What are the chances that Marcella will become a zombie? Couldn't they still introduce it next season? I doubt Littlefinger will follow through with that plan, at least not without the help of various Northern Noble houses that want the Starks back in power. He was probably just keeping his options open, plus he is busy with the faith militant right now.

Does anyone think that Stannis could have easily defeated Bolton if he made peace with Mance, rather than killed him?
-
Given that wolves don't have very large brains compared to humans, how does that affect the inhabiting spirit's cognitive ability?
-
It can't be dumber than LOST, that's impossible. Even if it ends in all the purgatory nonsense, it's already many times a better show.
-
Nonsense. PEI has 1 MP per 34000 people. Ontario has 1 MP per 115000 people.
-
Here is a veto: Give every province the option to leave Canada if they don't like it. Or maybe it was just because everyone else at the time had a senate and the upperclass wanted extra representation via the senate.
-
Always with these 'do you understand?' questions; it's getting tiresome. You really want to believe that I don't agree with you because I don't 'understand' your position. I understand your position just fine, I just strongly disagree with it.
-
No I don't. I have never consented via Social Contract to recognize the moral authority of 'the crown'. What should be != what is. What is legal is not necessarily what is moral. Laws should have a logical or moral basis to begin with, then you wouldn't need to come up with all this nonsense about 'us' signing contracts (before we were alive) or consenting to an arrangement via 'social contract' to justify this unjust nonsense. With respect to the senate, the current arrangement is unjust (ex. PEI getting far more representation per km^2 or per capita than BC), so it should be changed.
-
And the Crown is not me, or you, or anyone alive today. This argument that we cannot change anything because we signed contracts is nonsense because no one alive today consented to any of these 'contracts'.

Stannis did not have a good day. Wakes up, oh yeah I killed my daughter yesterday, all our siege weapons are destroyed and we have no food. Sir, half your army has deserted you. Sir, all the horses are gone. Sir, your wife killed herself. Sir, the red priestess has left us. Gets outnumbered by cavalry in an open field. Gets a bunch of injuries from fighting. Gets killed (maybe) by the king's guard of his brother. Maybe Jon has to die because they need the Wall and most of Westeros to fall to the white walkers so that it will be more epic when Daenarys comes and saves to day? Or maybe he'll be resurrected by the red priestess and/or white walkers? Maybe his uncle is one of the white walkers? They jumped into a bunch of freshly fallen snow, they will be fine. I've jumped off buildings into large snow banks before without injury. It failed and they didn't predict Ramsey being crazy. Though Sansa did gain information & Theon. My guess is that they'll try to get back to the vale (though Ramsey will hunt them). Petyr has lots of back up plans though, but currently has to deal with the faith militant. He was tricked by the red priestess, I guess. Maester Qyburn is her primary ally right now, which is interesting. Qyburn certainly has a lot to gain from all of this.

Why would they help her? She will probably become their prisoner/slave.
-
I'm not so sure. There is a good chance that Melisandre is misinterpreting her visions from R'hllor because she wants to believe that Stannis is Azor Ahai. I could see overconfidence by Melisandre/Stannis leading to their downfall. Though I think more likely is that Stannis barely wins, but Roose flees to the Dreadfort, and there conflict will continue. I doubt it will just be a single battle and then one of the two is victorious.

Muslims in Toronto preaching disturbing things.

The person you describe sounds like a hardcore Wahhabist. Do Wahhabists make up the majority of Muslims worldwide? No. Do Wahhabists make up the majority of Saudi Arabia, ISIS or Al Queda? Yes. -
Many of societies problems resemble problems in the TV series/books.
-
Except we didn't sign contracts. The people who did are long dead. Can I sign a contract that forces my (hypothetical) kids into slavery?
-
Btw, fan theories are funny.
-
So is the last episode going to be a battle between Stannis and the Boltons, or a trial in King's Landing?
-
Let's see. Preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law" I'm not sure if I recognize the existence of God, let alone the supremacy. But I guess it expresses my will because On Guard for Thee says so.
-
How is proportional representation not enough oversight? In the USA, they have too many 'checks and balances' and can't get anything done.
-
Exactly, so just abolish it.
-
Because it helps point out inconsistencies and double standards. Stop grouping all men and all women together. Millennial women in urban areas out-earn millennial men in urban areas.
-
So if Northern Ontario decided to separate and become a new province, now Ontario + Northern Ontario is entitled to twice as many senators? That doesn't make sense. The equal number of senators for every state/province is dumb regardless if it's Canada, Australia, USA, or whatever.
-
I've also heard people refer to the Prairie provinces, as a region distinct from BC. So the West should be 2 regions. Also, according to your above statement 'central Canada' is a region, yet in the senate it is 2 regions (Ontario + Quebec). It's arbitrary. Stop lying to yourself.
-
And is based on these arbitrary 'regions'.
-
British Columbia has over 163 times the landmass of PEI and over 31 times the population of PEI. Yet only has 6 seats to the 4 of PEI. Doesn't seem very balanced.
