Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Brutal episode.
Incest, incest rape, plain ol rape, child exploitation, child abuse, child sacrifice, child murder, and that atonement walk was still the most unsettling scene in the show for me. Even the real life logistics of the scene, which had to include 100's if not 1000s of people on set, is amazing to think about. Just brutal. In keeping true with the show though, they manage to make you feel for a deplorable character by making you hate another group even more. Great stuff all the way around last night. What's next GoT? Ghost turned out by the Thenns now that Snow is dead? |

Melisandre always says kings blood shows her things. Maybe she saw something with Snow when they burned Shireen and went back realizing if she helps him that is the true person to be backing.

Highly suspect that these are the words destined to be carved into your tombstone one day.
Anyway, yeah, me and the Mrs. were none too pleased to see Jon bleeding out on the ground. As soon as they called for him, I felt sure it was a death sentence trap. I really do hope that others are right in Melisandre bringing him back. Have to figure time is a factor on her ability to bring him back, heck, I dunno. No idea what happens with Arya now. I found her travels lately to be boring, but it was satisfying to watch her kill that SOB. Damn shame Drogon couldn't get his ass up to get Danys the **** outta the middle of nowhere. I don't remember exactly why the Dothraki would turn against her. Guess without daddy badass, they lost respect. I still like her more than most, so I hate the thought of her getting raped and brutalized.. though her nudity is always a plus. Myrcella dying (assume she will) is the only time a Lannister falls that doesn't make me smile. At least it will further crush Cersei. I like what reek did and is doing for Sansa, but no matter what, he can not atone for his crimes. BRING BACK JON SNOW !!!!

The books are somewhat ahead of the show in King's Landing. There are some events post-Cercei's walk that occur. Note, importantly, that in the books Varys is NOT with Tyrion. Instead he is operating from the shadows in King's Landing, having gone missing immediately after Tywin's death.

I can't promise a good and happy outcome. I serious cannot. But I will say this -- it's almost certainly NOT as bleak as it currently appears.

I supposed they could make a change to how everything turns out as well but I don't think that is their plan. edit: And when I say he has it written out it is more of an outline than having it all written out.

When Myrcella was poisoned, this is the line I was thinking of -- "We don't hurt little girls in Dorne..."
What's the rest of that sentence? "Unless they are at least 100 feet offshore"? "Until they turn of legal age, and then, BOOM!"?

I am curious if they are working on their own still. You notice he wasn't sitting there in his cart afterwards.

Good question. I thought that "nod" between the Prince and whatshername was the signal, but perhaps it was more a "play nice" nod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btDlu-zraWA P.S. Isn't the Prince of Dorne on that same ship? In killing Myrcella, they pretty much sentenced him to death also if so. Seems politically stupid, and therefore more likely to indicate that you are right -- these are the idiotic Sand Snakes doing what they do).
