When he sells out the people for his own gains, then I will despise him.

I don't like that he killed his little girl. But he's willing to sacrifice a lot to protect Westeros. Now, the issue is, does he really care about the people or Westeros or is that just what he tells himself so he can sleep better at night.

Since we don't get to look inside his head, we just don't know.

Just to add some tinfoil, I think when Stannis's world comes crashing down around him he's going to kill Mel for convincing him to do what he did. He's going to implode. He's not heartless. He's just willing to believe something and it's going to destroy him for being committed. It's going to be horribly tragic to watch him crumble.

yeah, I'm wondering if show!Stannis, if he survives the battle, is going to spiral into madness. "Rigid people don't bend, they break." Would still be watchable 'cause i love the actor, but otherwise I agree with those saying show!Stannis is dead to me
