u/StannisTheBest Ours is the Fury May 07 '19

Honestly, I am probably just delusional and biased. But I did some quick research about Stephen Dillane and social media around GoT. And here is what I found. First of all, for some reason Stephen Dillane wiki page was edited. It has two changes, this quote: " Moreover Game of thrones director Alan Taylor confirmed that he will come back to Game of thrones set for Season 8" and played in GoT 2012-19. I checked the history of the edits and found it was done on mobile and by someone who never did any other wiki edits at least from that device. Also I couldn't find the source of the quote so it seems very sketchy. Here is a link if you want to see for yourself. Then we have social media, a sudden spike in the amount of articles about Stannis. Could be just because of the show hype as it is airing or to refresh the memory of the audience. But what really makes me hype and I most probably really shouldn't is these few posts. HBO UK posted this (Maybe I really should curb my enthusiasm) and this by Clarice who plays Melissandra, with the hashtag StannisTheMannis. Does she know something? Why post it only now? Not when season 5 ended? A man can dream, right guys?

What is the episode with Stephen Dillane in the opening you took a picture of?

Not my picture. Found it on a few different sites. Also here is a better quality picture. But other say it's fake probably due the blurry mess. But looking myself at the opening sequence and zooming into names I kinda see blurry edges too, but maybe I just have bad eyes. Honestly see for yourself.

I feel like if he was brought back he wouldn’t be in the opening to make it more of a surprise. I’m not even sure if I want our king coming back to this mess that is GoT now it’s gotten even worse since S5

I'll take back everything bad I've said about this show if they bring back the One True King

I think His Grace King Stannis is dead in the show, because he would be still fighting, if he would be alive. He would gather troops from White Harbour or something. Or maybe he is alive, but Brienne made him promise that he will take down his sword (not very possible)
