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.

Robin is with some minor lord now, isn't he? I thought Sansa and Littlefinger took him to be an apprentice with one of the Lords of the Vale when they were on their way to Winterfell.

I'm assuming Bran is still hanging out with the Children of the Forest somewhere. Who knows what happened to Gendry. He could've gotten all the way to Braavos himself by now.

I wish they'd let Arya be Cat of the Canals. Has a nice ring to it. Better than Lana of the Canals.

I think Stannis would do anything at this point to sit the Iron Throne and keep it, including ditching Selyse to secure an heir and thereby a clear line of succession, whether or not Melisandre told him to. I feel like a line has been crossed that can never be uncrossed with the killing of Shireen. I mean, he's already murdered his only daughter, whom he loved enough to move heaven and Earth to find a way to cure her Greyscale, so why would he balk at getting rid of the old queen for a nice, fertile, new one, if that's what he thought was necessary to secure the future of the realm? In short, boo, Stannis.

And I thought people could hug, kiss, touch, etc. Shireen because she was "cured" of Greyscale and is therefore no longer contagious. But I could totally be making that up.
