Sorry, I only made it through the first eleven pages, so my apologizes if this has already been pointed out: Melisanre told Stannis it is best to slaughter before the prey recognizes terror (obviously paraphrasing). Then why in seven hells would she "agree to a demonstration" while her "prey" is sharting all over himself? However, I loved this episode as whole. Maybe just the comparison to the chamber-pot material GRRM gave us last week makes this one look better. *fingers crossed* for next week to hold up it's end of the bargain.
