Overall entertaining episode. Story was crafted for Shireen to be burnt the whole time. Horrible. Enjoyed the Harpy scene and the dragon although confused as to why the Harpy killed Hizdahr

Because the Director didn't read the books.
Still did not make much sense - I thought they also suggested in the show that he was part of if not the leader - I could be wrong

Well, he wasn't exactly their leader, but he was the head of one of the great houses of Mereen. So kinda like a Kardashian.
They probably killed him for being a collaborator and insider with Daenarys instead of being on their side.

Uggghhh...
I hate how Stannis went from a hard but principled leader into an anus.

To set this up, somehow the best military commander in Westeros had his entire supply line destroyed by a psycho with 20 men - perfectly logical.

Or some of the most elite soldiers in Essos are easily killed by a mob of rich people with short swords. And the beloved common people that outnumber them 10:1 don't want to get involved.
Well, Ramsey is an omniscient supervillain...

It's not. But the weather was the perfect storm (no pun intended) for defenses to be less than ideal, especially when the majority of Stannis' army is made up of sellswords who aren't used to life in cold climates.
What was illogical to me was how the camp could go up in flames so quickly when there's icy conditions everywhere. The amount of accelerant needed to accomplish that would require way more than 20 men to transport and deploy.

They've been storing Gelignite to use for just such an occasion.
If what I think is going to happen actually happens, Im done with the show.

Would recommend you re-think that - some things are not as final as they may seem

If it is something that actually happened in the 5th book, then I imagine its such a major thing, they at least have to make it happen....or at least make it seem like it will happen. If we are thinking of same thing, I'd say the last episode set it up.

The stare and walk away last episode combined with Sam's talk with the little f%&ker has me convinced.
Im tired of them killing the only characters I like. If they kill him, there is only one character left(Tyrion) I like. Im not watching an hour of TV for just for his 5 minutes of screen time each week.
JC, if they kill him and bring him back to life thats just ridiculous.
