The paedophile is Jorah.He's in love with Dany, but way older than her. Also Meryn Trant.
Dany is old enough.

Meryn Trant needs to be castrated. Did you see how scared that little girl look? sad

No doubt many folks will not agree with you, but you are spot on: the directors lost it on Stannis.

This twist in the character of Stannis is uncalled for. He has now lost his protagonistic ambience in the hearts of the audience.

Regardless of what the plot is, this "radicalisation" of Stannis is unnecessary. We are now indirectly forced to support the "sick" Ramsay Bolton in the forthcoming battle of Winterfell.

Protagonist? "Forced to support"? And I thought you were a true GoT fan.

A show has no protagonists.

A man supports no one.

A man may live, or a man may die. It is all the same to the many-faced god.

But if a man can, he may choose to say to the god of death: Not today.

This is known. This only is known.

Off course why not Klalessi is too weak for that throne. In life (thix present world/reality), men have sacrificed "anything" for their goalz/ambitionz/power...& what Stannis did is justified as far as 'm concerned

You are missing it entirely.

Stannis did not agree to burn his beloved daughter because of "ambition"; he did it because he believed he was Azor Ahai - no thanks to the Red Witch, of course) - and a true Azor Ahai is bound to make harsh decisions for the sake of humanity. You and I know that he really isn't the true Azor Ahai, but Stannis doesn't know that! He is convinced that this is what he has to do to stay alive, win Winterfell, defeat his enemies and remain strong enough to fight the White Walkers and save humanity. I think it is actually the recent portrayal of "Stannis that loves his daughter" that made it worse for y'all - the Stannis that we geeks know has little love in his heart; he didn't hold Dragonstone out of stubbornness or whatever, he did it because Robert, his brother and liege lord, commanded him to. That man LOVES his duty! Same reason he agreed to kill his own brother - Renly committed treason by trying to usurp him, and the penalty for treason is death.

Remember that the first Azor Ahai actually killed his own beloved wife before he could forge the sword that defeated the cold darkness. Now imagine you were Stannis and the burden of being the new Azor Ahai fell to you - erroneous as the thinking is, but bear with me - and you are already A MAN WHO WILL DO HIS DUTY, NO MATTER HOW DISTASTEFUL.... See?

Now this quote sums up who Stannis is in the show and why he did what he did. Even the resolute look on his face and his muttering to his deranged wife that she (shireen) is king's blood are the actions of a man who would do his duty and get his ambition no matter the cost.

I never liked Stannis from day 1 it was only in this season that I got to see another side of him, as a father, but thanks to the writers all sentiments are gone now. May the best man win Winterfell and the North.

Next episode will be cray cray. I predict trouble at the Night's watch. The tension from this last episode was palpable. Cersei might just get what's been coming to her since season 1...and I suspect that little finger would still pull a hat trick that would shock us all....as for Sansa...im hoping Reek becomes Theon long enough to rescue that girl.

Stannis is officially the bastard!

Poor shireen, such innocent, sweet soul. I literally shed tears for her, what a painful way to die cry

And If I were standing by her mother, I would have dashed her two thunderous slap, one to serve as her wake-up call and the other as a reminder never to betray her child angry
Lil wonder stannis sent ser davos to castle black for supplies, he knew davos would rather die than watch them kill the princess.

Melisandre, Melisandre, all these people you've been sacrificing, your time will surely come and I pray it be by stannis hands for not succeeding in the battle for the iron throne despite all these sacrifices you've made you witch! angry

That said, thank God sam wasn't poisoned afterall cheesy

So when ramsey asked for a hundred men, this was what he had in mind? Bleh, I was expecting a battle between him and stannis after his arrogant speech.

Jeez, I was scared for jon right there, I saw the scary look on his face as well. He didn't know what to expect despite being lord commander...the welcome he received by allister and the rest of the brothers, was like they were all ready for a fight, I held my breath and heaved a sigh of relief when he said, 'open the gate'...I wished allister would bring down his pride and be allies with jon, they'd be perfect working as a team.

Arya, this girl I like! What exactly does she even say while she hawks...Oysters what and what? I like the way she says it Lool
But wait a min, that bottle given to her by the faceless god, was she meant to poison the thin man to death? But for what reason Hmm

I think now that she knows trant loves lil girl with that mouth of his like 'too old', she's gonna put herself in that situation in order to have him killed. Be careful Arya.

And then Dany, I enjoyed watching daario argue with that mereen dude (don't even know his name), glad he's dead - next time he should learn how to fight while learning eloquence, loool, now no competition for daario anymore, they (him and dany) should both hit it and give us a targ heir already.

Nice scene with the dragon as well - now that name, mother of dragons is finally befitting, thot the dragon was gonna be speared to death too - these sons of harpy got guts, I give them that... and good one for ser jorah...tyrion, I was looking for him when the battle started, thot he was hiding his lil self, lool

Ep9 not bad really.


A girl has many words on her lips.

A girl must know that debts must be payed and The One who tortures, tortures without mercy.

A minute, an hour, a month. Death is certain. The time is not.

As for the ends justify the means. Most use it as an excuse to achieve their goals through any means necessary, no matter how immoral, illegal or unpleasant the means may be. What the expression usually means is something like “It doesn’t matter how you get what you want as long as you get it.” Some people believe it. Dont mean its right. Stannis himself said, "A good act does not wash out the bad , nor a bad act the good . Each should have its own reward." The “ends justifying the means” usually involves doing something wrong to achieve a positive end and justifying the wrongdoing by pointing to a good outcome.
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by LeonStark: 2:17pm On Jun 09, 2015
The ends/means dilemma is a popular scenario in ethics discussions. Usually, the question goes something like this: “If you could save the world by killing someone, would you do it?” If the answer is “yes,” then a morally right outcome justifies the use of immoral means to achieve it. But there are three different things to consider in such a situation: the morality of the action, the morality of the outcome, and the morality of the person performing the action. In this situation, the action (murder) is clearly immoral and so is the murderer. But saving the world is a good and moral outcome. Or is it? What kind of world is being saved if murderers are allowed to decide when and if murder is justified and then go free? Or does the murderer face punishment for his crime in the world that he has saved? And would the world that was saved be justified in taking the life of the one who had just saved them?And by the way Stannis is not ambitious.

There is no justifying immoral behavior, no matter the motivation for it or the outcome of it. While that may be the only course of action he can necessarily take(which it was not) that does not mean it was justified.

I'll hate to see such talent of his die but I'll choose Jon over him any day grin

Lool poor jorah, I sympathise with him tho ... I guess he just wants to die by her side, fighting and protecting her - not a bad one.

Yeah I love Daraio and want him for khaleesi, he's got balls.

Jorah wants to tap dat booty but just doesn't know how to go about it. He's not just interested in dying for nothing like you think...even Viscerys said it b4when Jorah stopped him from stealing Daenerys dragon eggs. Tyrion also confirmed it dat Jorah loves Daenerys. He just doesn't know how to make Daenerys love her back.

But Daario on the other hand is a Kokomaster! He knows how to pull Daenerys strings anyday...Jorah is just the typical loverboy who ends up used by a woman and dumped eventually. Imagine he even had to sell slaves to marry a rich woman which got him banished and d woman ended up in d arms of another man. Ser Jorah is meek dan Reek.

Only the royal house practices that for females . And females CAN inherit, not only in Dorne, but tbhe other kingdoms if there's no male heir apparent. There are lots of them. As for females cant inherit the throne, its true, but the line can be furthered down from her, and she may jave a male child, who would then be the heir. Tywin would die without a capable heir because Cersei isnt, he disowned Jaime and he won't let Tyrion.

Jamie is in the kings guard, that's why he can't inherit. Tywin was trying to get him to leave but he wouldn't.

How is this any worse than the siege of Storm's End. Stannis and his men were down to eating boots. Boots. Until Davos rescued them.

Then, there was no Melisandre and this time, Davos can't do anything. Their problem then was food. This time, it's food and the weather. Davos doesn't have that kind of power, Melisandre claims she has a way out. We just have to see if she is right.

Unless Selyse dies, he can't, only the Targs practiced polygamy.

Lol. Is there any law against polygamy in Westeros? Am sure Stannis will find a way. He is a "wise" man and has obviously thought this through.

ClaytonSuggs:


It is. Stannis lays claim to the throne not because he is ambitious and will do anything to be king, but because it's his duty to robert and to the realm. Part of that duty is to provide an heir to the Baratheon line on the throne. Now why would he burn his only child and heir. Mel's magic works alright, but Stannis, no. The case with Renly was different

What are you saying? You are talking as if Stannis is impotent. He will make another heir.

I just read your post again.

How is being stranded in the middle of nowhere by the weather and lack of supplies not worse than anything? The siege was man made, the weather is nature (you can't do anything about it).

They are stranded with less fewer men, lack of supplies and the weather. So, yeah. This situation is worse.

Polygamy can be defined as a marriage which includes more than two partners. In Westeros for the highborn and the lowborn marriage is chiefly between two people, a man and a woman. The Faith of the Seven does not permit polygamy. The Targs were allowed to practice it because they were foreigners, same as thier incestual relationships. You're sure he'll find a way, like he didnt do with Shireen ?

No. They died, but didn't kill their children themselves.

Besides I'm more worried about the way Stannis is portrayed and less about Shireen's death (loved her though but I'm already used to seeing my fav characters die). This is not the Stannis we know, so now I understand why TheNed said a character would do something so unlike himself.
The writers are mad. Period.


Why can't you guys just enjoy the show...must d show follow d books Day by day y'all just continue making people uninterested in d books. We don't care about the books...we love d show.

Sword and spears are for fighting wars. when they are in formation, they do better. But are crap 1 on 1. When they formed a formation around Dany, they actually fought better. But the sons of Harpy are like an army too.

Will the food fall out of the sky ? The supplies ? That's not the solution.

You think it can't? They bring the dead back to life.... they kill kings with shadows... but you think it's impossible for food to fall from the sky?
