I sort of thought of this thread as a place to discuss anything and everything so we don't spoil the story for folks who haven't read the books. So generally a place to talk about anything that should have been in spoiler tags in the other thread
I don't like the Melisandre/Stannis change. I've always pictured Stannis as doing what is "right" regardless of the consequences. Davos saved Stannig during the siege and was made a knight yet Stannis still chopped off the ends of his finger; Stannis is fighting to be king because he knows he is the rightful heir even though he has little to no support. Yet here is having an affair? It just seems so out of character and seems to violate the character I know from the books.
