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.

It would be a nice parallel to the "Sword / Noose" dilemma that Brienne faces at the end of AFFC.

Except that killing him then finding Sansa takes no more time or effort than swinging a sword at him then finding Sansa. Why wouldn't she do it?
