Didn't Stannis already kill his brother?
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Technically, his shadow killed Renly. It's unclear exactly how much Stannis knew about how that was going to happen -- my impression is that he had some idea, but chose to not ask about the details. And that was in the context of war -- Renly was challenging his claim to the throne.

Yeah, but that's my point, Renly was in the wrong in Stannis' mind. His getting killed was on a par with Davos losing his fingers. Just.

Yeah, I'm not sure how much Stannis knew about what Melisandre was planning to do with the shadow baby they made. That said, I also think he'd definitely chalk Renly's death up to a casualty of war. I mean, had they met on the field of battle and Renly not surrendered to him, I don't doubt Stannis would've cut him down if he'd had the chance. That falls in line with who I thought he was. Killing Shireen, though. I mean, she's not an enemy combatant. She's not a criminal. She's not even an adult. She's a child and his daughter and he loved her (I never got the sense that he cared much for his brothers). That's cold, man.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Stannis was actively at war with his brother, wasn't he? Killing him seems par for the course.

Well, Stannis going by Stannis's rules would have killed him on the battlefield, not in his tent.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You know how, two episodes ago, when Shireen asked "Are you ashamed of me?" and he gave that long impassioned story about saving her from greyscale? I turned to DH at the end and said "You know, he didn't answer her question."
Shithead.
