SPOILER
I think Renly was his turning point, or at least was the first horrific demonstration of what Stannis was capable of in the name of blind ambition. Also recall that he sentenced Davos to death for freeing Gendry, but Mellisandre stepped in to save his bacon..Last edited by Sideshow Spock; May 6, '16, 9:49 AM.Comment

true, but the thing with Renley was a bit different. they were at least rivals and at odds with each other. the fact that he had Davo's fingers cut off for smuggling, after Davos smuggled food to him and saved his life, tells you what a hardass he is

I am hoping that there is a point to introducing the "Iron Islands Kingsmoot" into the show. Those chapters were among the most boring ones in the book A Feast for Crows. The book itself was pretty meandering, almost to the point of being pointless. It wasn't terribly interesting for Brienne and Pod to wander around the Riverlands aimlessly and even that was more interesting than any chapter about the Iron Islands.
The most recent episode of the show has the feel that the Iron Islands was shoe-horned into the script. All of a sudden, Euron Greyjoy shows up and Balon constantly addresses him as "brother". It's just weird, and doesn't feel like that storyline was pre-planned or organically developed.
I am really hoping that the addition of the iron Islands Kingsmoot isn't just a way to pad the show so it can drag on for more seasons than necessary. In general, I approve of the "cut the fat" approach that Benioff/Weiss have been using. I am crossing my fingers that they're not being pushed to add the fat back in.Comment

Agreed, but I could do without the repetitious dialogue between Bran and the 3 eyed Raven, namely all the, "Nooo, why did you bring me back", "You can't stay too long", "I don't want to be here", "You must learn", stuff. Seems like they had the same conversation last nite after flashing back as they did in the previous ep(s)..Comment

Very cool seeing the Tower of Joy show up in Bran's flashback. It will be interesting to see if this leads to the reveal of a very popular speculation of book readers.Comment
