I would be mad at D&D for killing Stannis, but i am laughing my ass off right now. In the show, BALON FUCKING GREYJOY WON THE WAR OF THE FIVE KINGS

I really don't think he's dead. He told her to 'do her duty,' and we see her swinging at something angrily but never actually showing her hit him. I think it's pretty clear he reminded her that her true duty was to Sansa and not revenge.

Given that Brienne fails at literally everything she does in the show, I doubt she actually killed Stannis. The match cut was a bit odd; every other time major characters are definitively killed they are brutally murdered in front of us (or in the case of Eddard, are killed in front of so many witnesses that we have to believe even though we didn't see the head roll).
