ALL HAIL THE TRUE KING!!!!
You can all hate on Stannis and Melisandra...but they get it. They put the war on hold to help the Night's Watch. She is looking past all the petty emotions and seeing the biggah pitcha! Once Stannis is king there will be peace and full attention can be given to the White Walkers. The night is dark and full of terrors, these two are just getting shit in order.
I would maybe feel different but last week's show put things in perspective.

If Davos doesn't kill Mel over this, I will be very disappointed. If I him, not only would I kill her, but I'd cut off Stannis' own fingers and force them down his throat so he can choke on them.

Nope, you burn your daughter alive, you don't deserve to rule. One life for the future. Don't get me wrong...it was horrific and I was really hoping someone would grow some balls and stop it...but it was done with a clear purpose towards the greater good. {Spoiler} (which/witch seemed to work from the next week preview...)

Sometimes, I root for the White Walkers to kill everyone and get it over with.

And while that's true, Stannis needs to lose now. Had he sacrificed her to beat the walkers, sure, that's undertandable, but for a slightly easier road trip... no. He went full Agamemnon, and he needs to die in a bathtub now.

Stannis kind of needed to burn his daughter for the sake of the story. If he didn't, who was the big evil supposed to be? Hidzar was clearly not going to last. Elaria's not really evil, but vengeful. High Sparrow is just a random zealot. Ramsay Bolton is a pea-brained psychopath. Roose Bolton is as compelling as a phone book.

There is a distinction between Book Stannis and Show Stannis for me from now on.
Pretty lame to focus on her grayscale just to set up Jorah's contracting it.
Dany looks like she's gonna win the Quidditch Cup. I'm glad that Hizzdor wasn't the mastermind. He's been presented as too moderate and it would be a bad swerve for him to be the villain, doing a slow clap.

Watching back, I really wished there was more of a push by Doran to show Jaime that indeed, this is his last hope at honor. This is it. If he succeeds, he's brought Dorne back from the brink of rebellion and finally lived up to the life he always wanted and soiled.
For instance, when Jaime says "You have my word." Doran should have pushed him saying "Really now? This from a man who killed one king he was sworn to protect and stole the wife of the next." Pretty much the same rhetoric that the Tully's pushed on Jaime in a Feast for Crows that drives home the point.

Damn Stannis, making me regret choosing House Baratheon in Game of Thrones Ascent!
After that and Daenerys hauling ass and leaving her council to die, I think I'm now firmly on team Jon Snow.

Jon's the only character with a completely altruistic goal. Dany's basically looking to enslave Westeros with her dragons.
