I did a jig when they grabbed cersei cuz I hate her. When she revealed her strategy of empowering the church I remarked that she was letting something out of the bag that could end up coming back on her. I'm glad I was right. Still, I think the threat she made at the end of the show will ultimately be carried out.
Almost happy

i also like how the show might be spoiling the books for people now lol
Not in any really significant way yet as far as I can remember but there will obviously be a lot of that in next season unless the book gets done in time. Although at the same time the books contain three times as many storylines and characters so there's a lot of things the show won't ever really spoil. Shireen is still alive in the books so that could be a spoiler from the show, but her situation is pretty different in the books so I'm not sure.

Yeah I largely agree, changing something isn't inherently bad. There have been some changes I've disliked in the show and some changes I've loved, but I haven't ever disliked something because it wasn't exactly word for word lifted from the books. They're told in different mediums by different people, some change is inevitable and necessary.

Well Stannis was never going to be king, and I'm not so sure that he's dead yet anyway. You never actually saw him die and GoT isn't exactly the kind of show to avoid showing someone unambiguously dying when they are killed off. I think Brienne might be interested in keeping him alive since he's like the only person who could clear her name from killing Renley.
Jon is definitely dead but he'll probably come back anyway. Melisande showed up like 1 minute before he got stabbed and we've seen red priests bringing someone back from death before. I just think there's still too much stuff Jon needs to be around for in some way or another that him dying at this point would just be shoddy storytelling.

This story often makes you hate or love someone right before bad things happen to them. Stannis burns his daughter and loses everything, Cersei is a cunt and ends up bawling and smeared with feces, Theon's betrayal and terrible torture, etc so I feel strongly that the watchmen who betrayed Snow will meet terrible deaths. We're all going to love seeing them covered in wights.

I think most/all of the remaining watchmen are pretty fucked regardless of the white walkers. I mean Jon was basically the only guy the wildlings even vaguely respected/trusted and they killed him for the act of bringing them through the walls. And there's what, 5000 wildlings and 50-ish watchmen? It wasn't a terribly smart move on their part.
