Did we get the "It seems weddings are more dangerous than battles" line from Stannis?

One of the reasons why Stannis is so cool in the books is because he gets the best lines.

When I first heard about GoT the show back around 2012 I thought: I'll read the books before I watch the show. 2 years later (read a few other books in between) I finally finished yesterday. Somehow I managed to avoid every spoiler these past 2 years. I managed to avoid even knowing what the actors look like so as to not ruin the image in my mind... Up until earlier this year. Don't know how I had the patience. I always saw this thread getting bigger and bigger... Never clicked it. I've now spent hours pouring over fan theories and the like. Need to start watching the show though. Book 6 really won't be out until 2015+?

Thats a terrible, dry line though.

Well I'm hyped as all hell. Given how drawn-out the Battle of Castle Black has been all season and judging from the preview I'm expecting something of equal or greater quality than "Blackwater" (best ep so far in the series imo).

Plus...it's episode 9 :o

They don't have time to do tyrion talking with jaime (amazing dialog) killing his dad + shae/ dayneries stuff/ bran / stannis arriving/ lady stoneheart/ etc I'm really worried about the next ep :/

I think they'll get through everything they need. Pretty much every arc except the Wall and Tyrion only require 5 minutes at most. Bran and Dany only need a quick set-up for next season, and Arya doesn't need much more, only to split from the Hound and then 30 seconds later on to show her leaving for Braavos. Probably a similar set-up for Brienne. Show her and Pod getting captured quick, and then wrap up the episode with the LSH reveal (or better yet IMO, roll credits first and play that scene in place of the usual trailer for the next episode). Maybe another quick scene showing Asha, but I think that could work better as the opening scene of S5E1 (have her arrive back at Pyke to find out Balon is dead). I think you could accomplish all of that with as little as 15 minutes of screen time. If it's really 66 minutes, then that's 50 minutes for Stannis arrival and all of Tyrion's stuff.

I'm not really that shocked Stannis was skipped this episode. He only showed up after Jon went to treat with Mance anyway, and I didn't think that would make it in tonight's episode since it's episode 9 and was clearly going to be only the battle at the castle.
