
At the Wall, the Watch try to assassinate Jon Snow, but Jon ducks and they kill each other instead.
Then Jamie gets back to King's Landing‏ and the High Sparrow tells him he has had Cersei arrested. "Yes my plan is now complete" says Jamie and he makes out with the High Sparrow and they have sex.
The final shot of the season‏ is Littlefinger atop the iron throne‏ raping Ser Pounce‏.

 

[BLADE]

Basic Shakespeare parallels dictate a Brienne v. Stannis showdown at this point.

Think about it.

- Listens to creepy witch
- Does so to win throne
- Employs means which he morally questions and which the audience knows to be wrong
- Cannot be killed by man of woman born

Boom.

That last part was simply uncalled for.

That's how DnD rolls. All shock value, with substance only happening once every now and again.
