Eh. I want to like Stannis for King (I do find him an interesting character) but I think the part where he lets Melisandre burning the symbols of the two main religions in the land pretty much disqualifies him. That's not good PR, and will also put him in direct conflict with the Poor Fellows if he ever gets that far.

(Not to mention I think it's just not a smart move on his part to rely so much on Melisandre, and shows kinda poor judgement. The fact that he listens to Davos sometimes is better).

Not gonna argue with you there. Melisandre needs to go asap. Then again, I do understand his reasoning - when you have no army, and nobody likes you anyway, you take what power you can get. Even power that comes with side effects is better in that situation than no power at all. I find it very interesting that Stannis only relies on Melisandre when he is in trouble: he only turns towards her for help after Davos returns from the stormlords and tells him they won't support him (prologue ACOK), and after he gains a large part of Renly's army and thereby a way to gain the war the conventional way, he doesn't take Melisandre with him for the Battle of the Blackwater, he sends her away. He only turns back to her after he loses that battle and most of his army, when he, again, has no other source of power. He only relies so much on her because he has no choice. I honestly doubt that he would listen much to her after winning the throne, because he simply would have no need for her anymore.

That's true, though by that point I think she may have already wrought a lot of damage. Basically, he's playing with fire (LOL) in a big way. (Though as a reader I appreciate it, because it's interesting).

But honestly, I think my main reason for not wanting him to be king is his EXTREME devotion to the Westeros ideas of justice and honor, but that's just a personal bias against that kind of character. (I tend towards liking characters whose morals are flexible to the point of extreme fault as opposed to ones whose morals are strict to the point of fault -- hence why Jaime is one of my favorites ever, while Ned Stark bores the heck out of me). But I agree that he wouldn't be as bad as a lot of people think. Not great, but who the hell is at this point?

(Though I'd be generally pro-Stannis being king, killing Melisandre, and listening to everything Davos has to say. That could work out okay. Especially if he allowed Davos, as hand of the king, to handle a lot of the interacting with the every day people -- that might mitigate the problem of Stannis not being very lovable. It wouldn't be my favorite outcome -- though honestly, at this point I'm not sure what would be -- but it might work).

Davos isn't very good for official interactions, though, because the big lords don't respect him and look down on him. I really think Stannis needs someone charismatic and respectable to handle PR stuff, which is why he'd do really well with a queen like Sansa. Margaery probably wouldn't have been a bad choice either, but Stannis and the Tyrells don't exactly like each other. Stannis is more of a Stark person, he always struck me as a Northerner at heart.

True, which is why I hope that she'll either die or get away from him soon. I have this nagging feeling that she'll get him killed.

Well, I love my lawful characters. Not so much Ned, because Ned is all about personal honour and that bores me as well. But I like people who are devoted to justice and order on a larger scale, more so than to personal honour like keeping your word etc. It's why I love Stannis, why I started to love Jon after he became Lord Commander, why I even love Tywin and Roose because they're like the more evil version of them. ;) Characters like Jaime are also fascinating, but I don't want them in any position of power. ;) I totally understand not liking Stannis, I just really wonder why people always think he'd be a bad ruler. Anyway, we've all got our preferences. ^^

:o!!! That's exactly how I feel and I didn't even knew it was possibly because of that *________*!
