I wonder how the
siege weapons that Ramsay burned will get fixed by the Lord of Light.

I wonder how the
If that's the reason, they could have had Myrcella sent back with Trystane in the first place.
The main reason is that they needed Jaime out of King's Landing.

I'm gonna be legit pissed if the payoff of all of this is basically the equivalent of "Sunny Day" in Pokemon.

Also, consider Shireen's burning as a reminder, much like Cersei getting locked up. Stannis is not a good man, he never was. This is a man who murdered his own brother without batting an eyelash. If he had to kill his daughter to rule, he would, he can, and he did.
Well yeah, my point is that it wasn't 100% filler, similar to how people argue that Quentyn's chapters will serve a purpose as well.
I know lots of people hated the Riverlands in book 4; but Edmure, Blackfish, and Lady Stoneheart are infinitely more interesting than the Sand Snakes and whatever Brienne is doing.

I'm sure the people who hated the Riverlands stuff would also prefer if the whole show was just mindless action scenes like what happened in Hardhome lol. Jaime getting Edmure to surrender is one of his best character moments.
This is good perspective.

Surprised that some harpies didn't release the other dragons.
I hope Ramsay flays Stannis and it's shown on screen for 10 minutes.
That's how fucked up the story has become.

Maybe there will be no stabbing, they simply imprison Jon and make Allister Lord Commander.
They probably should have burned one limb at a time with a specific request for each limb.
Doh, we totally forgot that Bombadeer Frank loves to store his own Trebuchet in his own tent. Dude loves his Trebuchet to be close to him. LOVES it. @_@

Maybe they'll imprison Jon and then Ollie stabs him during the night.
Don't be ridiculous, Olly will be Lord Commander. Look at the kids resume: potato eater, wildling hater, best archer in his hamlet.
Sansa commits suicide, Arya has sex with Meryn Trant before killing him, sure.

Maybe Ollie burns Jon to revive his parents.
Unless Trystane is some master assassin or politician, I'm not sure how much he will do. Maybe the Sand Snakes if they go with him as a bodyguard unit I guess.
Drogon's CGI was great I don't get the complains.
The fight scenes were absolutely awful though, even Drogon burning those harpys was dumb, they just stand there doing nothing.
But I guess is probably too much to ask for awesome dragon action and fight scenes like in hardhome in the same episode.

Maybe the next episode will open on Jon's corpse, and Sam will hear from a guard about how Ramsay attacked him out of revenge for helping Stannis.
Drogon looked great, the dragon riding compositing did not.
lol
Jon is totally getting shanked by Ollie. The only way it could be more obvious is if Ollie had a sign around his neck saying "I'm going to kill Jon", in all caps and written in blood.

Cliffhanger city coming up.
They're just setting you up for a swerve where Ollie dies defending Jon.

Maybe Ollie seduces Jon and Chris Hanson arrests him.

At least the next book should be out by the next season (lol) so after Shireen dies in the books we can all feel the appropriate emotional weight. Unless GRRM writes in something like "And just as quick as a flash, Ramsay Bolton appeared and burned it all! The seige weapons, the food, all of it! All gone."
It was just the one catapult. No one had the heart to tell Stannis so they invented this whole "multiple siege weapons" lie.
That would make zero sense honestly.
The only way that plot thread even begins to make sense is if she ends up trying to kill Jaime in bed or tries to poison him.
Stannis last words to her felt like they were written by GRRM.
Show Ramsay is going to win the game of thrones. He's unquestionably the strongest character in the show; yes, that includes the Night's King. Show Ramsay is always a step ahead and a step above the competition. Forget the High Sparrow; show Ramsay is the closest thing to a god we've seen. Everyone is his toy.

The only similarity they have is that in the books they both are starting to believe in non-violence and mercy. But show Ellaria kinda ruins even that lol.
The titty scene in episode 7.

The pink letter was accurate and Ramsey already killed Stannis and his army off screen! And then goaded Jon to his death. Nothing is stopping him.
Jon has shown zero sexual interest in little boys so I doubt the show would do...fuck.

Worth it
Well, I just saw the episode and had to make this real quick:
What can I say, they've completely missed the point about Stannis. I've read the posts and watched the Inside the Episode where they say "George told us about this." But, it's rather clear he probably only told them that Shireen dies by burning, not that Stannis actually does it. D&D decided it would add better shock value to do so.
*sigh*
I'll post my other "minor" complaints later.

It was a good scene too. I look forward to more scenes involving her.
