Speaking of Dany, I'm thisclose to fast-forwarding through her scenes and just catching up with her story in the books. Emilia Clarke's acting is actually pissing me off now.

Between Stannis and Daenerys I don't know who's the worst. Why should I have faith in either of them? Daenerys burns people alive she hates. Stannis burns people alive he likes. Dany by default.

Stannis really is the drizzling shits on the show. He's accomplished nothing on his own. Ned Stark is the one who figures out he's the one with the best claim to the Iron Throne when his brother the king dies. Melisandre kills his other brother and rival for him with her queef smoke monster. Davos convinces the Iron Bank to back Stannis. Jon Snow and the Night's Watch has done all the heavy lifting when it came to defeating/recruiting the Wildlings. Stannis's one chance to prove himself as a general literally blew up in his face at Blackwater. He's the worst. In fairness, there's no way Stannis could have predicted Tyrion's wildfire plot nor could he have predicted Littlefinger sweet talking the armies of the Reach to their side and Lord Tywin being quick enough to mobilize them for battle at the last minute. Hell, Tyrion wasn't entirely sure it would work. As far as Dany goes, I'm not sure she can properly prioritize herself for ruling. She's so concerned about what happens in Slaver's Bay that it makes it nearly impossible for her to get back to Westeros considering how many resources she's put into cities like Meereen and Yunkai. Not to mention she's shown quite a few instances of being her father's daughter rather than her brother's(Rhaegar, that is) sister. He committed his reserves to the main axis of attack way too soon. Between that and not having a fall back point to regroup for a counter offensive (topography of Backwater bay) and you have a difficult situation you put yourself into. It was an all in attack with no second or third echelon forces or (2nd or 3rd echelon) planning. I commend his try and if it had worked than he is the greatest general since Aegon. What Stannis did was similar to Gen. George Patton's bungled attack on German fortifications near Metz France in mid 1944. By the time they figured out the plan was fouled it was too late and the only option was disengage and regroup.

I'm conflicted. On one hand I can't wait for the big finale. On the other I don't want it to happen, because it means we have another year to wait for more Thrones.

I doubt that it's what we have in store for ourselves, though. I'm thinking it's related to the book thing. {Spoiler}Flashback to when he joined during stabby stabby time

Benjen's return? {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Well, earlier this year, George RR Martin shot down the popular fan theory that he is Coldhands. An undead character from the book who helped out Bran and members of the Night's Watch. So, if they're showing that for the "previously on" that means either:
1. He's alive and well.(Unlikely, but not completely out of left field.)
2. He returns as a White Walker and it's the event that causes Jon to make a serious decision that may cost him his life.(More likely.)
3. It's a red herring and it's simply Jon remembering and them reminding us what it was like when he joined the Night's Watch before he meets the mutiny.(That's what I think.)

If that spoiler is true, will he lose his title as Westerosian hide & seek champion?

If that spoiler is true, will he lose his title as Westerosian hide & seek champion? I would say Rickon has that title, but then I realize that he isn't so much hiding as no one give a crap about him enough to look.

Man, I guess this is all I'll have to look forward to after tonight: I wonder if porn Tyrion is a real dwarf or just a guy on his knees like Dorf on Golf

We know where she is as viewers but no one in the entire 7 kingdoms knows where in the blue hell she is. Eh, if we go by that logic, Bran & Party are probably fair contenders. Granted, everyone thinks they're dead, but still.
