she's "cured"

she's "cured"

But didn't he sort of recoil when she tried to hug him in an early episode? Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly.

 

[Ztir]

woudlnt u believe her? everything she's predicted so far has happened? also with the food and horses gone, stannis literally has 0 other option. burn his daughter to save the realm or have him and his army starve/freeze to death

 

[Kerosene31]

When naked? Yes.

 

[Goshin]

Yea that situation sucked.I liked his daughter she was cool

 

[Peanut]

man stannis really fuked up
gets his troops owned in kings landing
now this shit
wtf man

 

[Got Haggis?]

is it really kings blood if stannis isn't the true king

 

[Ztir]

is it really kings blood if stannis isn't the true king

he is the true king tho, by law

 

[MadHatSam]

he is the true king tho, by law

Does magic follow the letter of the law though?

 

[Goshin]

Yes

 

[Pagy]

he ought to be

he succeeds robert. robert was king.

 

[Kerosene31]

Yeah what makes a "true king"? Stannis is only in line for the throne because of Robert's rebellion. He calls Joffrey/Tommen usurpers.

 

[Goshin]

Bastards sired by Jamie, who wasn't king

 

[Ztir]

Does magic follow the letter of the law though?

it seems like it does. hell, gendry was a bastard and his illegitimate kings blood still worked

robert's rebellion was successful. he disposed of the targeryans and had all but 2(or 3) of the entire bloodline killed. he had targeryan blood in him, so he had somewhat of a legitimate claim with all of the targeryans gone. this is a different case because when it's found out that tommen is just a lannister bastard, the only legitimate ruler is stannis

though at the same time, the people who are pulling the strings in kings landing are the seven, and they probably won't take kindly to stannis' lord of light religion thing he has going on

that said, cersei's little segment with littlefinger a few seasons ago shows that all power is really, just perception

I definitely feel like Melisandre on the show is just kinda winging it at this point. Jon seems to have clouded her visions some and she isn't sure about Stannis anymore.

Maybe she just got lucky with the leeches.

 

[Pagy]

aegon conquered the throne as well........

In the books she isn't sure either.

 

[Ztir]

why would you think its luck? she's literally been right every single time they've used kings blood

 

[MadHatSam]

In the books she isn't sure either.

Book stuff:

Spoiler

I think she is pretty damn sure Stannis is fucked in the books, and is all about Jon being Azor Ahai reborn.

Show Melisandre just feels less confident when she isn't burning something or fucking something. Felt like little girl BBQ was a hail mary for her and Stannis both.
