What are you talking about? Both Whitewalkers and dragons are in the story. So he's going to have to deal with them eventually. Pretending after all this time that they aren't that important in the overall story arc would be dumb as shit. I agree with what others have stated as well: when he first began writing the books he said "snow zombies, cool, they'll be interesting to have in there. And dragons, have to have dragons." So now they're in the story but serve no real function in moving the plot forward. Now he's stuck with them and he's going to have to find a way to fit them into the conclusion of the tale that doesn't come off as anticlimactic. That's if he ever finishes the series.

I always felt like the political and actual scheming /fighting would is main, but just leaves the whole continent weakened. When Danny finally conquers Westeros, everyone (including her dragons ) are too tired and/or dead to fight the actual threat that was known about for the entire book/TV series. All our heroes die, and the actual hero is saying "wtf we told you dickholes about this" the whole time. Hubris and thirst for power is what ultimately brings about the end of man.

I thought it was odd they didn't show stannis' death and he was moved into a situation in the woods where it would be feasible for him to lose and escape. I assumed someone later it would show brienne swinging, deflect and hit the tree bullshit move, then give him a pass because shes got no balls, blow him and make him a sandwich.

Fuck you guys are retarded. The last 2 pages was just painful to read. The writers/directors all confirmed he's dead. Fuck the damn actor came out after last season talking mad shit about the show, its fucking gay fantasy bull shit he was only doing it for a paycheck, and you faggots in here still arguing "oh they cut away maybe he's still alive"

Fucking kill yourselves irl

Ps drunk, but seriously kill yourselves

even if she had done that, swung and missed and said, "go on get outta here before i change my mind!" he would have gotten maybe two feet before he bled to death anyway. remember his femoral was cut and he was bleeding out and was so week he had collapsed by the tree.

The Dorne storyline would be more powerful in the source than the show. They didn't do Dorne any favors in the show and it would probably end in typical GRRM fashion where Doran is finally ready to spin the wheels of his master plan he was spinning but then gets cut down by the Sand Snakes. That is pretty much how all the major deaths occur in this show (Jon and Robb being prime examples.) I don't recall in the show Doran even really revealing he was working behind the scenes on forging alliances to ensure victory in the coming war.

And while I'm on a drunk rant, fuck dorne. Stupid motherfucker got a better tv storyline than he deserved.

Keep seeing this bullshit "masterplan" nonsense like it wasn't some bs retcon on grrms part just to fill the gap.

Doran was a fucking weak ass retard. His plan was fucking retarded and had already failed.

People give too much credit to that stupid fucking revisionist history speech he gives his daughter like that makes up for his failings.

Dorans "masterplan" according to the books:

Oh shit they killed my sister and my niece/nephew, lemme;
Banish the only motherfucker in dorne with any balls (his brother oberyn)
Forge a secret marriage pact between arianne and viserys, except never inform arianne or viserys
Allow the targ prince which I've wagered everything on to wander essos as a beggar with no support whatsoever, constantly under threat of assassination by Robert baratheon.

Wait 17 fucking years

Oh shit he died. Still never inform my own daughter and heir to my throne of my plan (because grrm just created this shit on the fly, it was never part of the original story)

Meanwhile my daughter and heir has gone well past longing for my approval to resentment to outright plotting against me, thinking im trying to deny her birthright.

Oh yeah, pivot to another shitfuck plan of sending my immature fugly 18 yo son with the charisma of a newt to try and woo the most beautiful woman in the world, who's also a queen and conqueror and has 3 full grown dragons and a fucking army, while offering nothing but the loyalty of the weakest of the seven kingdoms in return.

Wait again for no reason.

Unbeknownst to him of course his shit son is already extra crispy kfc style and nothing is coming, except his daughters plan to say fuck doran and rally her own war against the crown. Doran is a bernie fucking sanders of useless fucking cuckness who accomplishes nothing. so the tv show changes his daughter from ruining his shit plans to his sister in law. Big fucking deal. end result is the same.

Doran's "masterplan" is somewhere between "the best revenge is a life well lived" and "maybe my kids will outlive my enemies kids so I win", except his life is one of agony and regret, suffering gout while his enemies live full, complete lives of power and prestige. Also his kids are dying faster than tywins so he doesn't even "win" at that.

His plan is like my plan to marry and impregnate scarjo about 6 times. We both sit around and wait for it to happen on its own and if it doesn't, oh well didn't really wanna do that anyway

I've had a beer with french toast, bacon, and hash browns at 8 am more than once. But I have an odd schedule and I'm a bit of an insomniac so my concept of morning isn't typical.

"Well they didn't show it because Stannis was well loved and respected"-- Rob Stark, much? Ed Stark much?

The only thing that makes sense to me about his death is if it was a fuck you to the actor or they went to reshoot it and the actor didn't want to. They put an emphasis on EVERY major character's death. Showing the fucking weapon going INTO the body on many occassions. The one guy who everyone thought had an actual chance of ruling Westeros dies and they go "nah, showing Brienne chop his head off is too icky!"

Does. Not. Compute.

I honestly just can't find it in me to give a shit that they didn't show him being decapitated. It's insane to think he survived, though. This isn't the Walking Dead where they keep trying to fake you out and nobody's dead unless you see it happen.

The only presumed character I can think of that might still be alive is The Hound

You're drunk at 10 in the morning? Impressive. Even earlier if you're farther west in the US.

You guys can't see ips? I was drunk while stranded in hong kong after a 13 hour diverted flight because san Francisco is the worst city in the worst state in the union.

I'm still stranded here but less drunk, trying to get home to japan.

Love you guys doubling down on retard.

Stannis is still alive because instead of showing it, they cut away to a different characters face while playing the sound effect.

Sansa is still a virgin because instead of showing it, they cut away to a different characters face while playing the sound effect.

FUCKING EPIC.

The fight choreography was miles better than the sand snakes shit. I thought they portrayed Dayne admirably. He got backstabbed by a rogue with low hp after he popped invis. Reed is a dirty faggot. RIP Sword of the Morning. Truly epic the way he shitted on all them dudes. He should of maybe surveyed the battlefield before going for killshot but like Bran mentioned he got stabbed in the back which is dishonorable and wholly unexpected, especially after the high of combat and all of the kills he got.
