Stannis probably no longer has a head so it would be problematic. He was "terminated" a little fast but then, isn't that how it really is? People don't die after finishing their thing, especially not in war. Their trajectory is cut short, abruptly. They get up intending to go to bed in the evening after a good day's work but this time they don't. True. But in a story I expect a more satisfying end to such a lengthy subplot. I assumed he would lose at some point, and I always thought Brianne would probably kill him (because they kept reminding us of her desire for vengeance) but to just have him fail and die after a battle we didn't even actually see felt anti climactic. I'm guessing his storyline was really just an elaborate way to set up the Red Woman, and her role will ultimately be far more important than Stannis. I would have simply settled for a "what have I done?!" moment after he failed. Maybe some remorse/regret about his family. But we didn't even get that. Stannis is still not dead in the books though it seems likely that he will die in the books too. |
