100% agreed. and while it sucks for Stannis, Mel was indeed shown everything she needed to see to be guided up to north to find Azor Azai.

Stannis was dumb. he really should have found a way to unite with Renly and Rob. Renly maybe might could have been talked down from the ledge.. but maybe not. Baratheons really are stubborn fickle creatures. but yea, essentially 100% agreed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rob + Stannis would have been the match. Had they joined forces and made some headway, there's a chance Renly would have come to his senses. Surely, the timing was off for such a match. Rob's dad was dead, lost track of his sisters, and was vexed by the Lannisters. He also had the Northmen in his ear. Stannis had lost one brother, was betrayed by the other, and was vexed by the Lannister B.S. Plus, he had Melisandre in his ear. And so the story grew.

I was thinking about ASOIAF last night, and the exchanges here, and it is astonishing how many storylines are in play. No damn wonder Martin is so slow. He's probably paralyzed.
