I can totally see Stannis ditching Selyse for someone younger and more fertile if he ever got his hands on the Iron Throne. At this point, is there anything he wouldn't do? I do remember that Miri Maz Dur said that the dragon babies were it for Dany, right? Ain't gonna be anymore human babies. But maybe if she gets with Jon (and he really is a Targaryen like everyone assumes) he and Dany could revive that old incest-y feeling that Ellaria was reminiscing about last night. That's assuming that Jon even survives that long, which is always dicey in Westeros.

[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I can totally see Stannis ditching Selyse for someone younger and more fertile if he ever got his hands on the Iron Throne.
I could see this if Melisandre found some way to get rid of Selyse. I don't think that Stannis would do it on his own.
As for dynasties, hmm. There's really not much of anyone left to inherit the throne, unless Myrcella and Trystane somehow end up there. And Myrcella actually shouldn't be inheriting it, anyway.
I don't think Jon would take the throne, even if it were offered.
I think that greyscale is only contagious from touching the affected part. Otherwise, wouldn't Shireen have infected a bunch of people as a baby? The body part that gets the first sign of it is definitely the part that touched the infected person -- we've seen that twice.
FUCK, Stannis. You are on the list now.
DROGON FUCK YEAH. DRACARYS.
The focus on handholding was weird. Dany is probably immune to greyscale because of her magic dragonblood, but Melissandre might be in trouble.
What was Cersei's line to Oberyn from last season, about how there isn't anywhere that doesn't hurt little girls? This show keeps on proving her right.
Although, now that I think about it, of all the little girl characters we've seen, Myrcella is actually the safest, for now.
Have we just abandoned the Eyrie and Robin? Also, haven't seen Petyr in several episodes.
Also haven't seen Bran all season. Rickon is still missing. Gendry is still rowing.
I wonder why they changed Arya's fake name from the books. I thought that calling her Cat had a lot of resonance.
I could see this if Melisandre found some way to get rid of Selyse. I don't think that Stannis would do it on his own.
There's not much I'd put past Stannis now.
He sacrificed Shireen because Melisandre told him to. At this point, he's not doing much of anything without her direction.
Who was the man that Arya recognized?
Ser Meryn Trant. He's a member of the kingsguard, and he was one of the ones that Cersei sent to grab Arya when Ned was being arrested.
He was also one of the ones that Joffrey had beat Sansa, though Arya doesn't know that. Last she saw him, she was running while he was fighting Syrio.
Thanks, Hil. We usually watch with Victor and thessaly and they remind us of all the stuff we can't keep track of. Maybe I'll read the books after this season ends.
