That seems the most likely theory. It doesn't make sense for it to happen unless it's an act of desperation.
Is it? I guess it could still be from those scenes as it hasn't been used yet.

well that's we thought so far, yes. but now that's different.
i doubt jon and stannis die in episode 9.
thinking about it, no I just doesn't make sense it if it's only to repel ramsey.
I mean after that there is still the true bolton army there, damn I need to see this now

I agree Shireen is going to die in the books, and almost certainly be burned...but it'll be done without Stannis' knowledge. He's not at the Wall, and when he gets back I would assume that his reaction will be very negative. As in, killing Melisandre or Selyse.

I just don't see how they can rush it to happen all in tonights episode. I guess we'll see.
That will always be for book Stannis. He's always been written as more of a villain in the show
Jesus Christ I'm so glad that wasn't in the series, that's a horrifying scene and one of the worst atrocities described in the series, just vomit inducing.
Still, goddammit D&D. If Stannis makes that decision... goddammit.
Called it!

Yes but we still saw the gruesome results.
Ehh never mind I give up on trying to understand where people draw the line on morality and staying true to the story, one ban was enough.

New Episode Tonight: The Dance of Dragons
I wanna see receipts. I saw a summary of episode 9 on reddit, but it doesn't mention Cersei yet we know she's in the episode based on a promo picture. The rest is stuff that is easily guessed from previews.

I'm rooting for the white walkers personally.
Nah there are screens floating around the net of the scene in question. Sadly, all points to it happening.
Oh yeah. I remember reading it and feeling a bit sick. I wasn't mad it was in there, because that sort of thing illustrates exactly the type of world we're dealing with. But boy am I glad I didn't have to witness that in the show.
Yeaaah. I know Stannis wants the throne, but I can't believe he would be the one to pull the trigger based on his character in the books and even the show up until now. Who knows though... maybe Martin told them he would.

People saying it's real, do you mean just
The Stannis/Selyse stuff sounds backwards to me.

He then turns around and goes back to Winterfell where he apologizes to both Reek and Sansa for everything he's done to them before retiring to the Quiet Isle where he'll become the new grave digger.

They made a new thread apparently.
People are forgetting that Stannis used a shadow baby to kill Renly. He isn't holy. But I do agree it will be very disappointing to have him agree to Shireen burning on the show. Oh and the backlash for HBO will be massive.

I can't believe this is happening, why can't you go more than an episode without screwing up in some way?
It's real. Search for images and you will find them.

In this case they are just doing what is going to happen in the book I believe.

By Stannis? No way in seven hells.
Motivation's probably done way better in the books though.

I believe there's more to it than is in the description, it's written very poorly with some parts that include the wrong character name etc

There are photos of it out? WTF?
That's because Varys is a lying asshole. After all, is it wise to trust a man who cuts the tongues out of little children and sticks them into cramped hidden passageways?

He's not on the Wall and won't be back anytime soon...
If Shireen gets burned in TWOW it'll be without his blessing. I believe she will be burned to revive Stannis - Melisandre probably knows the Pink Letter is bullshit, but will do it anyway to revive Jon.

Just saw the leaked pics. Ugh. Oh well, lets see how this all plays out. Not going to jump to conclusions, but internet's going to be one to avoid tomorrow.

True. And that is EXACTLY how it should have been on the show. So yea, fuck D&D if that is not the case
Guys, I know you're disappointed in "The Mannis" and Shireen is my favorite child actor that's ever been in the show, but...
Hasn't Stannis' conflict always been his duty vs. morality, and whether he would sacrifice his very soul to the red lady for a chance at the iron throne? This fits with this, doesn't it?
Of course, we haven't really established that making sacrifices to R'hllor works, have we?
