Finally, Davos would make the best Hand of the King without a doubt. Only Tyrion could rival him for that position. I disagree. Davos would make an OK Hand at best. He's honorable and nice, but he's not the political type. Tyrion is the perfect Hand. | ||

Daario has had the chance to kill Dany numerous times of course, and the way they were surrounded in the arena there was just no way out Had the dragon not come, they would have all died. Or perhaps they would have subdued them, and then Daario can show his true colors. Perhaps that's why they didn't attack so eagerly or didn't throw spears. That is the only option for it to be him imo. It could be possible otherwise too, editors cleverly masking his surprise or relief when Hizdahr was stabbed after he said 'I know a way out'. If it was Daario, he could be dissapointed that his plan was about to fall into pieces, rather than scared for Dany. Plus killing all the masters or making sure they take all the blame makes sure there aren't any other big players in the city and it's easier to assume control. However, the surrounding scene still makes me doubt it's him, as he didn't suggest surrendering and fought back. Perhaps it's the whole city that is slowly turning against her though. BTW all the whining in this thread is blowing out of proportions. Yes, maybe you think game of thrones was the best thing ever to air TV for the first four seasons. Maybe it's not setting the standard for everything else this season. But it's not bad, the CGI isn't bad, the acting isn't bad. I also feel that the supposed plotholes some of you see (stannis's behaviour etc) are just your own simplicity and inability to relate and understand the character. Regardless, some of you would rather judge first and think then, and that is not constructive and makes this thread blow up with nonsense rather than proper discussion | ||

If that doesn't happen he has to pray that this "Lord of Light" actually exists and can do miracles, otherwise we will have really disapointing(and sad) end on his story line. Also we learned why dragons went extinct. They are not very smart. If you can fly and burn your enemies from above, why the hell would you land and take spears to the face. | ||

As long as they learn from their mistakes they will be OK. | ||

Woah let's take a step back for a moment. Let's review the things Mel has brought to the table. The birth of the shadow illustrated she definitely has *some* ability with magic. I'm dubious that this is actually a lord of light thing, echoing Davos' concerns but let's just say that it is. That said, this extremely concrete use of magic I think was planted early on to hide Mel's lack of ability elsewhere. The only instance of King's blood being used so far is Gendry which has resulted in 2/3 of deaths it predicted. The fact it's taken so long for the last one should be taken as a sign that maybe the deaths of Rob and Joffrey weren't entirely Stannis' doing. Let's look at the evidence, Rob beheaded the Karstark guy (planting the necessity for more troops and concerning his close advisers) and married Talisa (backtracking on his word to marry a Frey girl) well before Mel cursed him. There's evidence (from all the scenes of Tywin writing and whatnot) that Tywin-Roose were already in cahoots and even more so after the Karstark beheading. All the pieces were set in motion long before the blood was burned. With regard to Joffrey's murder, the conversation between Sansa-Olenna which inspired Olenna-Littlefinger to work together (and ultimately kill Joef) happened the episode before the blood was burned. Again, the pieces were set in motion before the burning of the blood. Honestly, it could just as plausibly have been Mel seeing the deaths of Robb and Joff (and Balon?) in the flames and then using the blood to con Stannis into thinking it was his doing. After all, there is that critical scene between Mel and Selyse discussing how most of Mel's potions are just illusions. Mel also clearly has some prophetic ability, but her predictions aren't spot on. For instance she didn't predict the result of the Blackwater correctly, but did correctly predict (after Davos brought the letter) that the real war is in the north and diverted Stannis to that battle. She predicted the exact location of Gendry, but failed to predict Davos stealing Gendry from under her nose. There's good reason to question just how accurate or powerful that she is. It's also worth pointing out that Thoros resurrecting Beric took Mel by surprise, and that Stannis likely does not know about that. The tldr is that there's plenty of rational reasons why you should or could doubt Mel's abilities. Part of Stannis' decision is to overlook those shortcomings in pursuit of the Iron Throne. | ||
