7/10
Just a bad decision to kill off a beloved character

Warning: Spoilers
Well, i'm used to getting my favorite characters get stomped of unexpectedly but in The Dance of the Dragons, I was disgusted at what Stannis did to her daughter. Believe me, I wasn't disgusted when Lord Eddard Stark got his head cut off in Baelor or what happened at The Red Wedding and even the infamous rape of Sansa Stark. But what Melissendre and Stannis did to his daughter can't be forgiven. It's just bad storytelling!! I mean the way he warms to her daughter before sacrificing her publicly, it all disregards what he said to her daughter about saving her in her childhood from being sent to Valyria for having Greyscale. I am always prepared to expect the unexpected but as a fan and critique I was expecting more of Jon Snow and Danaerys in this episode and less of What's been happening around Winterfell. I was expecting Stannis to get killed by Ramsay in the last episode of the season. That would have been a better storytelling.

Well, the Dragons part isn't flawed. I expected more of Castle Black on Jon Snow's return. It is clear from here now that Stannis has sacrificed his only living heir, the Lord of Light may grant what he want, Winterfell. But I'm disappointed with that story. That Story would mean Ramsay Bolton get his much awaited death on the fans' side. I would rather have let Stannis get killed off and Ramsay stayed for Sansa or his half brother Lord Snow to finish that job. And also the Arya part was too lengthy. She didn't finish her assignment nor did she kill Meryn Trent, maybe next episode.
