The longer the show progresses, the more Stannis Baratheon comes across as a reincarnation of The Mad King. He's been growing colder by the week, and not just because of the freezing temperatures and arctic blizzards. He's always been a surly character and sacrificing his own daughter is hardly going to make him smile.

After rescuing the Night's Watch from a slaughter on The Wall, Stannis' stock rose considerably with the fans, and he was gradually building up some support for his claim. Unfortunately that's all over and everyone's just waiting for him to fail. Yes, that's right, people are actually starting to want Roose Bolton to win...

If his siege fails, the Boltons could ride out and finish him off, Brienne is lurking, and the mysterious powers of Melisandre could backfire somehow. There's a whole load of options for a Stannis death, will any of them actually play out in the finale?
