Myrcella is heading back to King's Landing just as it's plausible that Cersei confesses her sins to the Sparrows. Everybody remember the season five opening?

Joffrey, Tywin. Cersei certainly isn't faring too well.

A great setup for the battle of "I don't care who wins I just hope they all die" in the finale I guess.

Well, she saw some vision of Davos' utility after he released Gendry. So no doubt it does not work in Davos' favor, given that utility is most frequently defined in terms of flammability and/or blood loss.

Not much thought process? This death has basically been foreshadowed since Season 3, possibly before that.

My guess is either Brienne, Davos, or Melisandre at this point.

"Worth it," but to whom?

What's more, he's destroyed his family for a cult for which he is not even a true believer. It's just a really expedient path to power.

it's all good, he washed his hands

too soot

I agree with this, to an extent. Stannis is a pragmatist (mean-to-end, etc.), but I think he is also duty-bound, at least to the point that he can delude himself that his actions are justified by what procedurally must be and not his own ambition.

Ramsay kill Stannis? Hell no. There's a badass just outside Winterfell with a personal vendetta and a Valyrian sword, and to have Stannis pay for his sins against his own family would be much more thematically satisfying.

I think Arya is more of an unpaid intern.

Not to mention winters here seem not to be seasonal but rather last for varying inordinate lengths of time so to march back to Castle Black is to basically give up the campaign for an unknown number of YEARS.

"Unnecessary" is shorthand for "I personally wished for some other outcome"

Davos is really Stannis's Jiminy Cricket. You know, if Pinocchio chopped off Jiminy Cricket's fingers.

"If anything, the fact that the woman is handling her degradation better than her male counterpart is an arguably feminist stance."

I believe that Jaime transferred his sword to Brienne, so unless he has another Valyrian blade lying around, I don't think that's the case.

so agency = not getting raped
