Davos knew it too; that's why he tried to take Shireen with him to Castle Black. When Stannis refused, Davos knew what was up. I'm a little surprised he didn't just kidnap her.
I agree with this. And I also know that this entire story is prolly going to go to Daenerys in the end. All the other cool stories are just filler for her eventual victory and living messiah ending. I don't enjoy her story at all. I may be one of the rare ones but I find myself rolling my eyes every time that section of story come on screen.
The Night's Watch will not get involved in any of the wars of the kings. They protect the wall, and a much larger fight is upon them. Stannis knows this and mislead Davos into thinking he was "commanding" help. He was merely ridding his camp of the only person willing to stand up to Stannis and the red witch. Davos wouldn't have allowed him to burn his daughter, hell he even didn't allow him to burn the bastard.
Just me oris Tyrion pretty much fucked at this point?
I guess in GoT universe, dragon skin is as weak as any animal's hide.
Do we think Jaqen H'ghar knew Arya was lying? My guess is yes, but maybe now Arya is an excellent liar after all of her training?
KT
im surprised that aria didn't tell the faceless man about the kingsguard.
I would have thought she'd trusted him enuf?
It's pretty telling that stashed Needle and her other stuff is stashed out there. They didn't show us that for no reason. It has been clear from the beginning that she will fail to give up her past including her grudges. Perhaps that is part of the test: Being convincing enough to be faceless DESPITE not having given it all up.or Jaqen is posing as the thin man as a test for arya.
or even more, Jaqen knew that kingsguard was coming and using the thin man disguise to see how she does.
Remember when Joffrey had Ned Stark, the one true noble King and certain to be the winner of the Game of Thrones, killed after saying he wouldn't?
We were OUTRAGED!
Little did we know....!
Let's talk about Lord Tyrell.
Totally different persona. He seemed kind of timid and out of place in Kings Landing. Yet here in Bravos, talking to the Iron bank, he is very confident. He assertively classifies them as gamblers, and when challenged, holds frame... "you are the BEST gamblers"
He also seems quite pleased that High Garden is doing quite well economically. Let's not forget their clout. The Lannisport gold mines are dry, and the crown needs more money... Tyrells could literally be buying their way to the throne via debt.
But, why is he here when his Daughter(grand daughter?) sits in a cell beneath the red keep? Wouldn't you think he would head to KL, or is he just gonna let Oleana Tyrell handle that?
Aw Stannis... fuck man... why dosent anything ever go right for you?!?
Lost daughter :'(
It's so weird going back and watching a season 1 episode, back when the show was chock full of characters we all liked. Now it's battles and endless fighting amongst parties we all despise, and we must choose the "lesser of two (sometimes 3) evils" to hope to win.
I agree with this. And I also know that this entire story is prolly going to go to Daenerys in the end. All the other cool stories are just filler for her eventual victory and living messiah ending.

I was kind of hoping Stannis's daughter would have stood in the flames and not been burned. I don't full understand greyscale disease but I thought she had part dragon in her and that's what gave here those scales on her face. This season cleared up that confusion though.
Davos knew it too; that's why he tried to take Shireen with him to Castle Black. When Stannis refused, Davos knew what was up. I'm a little surprised he didn't just kidnap her.
He didn't "lose" his daughter, he killed her. There's a subtle, but important, difference. You don't get to play the "oh woe is me" card when you intentionally burn your offspring alive.
Why the long face Stannis?
I lost my daughter this weekend.
Shit, I'm sorry. Did the greyscale finally do her in?
No, I burned her alive.
.... What?
Yeah, torched her at the stake. Made her mother watch.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Yeah, it's been pretty hard.
Did you consider NOT burning her alive?
Yeah, but what are you gonna do? If you want to serve as the King nobody wants, you've got to be willing to go to lengths that nobody supports.
Fine killed, but it had to be done. Stannis has to sit on the throne, hes the only man for the job. Ill miss Shireen, but it was the only way.
Stannis realizes that 1 life to save many is a good trade. This just shows how hardcore and fair the guy is, giving his own daughter for the good of the realm. He will be remembered as the most glorious and fair king to ever sit on the iron throne. A true champion and hero of the people.
The real question is: how many spears the the hearts of a girl's enemies does one have to land before one can leave the friend zone?
But, why is he here when his Daughter(grand daughter?) sits in a cell beneath the red keep? Wouldn't you think he would head to KL, or is he just gonna let Oleana Tyrell handle that?
I thought it was pretty clear that the only reason Drogon was down there getting speared was because he was waiting for Danny to climb on. She had to see him getting speared to figure that out.
