Not sure, I just think he's a shadow of his former self. I want him to be in power.

Stannis didn't cut his fingers for smuggling the onions. He cut off his fingers for ALL of his past smuggling crimes. The onions were simply an act of war in a time of war. He was rewarded for that specific act and never punished.
Stannis is by far the best candidate to rule the kingdom. He is an effective administrator, and that is what's needed most right now. With Kevan dead, there are very few people that could join the small council and actually govern. There are/were people who would be better rulers if they had a competent small council, but whoever takes the throne will pretty much be doing everything themselves at first.
Stannis is the only person who brings the full administrative package. He has experience in economics, administration, laws, and war. No one would be as effective or just as him in the current situation. Certainly, there are situations where people would be more effective rulers because of the support staff they have, but no one has that luxury, and whoever takes the throne will be flying solo for a while.
Stannis/Davos 2015.

DAVOS/DAVOS/DAVOS/DAVOS/LEONIDAS
1. Smugglers should lose appendages but fratricide is OK? Why does everyone absolve Stannis of his repeated series of dick moves? What would the man do to secure his crown? He'd certainly kill his brother (RIP Renly). I don't think that that is an effective tactic for ruling. And I understand that Stannis offered terms, and that Renly had zero claim to the throne. He still didn't deserve to die, and he especially didn't deserve to be killed by his brother. I know that these books are brutal, that people are murdered at weddings, that children are pushed from windows, that sausages are removed from their pair of meatballs, but I'm still not cheering for the people who commit the sins.
2. This guy is by far the biggest dickhead in the history of literature. Move over Judas. I could be biased (I am, I fucking hate Stannis), but I feel that this is an accurate assessment.
3. Stannis should change his name to Saddam HuStannis or BaStannis al-Assad.

^^^LOL, I couldn't resist, I had to post that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Tyrion is the shit! He's my number one favorite character, hands down. He has a good heart deep down inside and really only wants to be loved. He's also clever and ambitious, which I respect a lot. Not to mention the great sense of humor and loyalty to his family (even if it's misplaced in some cases).
I agree with you about Ser Davos. I just love how honorable and ballsy he is. He does the right thing always, even if it means he'll die for it. He stands up to Stannis like no other because he sees how blinded he is regarding Melisandre and her so-called prophecies and predictions.
Dany was a girl I liked at one point. Or maybe I just felt pity for her being so alone in the world and used as a pawn by the ridiculously fat nerd, Illyrio, as well as the crafty Lord Varys. It made me root for her when she started accepting her lot in life as Khaleesi and really tried to make the best of it. I thought it was brilliant the way she handled (tamed?) Khal Drogo and earned his love and respect, even though part of me hated that she had to use sex to do it. In this male dominated world sometimes that becomes necessary. It's the only thing she had at that point.
But now Dany has become pretty arrogant (hubris much?) and in my opinion she's bringing a fuckton of shit down upon herself. She is biting off more than she can chew and is rapidly losing control of everything, including her dragons. So yeah, I can understand why people are annoyed with her because I am too.
My attention is piqued lately by the goings-on of the Dornish. I'm looking forward to seeing how Prince Doran and Princess Arianne's storyline unfolds.
Also, I really want more from the Blackfyres!
God I love GoT. So hungry for more . [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dany is totally responsible for most of the fuckups she gets involved in, but ultimately she's still a child with a heavy burden and overwhelming personal tragedy. I empathize with her I guess... she's a stranger in a strange land. It's hard to adapt to that sometimes and I give her credit for TRYING to do the right thing, according to her own limited judgment.
I like the Dorne subplot as well. Lots of stuff will be happening.
And yeah, I really hope he gets done with The Winds of Winter soon. So many possibilities.
