speaking of the Lord of Light. Are Milesandre and the new Red Woman even aware of each other? Given both women thinking two different people are the promised one, it doesn't seem like they are "talking" to the same god.Typically (pretty much w/o exception... i can't think of any), members of the same faith are in agreement concerning who the messiah figures are.
At the very least this means one of them (most likely Melisandre) is full of shit and making things up as she goes.
Basically it's a matter of interpreting the signs, Mellisandre thought the signs pointed to Stannis (and now thinks they point to Jon), while this new girl thinks they point to Dany.
so, they're guessing. i mean, they're deriving power from something/someone, but it does't appear that either of them have any facts to guide them.
in that regard, it's like any other religion.

oh, and did Mira(sp?) use the dragon glass Sam gave her to make a bunch of weapons? if so, is that now lost? I don't think she had anything with her when escaped with Bran.
also, this show has received crap (rightfully so) for some terrible fight choreography, but i really loved Arya's fight scene. i thought that was well done.

I'm wondering why they thought creating immortal creatures who could raise the dead to do their bidding was a good idea. I mean, they had to have seen how it could get out of hand.
its probably all an ass-backwards nonsensical version of what the books will eventually reveal.
