re: Game of Thrones S5:E9:"The Dance of Dragons", BOOK READERS

as soon as Stannis gets anywhere close to where his soldiers can make a clean escape, they will. Stannis was highly unpopular even before Melisandre came into his life. Now he's lit his own daughter on fire. If he does that to his own daughter, think of what he'll do to his enemies. No one will ever follow Stannis after this.

WTF books are you reading? Most of Stannis' men-at-arms are fanatical followers of the lord of light. He sacrificed his daughter to the lord of light. Based on the previews, the weather will break and Stannis will attack Winterfell. I predict we learn the outcome of that soon.

People project their own wants, desires and sensibilities onto these fictitious characters far too often, it doesn't work that way.
