Remember Davos was all like: "That shadow, it looks like STANNIS!"Interesting were they went with Stannis and Melisandre. They had strangely close relationship in the books but there never was any particular indication they were fucking other than spending a lot of time alone together. Its also a bit out of character for book Stannis to be doing anything extra-marital.
Also, I agree with Bean about the relative weakness of the characterisation of the Eastern cities compared to the Westerosi ones, but I don't think it's racism, just laziness. I get the feeling that Westeros was based on Georges understanding of European history, and he doesn't have a similar understanding of Asian/Middle Eastern/ African history.
I got that she was doing something with Stannis to create the shadowchild but figured she was doing something to drain him somehow. I didn't make the leap to sexy-time magic ritual for that to happen, which didn't really fit with Stannis' MO.
