yea thats def gonna be the cliff hanger, that or the baby being born either way implications will be the same.

As for the stannis call, its a lot more risky than your end of the season call lol but i like it and could def see it happening, although i think stannis helping out will come if Ned is captured or imprisoned in some way, i highly doubt hes just going to appear during the continuation of the final scene of the last ep but we shall see.

edit- im not this far in the book yet so i do not know at all.
