This was the episode Game of Thrones died for good, and although people weren't able to see how atrocious their writing was in 2015, thankfully D&D got what was coming to them after season 8.
Some may read this and roll their eyes, because I'm about to say what has been said about this show a million times before - the books are better.
For me and many others, Stannis is one of the most compelling characters in the entire series. A man who breaks before he bends, fights his own wars, and most importantly, would die for his daughter. A quote from Stannis himself:
"I was told you would die, or worse, the Greyscale would go slow and you'd grow just enough to know the world before taking it away from you. Everyone advised me to send you to the ruins of Valyria to live out your short life with the stone men before the sickness spread through the castle. I told them all to go to hell."
If you've watched the episode you should now know all that's wrong with it and how it is a complete assassination of the most interesting character in favour of Jon 'muh queen' Snow and Daenerys 'let's kill a million people for Missandei' Targaryen. Read the books, or just listen to some of Stannis' speeches, like Renly's Peach, and you'll understand although this episode was the nail in the coffin for Stannis' character, he had been wronged for the entire series.
I know GRRM loves Stannis and will give him the ending he deserves, if the books are ever released.
The little actress is good.
5/10.
