    So I read something interesting today, it was about the parallels between ASOIAF and historical lore, mythology, and real history.

    So Stannis burns his daughter at the stake, sacrificing her to the red God R'hllor. Agememnon did something like that, sacrificing his daughter to the gods on the request of his lover. But his daughter was replaced with a deer. Eventually Agememnon's wife kills both him and his lover. Stannis' arc is really similar. Could Selyse be the one that kills Stannis and Mel?

    I have and Theon's. Arya's sample chapter will actually happen in the next episode with Raff the sweetling being replaced by Ser Meryn Trant.

    What if Melisindra glamoured some peasant girl to look like Shireen, and the real Shireen was returned to the wall by Davos.

    George is that you?

    That's actually what she did with Mance Rayder in the books. She really burned Rattleshirt I think.

    So where the fuck where the Unsullied to protect Khalisi? Aren't they supposed to be the greatest fighting force this side of the 7 kingdoms? They left it to her dragon to save her? Pussies
