So, Stannis had his daughter burned alive, just as I was starting to like him, and the Harpies attacked Daenerys, leading to a wonderful Drogon burning people scene. Hopefully she'll execute everyone in Mereen, raze the city and salt the earth and finally get her ass moving to Westeros.
So...(1) does Jon Snow get stabbed at the end of Episode 10? (2) do we see Dany again this season? (3) does Stannis actually take Winterfell? (4) does someone finally kill Ramsay?
The great part about the TV series is that I know that I only have to wait one week to find out about Episode 10, and the next season will come in exactly one year, so I don't have to wonder if five years from now I'll still remember who's who when Martin actually gets another book out (if ever...seriously, the guy's morbidly obese and old).
So many needless and stupid plot lines and ideas excised, so many idiotic secondary and tertiary characters gone, yet Wun Wun the Giant remains - that's awesome by itself.
It could fit with the show too.
He could declare for Targaryen. Once tommen is done for, the Martels could take over casterly rock through myrcella, much as tywin and then roose meant to take winterfell though Sansa (or fake arya)
