People who were excited about "When George told us about this" last week are in a difficult bind now. Does Stannis sacrifice Shireen or does he die at the Battle of Winterfell? He can't do both. Which story beat is true to the books? Are either of them? Find out next year (maybe).

At least going forward, I hope people now understand that the amount you can use the show to predict anything other than the broadest plot developments in the future books is basically zero.

In the books Mel has Shireen, unburned. She could burn her to resurrect Stannis or 'Azor Ahai' and end up bringing back Jon.

Why the gently caress would the Lords right to the first night make more bastards that literally makes no sense. They would have no way of proving the illegitimacy/parentage of the child if the wife had to sleep with a lord the night before her wedding to her actual husband

That's not a very organic storyline. It's quite dumb and you can tell GRRM just wanted things to end that way so he wrote a bunch of bullshit to get to his predetermined ending.

Jon basically helps Stannis and tries to gently caress with Ramsays plans as much as he can talk himself into rationalizing pretty much the whole book so I'm sort of confused why people are saying his choice wasn't very organic.

This is demonstrably untrue, gently caress off. GRRM is doing the best he can. TWOW will release in 2016.

You make a lot of ridiculous posts but this one is the hottest take yet
