I think we can all agree that Littlefinger should be King because you can't win the Game of Thrones by being squeezed out of a lucky vagina.

Stannis owns, but if he was ever king, Littlefinger would scheme a way to kill his dumb rear end in about 2 weeks.

Ginette Reno posted:Stannis is super rigid about law and duty but he does have some adaptability to him. Show smarts and ability and he'll give you a position of merit. Stannis made a friggin' smuggler into his hand because he recognized Davos' intelligence and worth. I mean, if you wanna ignore the fact that even Stannis felt really iffy about it, calls it murder, and refuses to talk to Davos about it, sure. But Renly could have easily killed Stannis, but didn't, because killing family is hosed up even in Westeros. Sure, Renly would've beaten him, but kill him? No way. And Stannis also killed his brother in law for not converting, and violated Gendry's guest right. He's a dick, and would make a pretty bad king. But hey, like him all you want, I guess. Even as he sacrifices a little girl to a blood god. His letter about the kids was pretty great, to be sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty much declaring myself Team Stannis from here on out, unless Daenerys pulls her head out of her rear end or Tyrion somehow gets into a position of power. Do we know for sure that it was Stannis that killed Renly? I know the spirit looked like him, but as far as I remember it was the smoky monster from LOST coming out of Melisandre's vagina that actually did the deed. I figured it just looked like Stannis because he, also, did the deed.  Either way, you also have to give him props for taking advantage of the clean method when he can. Going along with a scheme to assassinate Renly instead of going toe-to-toe with him, intending to sacrifice Gendry in order to avoid more battles, and I'm sure if he could have avoided Blackwater he would have. And when the throne wasn't rightfully his, he was off in his corner of Westeros minding his own drat business and doing his job.

It was Stannis' king's powerjizz she used to birth the shadow assassin thing. That's why he grabbed her and told her to give him "another child" before she left on a boat that one time, but she said he wasn't strong enough to go through it again. He knew what he was doing.

Fight Club Sandwich posted:If he had to chop off Davos' fingers for smuggling food, shouldn't Stannis have to chop off his dick for forsaking his marriage vows It wasn't the smuggling he did during the siege he was punished for - it was the twenty or so years of smuggling he did before it. And then he raised Davos to knight and they broed out. But Stannis should chop off his Mannis, aye.

I have been trying to finish this thread to make sure my hilarious comments aren't repeats, but it seems I am always 200 posts behind so here are my hilarious observations: On page 22 someone asked why were they using flaming arrows, and peeps were saying they were good for setting buildings on fire, and using them as tracers. I think he correct answer is, "Because they're hot, you twit... it'll huuuurt more." Someone mentioned the Iron Bank financing 2 wars that can't be paid back. Seems to me Dany is in striking range of Braavos if she so chose... wouldn't it be hilarious if she took the city, and the Iron Bank, and ended up winning an economic victory over Westeros? And.... Peeps keep saying, "Why did the wildlings Do *this*, and why did they do *that*... it isn't tactically sound" from not sending enough giants, to not sending in a strike force with the gate lifting giant into the tunnel, to not sending enough men over the wall a couple miles away, to storming the castle with their best leaders... well, it seems to me that characters on the show have said at least twice that wildlings cannot win an assault on the wall, because they just aren't organized. So. The reason they fight like poo poo is because they aren't an army, they are a civilization running south away from monsters. Also, Red had it coming.

Jon specifically gives the reason why they didn't do all the "tactically sound" stuff. Mance was just testing the waters, sending a few eager bodies to see what the Night's Watch had in them. While they may not be a disciplined army, Mance has certainly organized them somewhat and taught them a few of the Crow's tricks.

I wonder how many of the 100,000 are actually combat-capable warriors and how many are children/old people/ill/disabled? I'm assuming wilding women fight, since the show features two fighting wildling women(Ygritte, Osha).

You could see a few women in the crowd of jeering wildings at the edge of the forest before the battle started.

I think Mance was banking on the southern force winning and opening the gates, and sent the small northern force as more of a distraction to keep the crows on the wall. He knows casualties will be huge if he goes for an all-out attack so he tried the sneaky route first.

Point on killing his brother in law, I suppose, but he never gave Gendry guest right. There's a specific ritual to Guest Right, and bread and salt were not offered, merely food. To a  like Stannis this matters.We'll see whether he sacrifices Shireen or not.

He's just turn his attention to the rest of the world. I could totally picture him going "Why settle for being king of one continent, when I could be king of them all?"

Kinda bummed that Varys hasn't had more screen time this season. His conversations with Tyrion and Littlefinger were always some of the most interesting parts of the show for me. Not a book reader so I'm not sure where his character is headed but I'm hoping both he and Bronn stick around. Unsure about Bronn being that he more or less gave a farewell speech before the trial by combat. Most of this season has just been shots of Varys looking on approvingly of the dumb poo poo Joffrey is doing or at the result of the battle between Oberyn and The Mountain. Oh and a few lines during Tyrion's trial, so there's that. But then again it being Game Of Thrones I wouldn't be surprised of Varys, Bronn, The Hound, Brienne and every other character I like got murdered in the finale.

Imagine if a Bolton or Snow (or both :V) was struck with full-head (or a large shock of) poliosis in that day and age; They'd all think the poor kid a Targaryen.

Lycus posted:If Stannis's wife were to die too, I'm 99% sure that the Tyrells would say "Heeeey, Stannis, you wanna marry Margery?" Well that image is simply terrifying in light of Margery's power-hungry nature. I'm sure she could seduce and manipulate Stannis just as easily as Mels did, but she'd probably have to get into the Red God bullshit. Would Margery burn people alive just to be "the" Queen? Stannis wouldn't be Joffrey, there wouldn't be any distracting him from the madness.

Getting into Stannis-style mass executions seems really against Margaery's character. She's power hungry, sure, but she's consistently tried to build her power on a foundation of being loved.

Someone once argued that Stannis is the Mitt Romney of Westeros, and this just never stops being relevant to me. He can make whatever rational arguments he wants, and try his damnedest to demonstrate why he's the right choice. But nobody likes that guy, all the way down to his cultish religion. I don't think anyone's so much on his side, as reluctantly resigned to the rational truth of his argument. "Yeah...yeah, I guess you should be king. Sure." His greatest strength is that he isn't literally a psychopath; he's the Heineken of rulers...not great, but inoffensive enough to drink and probably available.

Sure they're powerhungry plotters, but they're worldly, reasonable, and they definitely subscribe to the "make them love you, not fear you" philosophy. If you watch the Tyrell history and lore video, it seems they take pride in their origins as stewards and take their role in feeding the realm seriously. They've consistently shown a willingness to bend the knee to protect their people from strife.
