They must have some good people survive this mess and having Jon or Dany rule in the end is just too obvious.

Even in the books I feel that, minus his absolute emotional repression and awkwardness, especially after Ned's death, Stannis is one of the best equipped to be the father of a girl in that world, because he seems to be a little less sexist(he's still somewhat sexist but for the standard of that world he's less so than most, not all but most). Also, I think Shireen's personality and intellect reflect the kind of parent Stannis is and she is actually the best suited to be a future Queen, out of the youngsters. So the scene in today's episode was a very good addition and a realistic, true to character one, at least the way I see him, could have used one in the books as well. Now they really are the best, he'd be a good King and he has a very good heir, even if she's a girl, and he sees her as his heir without a problem.<br />I better not even start again with Stephen cause I still cannot with generally everything that was his face in that scene and just in general. I'm sure with the new episode and Stannis in a fur cloak with that beard, I'll have a lot to say.<br /><br />Lol I really have a fantasy playing over and over in my head, of Stannis catapulting both Melisandre and Selyse over the Wall, they're just so horrible on the show, Selyse is especially vile! Oh man, you're totally right, it would be so horrible for anything to happen to those two sweethearts after they were both forced to go through mostly unhappy times, they deserve to at least be there at the end, at least see the finish line if not cross it too.<br /><br />I want Littlefinger to keep trolling til the end of time, especially if he's on Team Stannis so he's not an immediate threat to him, he's too entertaining on the show to let him go.Adahttp://dreaming-of-imladris.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-20841473294153129472015-05-08T20:16:35.003+02:002015-05-08T20:16:35.003+02:00I love your analysis of this scene! So beautifully...I love your analysis of this scene! So beautifully written and on point. It was indeed one of the finest moments on the show to date and Stephen and Kerry were so wonderful and there was so much subtlety in their acting - Kerry smiling when he was telling her of her being an infant and then the tears in her eyes when he said so proudly that she is his daughter was so beautiful. And Stephen showed such vulnerability while at the same time being strong and not breaking down over the story of how she fell ill. It was just so beautiful! <br /><br />I hate whenever either Melisandre or Selyse is near Stannis. They make him so miserable.I really hope nothing happens to Stannis and Shireen, it would be so cruel if it did they both had such miserable lives and deserve to have some happiness at last.<br /><br />I think Stannis would behead Littlefinger at the first chance he has and I'd so love if it happened ^^s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-33914558409700624632015-05-07T20:31:42.410+02:002015-05-07T20:31:42.410+02:00Well they will show you what Melisandre does this ...Well they will show you what Melisandre does this season :) She is such a badly written character on the show, though. s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-74749331467672032092015-05-07T19:57:46.872+02:002015-05-07T19:57:46.872+02:00I liked the final fight but that might have been j...I liked the final fight but that might have been just joy from seeing Barristan fight at last.

Personally, although it's not in the book, I always thought of Stannis as very repressed and unable to handle his feelings, very guarded rather than actually uncaring in general. So I don't think he's a cold person at the core, he just acts that way on the surface, like a defense mechanism but also because he was already an introverted, not really sociable boy and he never learned to feel openly or act like it. So to me this scene fit his character well. I liked that, to me, he seemed surprised/disturbed that his daughter would think he is ashamed of her and immediately he felt like clearing that up. Then I found it true to his character, that instead of telling her he's not ashamed or that he loves her or something like that, he told her a story that would explain how he feels in a clear manner but one that slowly eases into a state of emotional vulnerability instead of jumping into it directly. The acting was superb, I think it was by far one of the best acted scenes on this show. Maybe I'm already in way too deep but one of the things that I find most attractive/endearing about Stephen, as an actor and physically, is that I personally find his face/eyes and general body language to be very expressive and he did a lot of that in this scene. The way he looked at Shireen ,especially at the end when he told her she's Princess Shireen of House Baratheon, the intensity and determination in his eyes, it was great. And then when he told her she's his daughter, there was even like a crack in his voice and he looked so raw, I was in a total puddle by that point. The girl is also very good, she always seems to look at him like he's her hero and they are a lot alike in personality, it was impossible not to totally feel for her. It was so cute how her face progressively lit up as he spoke and she realized that her daddy, her hero, wasn't ashamed of her and actually really loved her. He made her entire life and it was obvious. <br />Uuuuugh, I wish Stephen got more scenes and especially more scenes like this one, he could really get an award for it but he needs more screentime and meaty scenes. <br />But of course I'm expecting this scene will come at a price and I'd so hate for Shireen to die, although preferable to Stannis of course. This season is such a struggle.<br />My God, Selyse and Melisandre are becoming more and more obnoxious with every scene, I really could not with Selyse's comments, she needs a good slapping. Melisandre is totally ruined, that scene with Jon was just laughable and that can u feel my heart beat line, while he was holding her boob...really now, how did she even do that with a straight face, who comes up with these things? Stannis should really just make friends with Brienne and the Stark girls, win-win for everyone, he needs better women in his life.<br /><br />Lol Littlefinger and Sansa scenes are so entertaining to me, I can't help it, he's so creepy but Aidan plays him in this endearing, troll-ish way and I can't hate, I even enjoy the creepster stares, thank God Sophie doesn't look that young cause in the book it's creepy in a disturbing way. I totally laughed when he kissed her, it was the best, I'm so amused and somehow Sansa seemed to be looking at him way too ...I don't even know, hope she's just playing but whatever, still better fanfic than the certain abuse she's going to get from Ramsay. And hey, Baelish stans for the Mannis so it's all good, even if they made him seem totally dumb by implying he has no clue of how Ramsay is, it's so out of character.<br /><br />RIP Barristan, he was awesome, smart, useful and hot, shall be missed!

But you're right, Brienne should be thinking about Jaime instead of fucking Renly.<br /><br />LOL at the sign for Sansa. What you just said about Littlefinger waiting in the Vale makes 100000x more sense. If they knew Stannis was at Castle Black, Sansa could've written a raven to Jon herself proving that it really was her and Littlefinger wasn't bluffing. Then they could wait for Stannis to crush the Boltons, then mosey on up to Winterfell.<br /><br />Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-9500609741415555322015-05-04T23:14:35.320+02:002015-05-04T23:14:35.320+02:00Thankfully Olenna is coming back to KL.
