Do we know if Melisandre performed some kind of "magic" with the help of the sac of Stannis' daughter ? Like clearing the weather or sth, so they can walk on winterfell ?

Random question, was staring on this map for a while ..

http://imgehd.com/game-of-thrones-map-hbo-background-1-hd-wallpaper.html

Why did Robb's army needed to pass The Twins? But the main road from Winterfell doesn't even pass to the Twins. iirc That Tully guy(Robb's bannerman) only marry one of the Freys bec they wanted to pass right?

Tywin was camping the Kingsroad with the main Lannister army. Jamie was sieging Riverrun with a smaller host. Roose Bolton made a feint at Tywin while Rob crossed the the Green Fork at the Twins and made for Riverrun, catching Jamie off guard.
Lannister didn't have proper scouting so the Stark cheese worked.

Come on jaime, that's what the minimap is for !

Imo they made it pretty clear that burning little girls alive does nothing other than making you a disgusting motherfucker. That's kind of the only redeeming thing about the last episode, I sure wouldn't want to watch a show where you can do something like that and get away with it.

Well it changed the weather and we don't know that stannis is actually dead. Plus common girls are raped / killed constantly in this show look at how easily meryn trant got ahold of a bunch of girls and everyone was okay with it because its just a normal thing.

shireen wasn't a common girl, and trant wasn't raping his own daughters. the analogy isn't quite apt enough.

It's not all out winter just yet, so naturally the weather is unstable. If anything, the whole point of GoT as a show is that you don't need supernatural explanations to trivial events, even in a fantasy setting.

So far there has been no evidence that human sacrifice to the Lord of Light even has any effect. Thoros of Myr doesn't sacrifice anyone to bring Dondarion back, it just happens, none of the real stuff Melisandre does is fueled by sacrifice as well. Her "distant murder" of the false kings and weather change are indistinguishable from common superstition, the former happen for actual real reasons, the latter is as likely to be a whim of nature.

The reason she is so shocked, imo, is not only mistakenly seeing Stannis as a champion of the Lord of Light, but the realization that her whole way of honing her god is fucked up which is probably why she is misled with Stannis in the first place. She realizes that a common drunk is a better servant to her lord than her.

you're ascribing your knowledge of weather to a books whose weather is very explicitly a complete fantasy. you can't actually claim to know the truth of how it behaves. it's the most fantastical thing about the show up there with magic and dragons. you can see it go from a foot of snow to melting. as like most things with respect to God(s), you can't prove or disprove it. there's definitely room for stannis to believe.

I think they done the Stannis scene like that because they are not sure if he will survive or not in the books.

If hes dead then no harm done and if hes alive then they can do a scene with Briene hitting the tree or smth.

The creators of the show know how the entire story ends. They aren't waiting for the books.

I think it's fair to say that Mel's weather magic works in the same way that the leech magic worked on Joffrey and Robb. Dubious, it could be a coincidence, but maybe too great a coincidence? We're not supposed to find out for sure. Maybe the weather magic was a kind of genie's doublesided wish thing, where the gods give Stannis the weather change he wants, but curse him to lose because he killed his own daughter?

The exact nature of Melisandre's god, and the Great Other, isn't supposed to be known yet, because it has to do with the very endgame of the entire series. We know for sure that Mel is capable of some kind of magic, like the assassins, but it clearly can't be done at will or whenever she pleases; as she always stresses, it's ultimately out of her hands. GoT is quite hesitant to show things like magical spells being performed by humans. Melisandre is the closest they've gotten, and as I've said already, the nature of her abilities is highly ambiguous, even to her.

there were a lot of things left out or simplified, the left out things weren't always important for the plot, but they were good for building your background knowledge of the world.
And all is illuminated.

Book 5 has a Melissandre POV. If you are interested in her mind you guys should read it.

Side plots and background. Only a minor future event that might not even happen in the show.

Because there is more background on the books, there is more material for speculation, so you should still care a little bit for pseudo-spoils.
