I'm not able to watch the show yet but have been keeping up with it through spoilers and things. Does someone want to tell me what Stannis did either through a message or a spoiler? {Spoiler}He went full Benoit and had Melisandre sacrifice Shireen to the lord of light by burning her alive

Congrats, Stannis! I haven't seen this many people starting to like a Bolton since this:

I thought Stannis sacrificing his daughter was going to happen for a while now, are people really shocked? I'm guessing this wasn't in the books? Anyway, what went through my mind when it was over was "Ned Stark died for this gullible jackass".

I'm going to see this season through until the end. But after that I'm done. Weiss and Benioff completely jumped the shark.

Thank you for spoilering that for me. I thought it might be that. Did we see Davos's reaction to it? Can't really see him being ok with that.

Well I saw the whole episode before it aired, and according to the writers, George R.R. Martin gave them the idea Well, it's a bad idea. I can't see Stannis ever agreeing to that, and the idea that it appears to actually WORK is more baffling. Where do Stannis and Co. Go from here? In any case, I'm annoyed they finally managed to ruin my favorite candidate for the Iron Throne. At this point people might as well root for The White Walkers to just kill everyone. And George, there's a word for people like you who come up with ideas such as that. Imbecile!

Jamie might as well have taken this season off and hung out with Bran and Hodor.

This idea just came to my mind: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Shireen was burned for her "king's blood." Viewers and fans are shocked this week. However, what if one of the side effects of that act was the revival of Jon when he gets shanked at the wall? That creates a thought-provoking dilemma for the viewer: As bad as the burning was, it brought back the only person who can lead a fight against the army of the dead. So, could you not argue that, in some way, it was worth it? Do the needs of the many end up outweigh the needs of the few, or the one, as Spock would say?

Davos: Where is princess Shireen? Stannis: We sent her to visit my mom & dad. Davos: Your mom and dad are dead. Stannis: We thought she should see their final resting place.

If Davos doesn't kill Mel over this, I will be very disappointed.
