  1. I haven't gotten this sense from watching the show.  We really haven't seen him in combat much, unless I'm forgetting something.  His main power comes from his willingness to torture to gain psychological control, but even that is unraveling now with his most tortured victim. The only reason the guy hasn't ended up dead is because he has a powerful father.

    I think the "20 good men" scene where he managed to own a great military general (with zero military experience) and incenerate all of Stannis' supplies with zero casualties was ridiculous. There are memes  of that line now. 

     

     

     

  2. Guess we gotta wait until next season to get confirmation on Stannis. But I'm holding out hope that the writers didn't really allow themselves to end it as fucking gay as they did. Stannis loses a battle and somehow, some way, Brienne of  Campaign Feminism just manages to catch him near death to finish him off and secure her goal of avenging a homo who one danced with her and frankly had no business declaring himself King. 

    First the Hound then Stannis.

    Amazing warrior that busybody is.

  3. ​lol WTF are you talking about?  I clicked on the link, and I commented.  Sorry I wasn't glued to my iphone in breathless anticipation of your response. 

    It's just a show.  Relax and enjoy it.  We are getting super nerd novels on HBO with a big budget and special effects.  Martin himself is responsible for many deviations because of how awful the storytelling was in books 4 and 5.  If they were shit to read at times, imagine trying to show that shit on television.  The show isn't perfect, and it steps on a lot of nerd toes, obviously, but it's fun and awesome in its own right and we are pretty lucky to get what we are getting.  Too bad you couldn't right the show so we could see Tyrion sitting on a boat for weeks on end, and the always exciting "Young Griff" plotline and other shit that was just a total waste.  If the show writers go too far sometimes I'm fine if overall this train keeps rolling.  Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

    Legal is 6'3 (foot taller  than Oman) so oldschool would have to be 6'6 for this to be realistic but y'all get the point.

  4. What they did with Stannis in this last epidode reminds me of what David Chase did with Tony Soprano in the 2nd half of season six. Made you go from pulling for the guy to despising his existence and hoping he gets his ass sawed in two. It fucking sucks because I like Stannis the character and Stephen Dillane the actor, but they probably made the character damn himself to prepare you for his demise and exit from the game.
