So Jon Snow is dead??? What's the bloody point of watching anymore.....Glad I didn't waste my time reading past book 3 now....assuming he is dead.....
Well, this scene was definitely expected.
However, he is spilling a lot of King's blood there. And Melisandre is near by. Or maybe ghost will somehow save him. I don't expect this is the last we'll see of his character.
Stannis has always annoyed me, so that was no real loss for me. And I don't know how he could possibly of expected his troops to support him after they watched him burn his own daughter at the stake. I could see them possibly overlooking the murder of his adult brother that was fighting him for the throne (if it were common knowledge that he killed Renly), but burning an innocent child? His own daughter? Who wants to support someone like that? If he sees his own daughter as that expendable, why would anyone trust their own lives fight for his cause? Needless to say, I was saddened more by the loss of Shireen than Stannis.
I loved Arya's scenes, as always. And I'm was so happy when Theon-Reek shoved what's her name off the walk way. I'm curious to see where they end up next season.
I am kind of hoping that there's a way Myrcella will survive. Maybe Bron happens to have the antidote? Not likely, but I'd still like to see it. Things will certainly get interesting when they get back to Kings Landing either way. I think my favorite twist would be if someone (perhaps the girl that's always taunting Bron) perhaps knew and decided to swap out the antidote that Nymeria Sand had, so she winds up dead and there's an antidote on hand for Myrcella. Unlikely, but I would love that.Will have to see what happens NEXT YEAR! *sigh*
We also don't know for sure that the Dothraki surrounding Dany were hostile.
I quite liked the episode. I expected Arya's, Jon's and Cersei's storyline to go how they did. And the others were a nice surprise (even if we might lose some characters).
