I should clarify. I think they're taking it in a direction of an unbelievable showdown between great magic and god powers. Walkers vs Dragons, or something of that sort. I wouldn't be surprised if that whole thing gets way more dynamic though, things like some god avatars or something show up. I've thought that Melisandre could be a sort of avatar, or maybe Jaqen. But they are talking about the gods in interesting ways. So much of the mysterious stuff seems to be attached to gods. Like how Melisandre brought the God of Light, and how the wildlings "serve crueler gods than you or I" in reference to something the White Walkers were involved in. Found it particularly interesting when Jaqen said "by the seven new gods and the old gods beyond counting". These references are in an authentic fashion that could just be really damn good writing, but I think are more along the lines of being significant to the story than creating a genuine milieu


Also Bronn killing those two dudes was the best action choreography they've done yet. He's a great character. I think I got him vs Syrio in the finals match now

Wait, I thought Stannis was getting dragged off by the Lannisters. Were those his own men holding him back?
