Love his face.
That part was awesome, they were like "weve lost most of our ships and men we can't go ashore!" And Stannis was like "see how many fucks I give"

The OST spoils the surprise, I believe. So if you see it over Amazon or anywhere else, try not to look at the track names.
Davos is way too cool to die just like that. Okay, Ned Stark was an exception of the rule - but then again, he was played by Sean Bean
the gif at the bottom of p71 clearly shows how he's blasted off the ship. If he really was supposed to die in that explosion, it wouldn't have been done so ambiguous
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he was now just gone forever. I can't see how he would survive, anyway. All of that wildfire around him and all.

Hell, as a grown ass man, I'd still be too scared to leave with that guy.
agreed
They showed him getting blown off the ship rather than getting obliterated like his son. I can see him surviving by being underwater as the explosion passes over him or something stupid like that.

Yes, a 12 foot killer with a melted face, who's also been giving you creepy looks for months.

BTW, can somebody explain me the beef between The Hound and Bronn?
I don't really get it either, I think that was actually the first time that I've seen those two together in a scene
and he won't shut up about how awesome it is to just kill shit.
He's a golden lion and I want to have his BABIES!
Honestly I'm not sure myself, that's all new to me. The way I interpret it, I'm guessing The Hound felt it was extremely fake for Bronn to try to 'soak in life' at this moment as if that's what he was fighting for, when what he was fighting for was really the thrill of the kill. The Hound understands that power in this world is about who can kill someone else, and that fundamentally most of these people enjoy it deep down. The Hound wears that on his sleeve and thus finds difficulty enjoying himself casually in a brothel or whatever, because he can't relate to everyone else.
and he disemboweled a man right in front of Sansa.
But Sophie Turner is his size and it looks like she'll be bigger than him in no time.

With his hand! That was the best. The Hound is a much better character now that a) he's no-one's bitch any more, b) is probably gonna be wanted as a traitor, and c) has established character details, even they are "is scared of fire" and "falls for pretty girls easily".

I couldn't help but notice the size of her wrists while she was drinking Cersei's wine.
We lucked out Aria is not growing anywhere near as fast :lol
I just got the feeling that the Hound was sick of everything, had enough playing stupid war games. Just in that moment Bronn was in the directly opposite emotional state, restless and hungry for war and for action. I suppose the polarity between them is what drew the animosity out of the hound. In the same way as when your upset, you want everyone around you to be upset too. The idea that other people should be feeling something different to you can be frustrating.
The more I think about this seems like the logical progression for his character. I think that defeat is the one thing that will push him over the edge into embracing Melisandre fully.
I don't see him ever joining with Robb and I certainly don't see him tucking his tail and running.
Melisandre has a crazy religion people seem to swallow and that can be a powerful motivational tool in ones arsenal. Though it would seem like stannis might now be on the wrong end of a numbers game so n,ess Melisandre has an army of shadow babies in between her legs I'm not sure how they ever grow their forces again properly.

If Stannis isn't a giant devil man by the end of S3, I'm going book-burning
hah, back to plan B then - make more shadow babies

Can you imagine if both Stannis and Davos somehow escape alive? Stannis would beat the shit out of Davos for making him not bring Melisandre along.

Poor Davos better keep the fishes company...
Edit: Melissandre is a fire priest, but I have to wonder about the extent of her abilities. I mean, it would take one hell of a rough fuck* to stop a fire bombing like the one that devastated Stannis fleet.
*I'd gladly make the effort, rotten vag or not.

Does he even know about the vag demon?

I did realize that the hound gave us this season's second reference to raping someone's corpse.

HBO, motherfuckers
Doesn't seem like it but he knows Melisandre has superpowers of some sort. The only reason he left her behind is that he didn't want to be viewed as her puppet.
He and Melisandre need to have a chat, and more sex.
"Any man dies with a clean sword, I'll rape his fucking corpse."
I don't think he does, no. I think only Davos does, as well is Catelyn and Breanne (sp?), though obviously they don't really know what the hell it was.
I feel like he's definitely going to learn about it soon, though. I'm with everyone on saying that Melisandre is gonna get all "well, you should have brought me along. Now trust me and all will be yours.", and he will fall to the temptation of using her dark powers fully. I doubt Stannis takes defeat very well, at all.

I'm not sure if we should take Stannis escape as warranted.
Edit: That said, he's the last Baratheon standing (I'm just ignoring Joffrey for obvious reasons).

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The more I think about it the more I'm convinced there has never been a CGI effect of that scale and authenticity in any other TV show. I've seen worse effects in more expensive films.
I literally thought to myself "holy shit this is television?".
Its not television, its HBO®
He knew that she had something up her... err.. sleeve, since he explicitly asked Davos to smuggle her over to Renly's camp.
*_______________*
Yeah, this episode made me like Sansa a lot more than I used to. For the longest time I couldn't stand her, but I realized that that is kind of what her character is. She was young, star struck, foolish and didn't know what the world was really like. We're seeing a fascinating transition into adulthood for her.
His entire vessel was blown to shit and the water covered with a shiny film of wildfire. I mean, he could have survived that going with TV physics (and I still keep that hope alive, as foolish as it is) but I mean...
DAMN.
Does anybody know if there are fridges in Westeros?
Someone needs to do to this with a blue explosion and a red one. Mass Effect style.
Although the show didn't say I always assumed it was a one shot type of thing. It seemed like it was born for a specific purpose.
Once it shot out of her it went straight to Renly. I don't remember where it went afterward.
i've watched that wildfire gif like twenty times now and I just can't stop being impressed. The atom bomb at the end, the evisceration of Davos ship with an unflinching shot of him flying back from it, the way the concussion from the blast initially blows back all the sails on the ships surrounding it before the fire consumes them
i think i'm in love with this cg effect
