Oh, Blader was on about his trim in January?
This was Kit on Graham Norton last month. He locks are well on the way back to normal Jon Snow length.

Not sure. I tried to google but found nothing to indicate he actually got his hair cut.
Got some crap with him in an interview where he said he was "done", ect. but I don't buy that he's actually dead.
If true, they can give him extensions.

2-0 to Olly.
Man, I think ya'll are catching to much feels over a show that has a dragon called Drogon.
Like, I'm not actually telling you how to watch the show, but I seriously think you'll enjoy it more if you just accept it as a trashy pulp where bad things happen to terrible people.
It's like real housewives but with dragons.

He trousers don't seem that tight?
Fucking shit. Going to have to put all my eggs in one basket now and root for Team Danny. Seriously, if she fucking dies I'm done with this fucking show. I've read up to the mid part of book 4 and there is still just enough that wasn't in the show to keep me going but if fucking Khaleesi dies I'm done. I"M DONE
*edit*
STILL FURIOUS. WHY DOT HEY ALL FUCKING DIE?/???

So broken spine worg Stark boy didn't have a single episode this season. I assume they pick that thread up next time.
I'm assuming high sparrow and the rest of them are murdered big time start of next season.

Jon has to live.
Melisandre put all her eggs in the Stannis basket, and ended up being proven wrong. She arrived to Castle Black looking pensive, almost broken. And it so happens this other person she thought was special somehow is lying dead somewhere in her proximity.
Luckily, it also so happens in season 2 or 3 it was shown people like her have the capacity to revive the dead. When will that ever be relevant? Why not now? It will never make more sense for that power to be used again.
Jon has spent a ridiculous amount of time at Castle Black. He's accomplished much there, but it's time to move on. His "death" is just a very dramatic excuse to cut him loose from the Night's Watch, and begin the adventures of Jon and Melisandre.
I can't wait for the next season.

Assuming Jon gets revived, like heavily implied by the Red Witch being back at Castle Black, only Stannis really died, folks.
And as much of a Stannis supporter as i was, he had it coming (not because of his daughter, but because he made nothing but bad decisions, since he was on screen).

Edit: Beaten.
Davos hasn't found out yet. Both Jon and Davos ask about Stannis and Shireen but Melisandre doesn't answer. But when Davos does Melisandre is finished.
Finished the season last night.
God
damn.
Everything is slowly moving into place. Stannis is taken off the board, that overhead shot of the Bolton army just crushing into whatever remained of the Flaming Heart forces was a sight to behold. Quite a nice touch to show the rear troops breaking formation and trying to bail out.
Jon's execution was so well done, it was a long time coming.
I felt Sansa's timing of burning the candle so Podrick and Brienne wouldn't see it a little too predictable, but then again, any scenario would be cliché.
And Arya, fucking Arya, that scene gave me the shivers. It was unsettling as all hell.

Not sure if it counts as book spoilers or whatever, but is somebody able to say how close the books and show are now? Preferably in regards to the various characters. A PM would be appreciated if it is considered book spoilers.
I want to dive into the book thread to read up about all the controversy this season, but don't want to get spoiled on other stuff. If it's a character I don't really care about, I don't mind too much though.

Jon will get revived and then Olly will stab him in the back 5 minutes later and kill him a second time.

is it now possible to actually have book spoilers?
could we discuss the differences between the book and TV in here now that the point in time is the same?
I was really surprised, but not unhappy that they skipped the shit book.

I hope not. I'm still reading the books and I'd like to read about the differences myself instead of on a forum.
Totally fair. That said, when Im watching pulp, I like it better at the True Detective and House of Cards end of the pulp spectrum rather than the Days of Our Lives and True Blood end. I think earlier seasons were at the former and the last was at the latter.

So. Why was Melisandre wrong the whole time? Are there any rules to the whole one true god thing? I thought it was almost clear that he actually is law in this world, but it just seems like a bunch of horseshit now.

Her visions were kind of vague. If I recall, she saw herself standing on the ramparts of Winterfell and she saw the Boltons' banner burning. There's no telling when those events are going to actually take place. Also, none of them seem to involve Stannis specifically.
Arya was doing okay so she goes blind. Jon was becoming a great character and probably my favorite in the show, so of course a bunch of cowards backstab him. That's about it for the good guys in the show, it's officially over.
I don't even know about Season 6 at this point.. yay for some boring Daenerys plot, Cersei getting revenge on everyone using Hulk-Mountain and the Boltons having everything go their way again.
Honestly I think Stannis probably didn't die either, the fucker. Since they didn't show it I assume someone killed Brienne just as she was swinging. That would make sense considering Brienne's also kind of a cool character and we can't have too many of those.

When has things ever not gone their way?

If Stannis and Jon are both dead and not coming back (which to me would be STUPID after having that "stare down" moment between Jon and the White Walker king...what a fucking waste), they're really going to have to shift towards people from the east saving the west. If they keep killing off potential heroes, they have to narrow it down and wrap the story up, yes? Or will everyone just die by the end and White Walkers rule forever?
Arya betrayed the servants of the many faced god. She refused to throw away her past, disobeyed her commands, and used their tools to accomplish her own selfish goals. That something bad would happen to her was very likely. I'm surprised they even let her kill that man.
Exactly, that's what I meant. Smooth sailing for them. Like no one cares about them and all of a sudden they're a big power. How did they even get that huge army with all those horses?
I thought Littlefinger may have had some plan that could mess things up for them, but no. He had no idea what he was doing.
The man she killed was much more deserving of death than the one they wanted her to kill. The many faced god is an asshole.

Btw, I'm pretty sure Pod stopped Brienne from killing Stannis off-screen. With all his knowledge of the houses and whatnot, he'll probably make a compelling case why Stannis should be alive against the Boltons. Something like that. What do you think?
That's not the point. She went to them supposedly wanting to become a faceless one. If she doesn't want to follow the way they work she should have left and performed the assassination on her own. It was all probably a test to see how devoted she was to them, one which she failed.
She named herself while killing him, too. :/

I'm pretty sure someone ends up stopping Brienne from killing Stannis. I noticed that right before she started her Renly speech, he kept looking behind her as if someone was there.
You just don't hide a dagger under the stones if the character has no future. I think Arya as blind assassin is pretty cool, maybe that's what they're going for.
Come to think of it, they also changed her list and made it shorter. Arya had more names on it during Season 3-4. I think she'll succeed.
Yeah, the Night's Watch has no role now that the Wildlings are on the other side and all that's left are the White Walkers in the north. I'm happy for the Night's Watch to get nuked out of existence now (though Davos and dare I say Melisandre must leave with Jon's corpse first

Pod will!
Why should it be temporary? Arya could totally fuck things up while blind and it would be even cooler tbh
