Re: Season 5 (Spoilers all plus season 5)
I am not a great fan of this season (I feel like it is a filler season).
Still it has a lot of great scenes and moments in it. That is hard to not get with Game of Thrones I guess.
One of the things I have been speculating about is if Shireen is really Stannis daughter. Especially in the show. I was not thinking about that when reading the books, but this season it has really felt that way in the show. Like something was off in the scenes she was in or talked about.
Now it is possible that it was part of the build up towards this moment in episode 9. But I guess the theory still lives as they could have sacrificed Shireen for nothing. Her mother, Selyse, would of course know and I was trying to see if there was any proof of it in the horrible scene. if there was I could not see it.
There is no real proof other then suspect acting and words in the show. The marriage between Stannis and Selyne is suppose to be a loveless marriage and they are suppose to have a curse upon them so that they can not have sons, because Robert Baratheon bedded Selyne's sister in the marriage bed, making the sister get pregnant with a son.
Could Selyne possible have an affair? She is suppose to be very unattractive but I do not see that being a hindrance. The small council of Joffrey I, tries to discredit Stannis by saying that it is the Dragonstone fool and Jester, Patchface (not in the show), that is the father of Shireen. Surely that is not true, but it might be in there as a seed for the truth.
