for your second question, I don't really care for the way they deleted so many of the major houses and players. It's very transparent and it indicates that they had no idea how to resolve the plots they started. The bombing of Baelor's Sept is perhaps the most egregious example of this, however not much higher up on the list is Ramsay offing Roose to make sure the Boltons are completely evil and can't be rooted for, Littlefinger being reduced to a pathetic sideline schemer, and Varys being reduced to a bald, frowning guy with nothing interesting to say.
