WHAT CRAWLED OUT OF MELISANDRE?!?!?!

As a fan of Game of Thrones I can deal with dragons, White Walkers, and other magical things like that but at the end of episode 4 of season 2 Garden of Bones, when Melisandre gave birth to some weird shadow thing it was too much.

For anyone who doesn't watch the show regularly one of the men competing to be King is Stannis Baratheon, he is the younger brother of the late King Robert. Stannis has a spiritual and romantic relationship with the red priestess Melisandre. In an episode earlier this season she promised to become pregnant and give birth to a son for Stannis so once he becomes King he can have an heir. But the catch for her help was that Stannis has to convert and embrace to her religion and worship R'Hollor. We do not know much about Melisandre's religion other than that it is more violent and different from the other religions of Westeros.

But it is not until this week that we realize how different Melisandre is than the rest of the people in Westeros. In this episode Stannis asks one of his friends to take her to an island to go ashore for a while, so he does so with no hesitation because he figures it must just be to stretch her legs or whatever. On there way over she is very forward and sexual towards him making him uncomfortable then once reaching the island Melisandre disrobes and reveals a completely pregnant belly. So at first I was like that definitely not Stannis's baby, this is awkward, but then she started to give birth to it and instead of a baby she had a shadowish human with red eyes and it flew away in the wind. It honestly took me a few minutes to process what happened because the show is a fanesty and has some pretty out there plot twist but this was too much.

Even though I'm not sure how I feel about this new angle, and by new angle I mean shadow babies. But I will continue watching the show like a true fan and hope that it does not throw anymore curve balls at us. So now we can just sit and wait to see what her shadow baby does.

*SPOILER ALERT *

It kills Renly, Stannis's brother!
