Shireen's is (was) inert or something like that I think. So it probably isn't contagious anymore considering they let her walk around all the time.

So stupid. This show really likes making black and white characters nowadays.
Oh yeah, I'm positive Dany is fine, I'm just looking for some logical consistency.

Shireen is healed, just scarred.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Random controversial events: the season.
He already burned a ton of other dudes at the stake and killed his brother with shadow magic. Dude was already an asshole, tbh.

If this is how things go down, my guess is that the book plot will have Stannis defeating the Boltons and marching south. He plans to hit the Freys next, and maybe does, but since Brienne is tied up in that situation, she kills him there. If that's the case, then it really feels like they're just not interested in the Stannis story, and want it over with so it doesn't take up any space in season 6, so they're moving up his end with Brienne.

Aside from one show deviation (which I hated), the people he burned were criminals....which I've always hated since it's a horrible way to kill someone, but at least the people were criminals rather than random non-believers. In the case of Renly, would it have been better if Renly had just been another contender for the throne?

How did Davos know that 20 good men did it? Was it just a line in case the audience were too dumb to make the connection? Also fuck D&D
The entire season is bullshit. The writing is beyond pathetic.
So then why doesn't she just kill the major house heads?
yeah, but he had to kill renly because he was a usurper, he always had cause and did things for reason. now he's burning his daughter on a whim.
she's also crapping her guts out by a river in ADWD.
Or is Davos a secret Bolton spy seduced by the words of the best negotiator in Westeros: RAMSAY.

Im not sure if they are uninterested. It may just be that they timelined the whole thing and needed to collapse and simplify the show for timing and simplicity reasons.
I'm still a bit nervous how they are going to handle the final few seasons. HBO needs to bankroll a shit ton of money for the final few conflicts if they want to do this justice. I can't fathom them pulling off the final parts of the story while limiting their budget like they have this season.

That was based off her crazy bro. There's a very long history of Targs getting sick.
There are some good things this season. They just made some weird decisions.

She seemed pretty sick and the end of ADWD though.

I guess but it could be both... Yes we spoiler tag TWOW stuff regardless.

Me watching as Shireen burned and knowing how people were going to react to it:
Davos Seaworth: The 21st Good Man

The Meereen subplot is fucking dumb.

If you want logical consistency, you're watching the wrong show
Then takes a several liter liquid shit

Honestly can't see how they will wrap this up satisfactory within 2 seasons. That still feels way too rushed.

She's wrong. Several Targs died in the Great Spring Sickness alone.
It would make sense, Dany just doesn't want to kill them. Which is funny considering how many slave masters she killed taking the city.
You don't have to spoiler tag that. It's just speculation. I'm thinking season 6 will be Danaerys bringing Fire and Blood to Westeros while Jon tries to deal with the Others.
I've gotten too used to spoiler-tagging over the last couple of days. =P
Also, the more she drank, the more she shat.

Might be necessary that the contact is from affected skin. Like how some stds are more contagious when there are visible flare ups.
Don't think it's really indicative of anything with Dany/Jorah.

OMG this is amazing.

But what did they do with this season?
Nothing. Nothing has happened in 9 episodes that could not have been achieved in 3.

Slightly OT, but I still cringe at the thought that a large portion of the TV audience still thinks Dany's name is Khaleesi.

*sigh*
I buy it, seems like something D&D would cook up.
Can't have a good character kill a gray character, make him EVIL
Thought she was having a miscarriage/poison berries.
Slight exaggeration but I always thought that her point was that some in their family have a higher threshold against illness than most. Or maybe she and Viserys were just lucky.
