[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The violence in the show generally hasn't bothered me, even if it does seem kind of excessive.  I expected Sansa's rape, and (hearing about) the uproar over it surprised me.  But Stannis burning his daughter definitely, definitely bothered me a LOT.  Not sure if it was the intent of the show's writers/creators, but Stannis and his wife are now irredeemable characters for me.[/quote]

Upon hearing her daughter's cries, his wife tried to stop it but was held back [/quote]

Too little, too late.  Is that how hard you'd fight to keep someone from burning your child alive?[/quote],

No need to get personal. Is it possible for DCUM to have one forum without engaging in all the nastiness?[/quote]

OMG. I'm the PP, and my comment wasn't a personal attack in any way (how could it be, when I have no idea whether the poster of the previous comment has children or not?).  It was a rhetorical question meant to drive home the comment that immediately preceded it.  In other words, I was implying the exact opposite of what you suggest: that ANY sane parent - including the prior poster if he/she is a parent - would be kicking, screaming, and fighting to the death to save their child from that fate.[/quote]

New poster here -- I did not see a personal attack there.  Just a rhetorical question.  And I agree with the rhetorical question, that was hardly how a mother would fight to save her child from the flames.

I also think that Stannis' troops are going to be very unsettled in the long term by the prospect of his having killed his own child in this brutal fashion, whether he justifies it as a religious action meant to save them or what have you.  A lot of those soldiers must have families of their own and must have been greatly affected by that sight.  I can't imagine that in the long term they would not be spooked by that whole scene.
