Every season it’s episode nine that blows your mind.
Season 1, episode 9: Eddard Stark is beheaded. Season 2, episode 9: Battle of Blackwater. Season 3, episode 9: the Red Wedding takes place where Robb Stark and most of his family are murdered. Season 4, episode 9: the Battle at Castle Black where wildling and Jon Snow’s love interest Ygritte is shot down by an arrow. Season 5, episode 9 is no different.
*Spoiler alert*
The latest episode of Game of Thrones has a heartbreaking twist. Stannis Baratheon shows his cruel side as he tragically burns his daughter Shireen alive to Daenerys Targaryen’s spectacular escape with help from her dragon Drogon. The penultimate episode as always did not disappoint and Twitter was not happy with the cruel turn of events.
“Game of Thrones” showrunner Dan Weiss told Entertainment Weekly saying, “Horrible things happening to people in this show, and this is one that we thought was entirely [narratively> justified. It was set-up by the predicament that Stannis was in. It will be awful to see, but it’s supposed to be awful.”
Your fans are unhappy George R R Martin.
And that is how to train your dragon. #GameofThrones
