I wonder if Stannis is really dead.
I wondered that too, but what is the point in him being alive? He lost his daughter, wife, and army. He is only good for supporting some other person wanting the thrown.
I wasn't wondering it because the show has shown every beheading and death in gruesome full detail. Of course he's alive.
I'm a little annoyed at all the death cliffhangers. Are these people alive or dead?
-Arya
-Jon Snow
-Stannis
-Sansa
-Theon
-Myrcella
At least some of those people have to actually be dead, right? Having all of them alive would just be too gimmicky.
well it's a tried and true GRMM gimmick so
Yes I know, but surely they wouldn't apply the same gimmick to six characters and events in a single episode. Would come across as tacky and lazy writing. At least two of those people are dead, dead. My guess would be Myrcella and Stannis*.
If Stannis is still alive, then Brienne is likely dead.
