Observations and questions:
- Davos has more chapters in ASoS than I thought he did.
- He’s also older than I thought he was. :P I should have known that.
- Why is it that I can’t help but imagine that Alester Florent has the voice of Alan B’stard?
Opening your eyes is all that is needing. The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true. Look with your eyes.

So I kind of jumped at this moment. I’d read it in the book, of course, and I knew it was going to happen, and I knew that it was going to happen the second before, and it still caught me off-guard.
When this show does things well, it does them really well. That is why I will keep watching it.

Does this mean he is always ETHICAL?
No. In fact, most of what he does is in no way ethical.
But he does his damndest to follow the letter of the law, no matter the cost.
Concepts that can be applied to the law in general. Are the laws in an inhumane regime necessarily moral or ethical? No. That’s like, day one, chapter one of an intro to law class. Not even chapter one. It’s usually in the introduction.
Though it does make a good case for introducing courts of common law in Westeros.
ALSO I MUST HAVE BEEN HALUCINATING
BECAUSE THE KING AND QUEEN IN THE NORTH DEFINTELY DID NOT GET MARRIED IN THE NAME OF THE SEVEN
Well, what can you say. He’s his mother’s child.
Weirder still…do they worship the Seven in Volantis? I know they have R’hollor.
Well, I think it’s because they’re in the middle of a camp, and there’s probably no heart tree nearby, and in southern Westeros it’s easiest to find a septon, rather than a priest from a different religion.
Come on, I bet they could find Thoros of Myr if they tried. XD You do bring up a good point, but it does seem strange that they wouldn’t have a religious leader (I don’t know what you’d call a priest of the old gods) hanging around so that they could at least do a makeshift ceremony. Even in a military camp, that seems like it would be a necessary thing. If you’re a Jewish couple and you live quite far from a synagogue (an unlikely example but possible), you’re still going to call in a rabbi, read the same prayers, and get married under a chuppah.

I wouldn’t say he was a villain.
But um..
WHAT HE DID WAS NOT COOL.
But to be honest, judging by how they’ve handled some of the women, I think D&D might think she “had it coming”.
I’d say that would work better in context. Mostly because you had Stannis complaining about how he killed his brother and lost a whole ton of men in the battle when she said he would win and aaaaangstangstangst. Unless we are meant to take that Stannis is just refusing to see things from Melisandre’s perspective, that any sacrifice is worth the final victory. It’s either the OP’s title, your interpretation, or “Stannis is a huge child.”
Also, please say I’m not the only person who expected him to crack something in such a way as would have killed her, only for her to calmly take his hand off her neck like it ain’t no thing and be perfectly fine.
