Haha, me yeah I'm weak (I'm not leaving) -- but my wife just went upstairs and she's stubborn in this regard, she's gone.
Maybe this is why GRRM opposes Asoiaf fanfiction. At least he knows where to draw the line.

This is the first time I'm legitimately upset at the show.
I said this back when this was being talked about as a leak, but I bet you D&D have no issue taking a future scene where Selyse and/or Mel burn her and rewriting it so that Stannis does it instead, because oh the drama! I am not going to believe this is something from the books until I see it with my own eyes. I can't believe GRRM got that sloppy with his characterization.

Damn people it's a show not real life. Not sure what you expect. Not the first kids to get burned on the show....
Still sucks but who knows maybe the stone blood will trigger something.
I'm pissed Strong Belwas isn't here.

Maybe Shireen dies. Maybe Mel burns her even. But Stannis? Doubtful. Not without a ton more character development to make him think that way. Especially when he has Theon or Asha to burn if he wants in the books.

Well seeing that Stannis' instructions were to sit her on the Iron Throne in the event of his death I'm guessing no

Oh I'm not leaving. I want to see how bad this trainwreck of a fan-fic goes
So...
Stannis burns his daughter in the book.
In a tough battle, he ends up taking control of Winterfell and ends up taking control of the north.
After he feels like he has gotten control, he goes back to his wife who stabs him in the heart.
Stannis dies.
Agamemnon story retold.

that's the problem with this show. People always act in unbelievable ways.
Don't think Stannis would do that.

Fuck this show poor Shireen, such a sweet little girl just wanted to be loved.
It's the Agamemnon story. I almost guarantee Stannis does it.

Me too.
Normally when they kill character's they do it either because that character making some sort of tragic mistake, or to open up a new plotline.
The only reason this happened seemed to be to make Stannis more unlikable. And not even relatebly unlikable. Just evil.

I'm finding it hard to enjoy this now. Who thought to put that in the middle of the episode?

That might have been too much even for me. Urgh...
Yep. I don't believe for a second that's from the books, but if it is, then fuck the books too.
Damn straight. That /r/asoiaf theory convinced me of that.

That was fucked up. But hey, it's just a show.
The show is the show. The books are the books.

Why is this show always like a long drawn out session at the psychiatric therapist? Every character interacts this way in a patient/doctor dynamic, in every scene.

Melisandre and Selyse will definitely burn Shireen in TWOW; many folks called that years ago. But there's no fucking way Stannis will cosign it.

Why are the Unsullied dropping by flies?
100% agree. Like I said, I think to D&D it's just a matter of how much more SHOCKING it is if Stannis does it.
I kind of wish GRRM would just release Melisandre I from Winds now just to show how it actually goes down, but I'm sure that's way too spoiler heavy.

I've been a show supporter for a long time now. Not blindly. Just in a "It's not as good as the books, but it's still good." way. But that Shireen bit. Goddammit, that's too much. I can't.

Stannis is an insane mad at this point who's mind has been poisoned by religion.
People thought this would happen before the season even started (I personally didn't).

Yup. Irregardless of whether it makes sense or not. These dudes are clowns at plotting and characterization.
