Here's somthing that really bothered me about the season. Stannis Burning Shireen, and here's why. It can possiably happen the way it does in the TV series as it does in the book.

If Stannis does indeed die at the Battle of Winterfell, then he has absolutly no hand in the sacrifice of his daughter, as Shireen, Selyse and Melisandre are all still at Castle Black and the show pretty much just threw his character under the bus.

On the other hand, if he does in future books order his daughter to be burned as a sacrifice, then he would have to get back to his family at some point later in the books, meaning coming what ever, he should surive the battle of Winterfell.

What they do in the show pretty much was not nessecary, making his character far more sinister than he has yet to ever be shown as in either the book's or TV series.
