1) I'm a bit torn about Renly. I really liked him in AGoT, he seemed to be sensible, smart and overall a good guy. Even his dickish comments about his brother were alright, because we all like to make dickish comments about our siblings. Renly is easy to like, he's nice and sweet and says witty things. But ACoK just showed us what an irresponsible, mean, superficial jerk he is, how he doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself (and Loras), how he's really just selfish and greedy underneath the pretty smiles. I still don't hate Renly, but I can't like him anymore, and it makes me so mad how many people in fandom feel sorry for his death and hate Stannis for it. If anyone in this series had it coming, it's Renly.
2) Only Loras. Their relationship is definitely sweet, and I can't imagine Renly with anyone else.
3) In a perfect world, I wish I could ship him and Stannis as a brotherly bromance after they got over their differences. ;)
4) He had it coming, and I do not feel one bit sorry for him.
5) I wish he had just bent the knee to Stannis. Everything would have been so much easier, and so much pain could have been avoided.
