Well we have five more episodes, so I think we may get a battle between Stannis and Roose after all, along with that thing which happened with Jon at the end of ADWD. Also, the scene with the fighting pits will likely make its way to the show.
But for those expecting action similar to the Red and Purple weddings, welcome to the disappointments of Books Four and Five

true, the taking of Griffin's Roost by The Golden Company wasn't exactly as big a battle as The Whispering Wood.
There are some good moments in books 4 & 5, but they're not always action packed. No big battles, though we do get The Pink Letter which implies the results of a big battle, and the seeming start to the battle of Meereen (with bleepin' Ser Barristan leading the defenses)
Jamie & The Blackfish at Riverrun.
Brienne and her encounter with Rorge and Biter
Areo Hotah, Darkstar, Arys Oakheart and what happens with Myrcella and Arianne
"Egg, I dreamed I was old," was a touching final line for one character.
The end of AFFC where Jaqen reappears
Ser Barristan vs Khrazz
Melisandre telling Jon Snow, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
"Edd, fetch me a block."
The scene at the pit fighting arena where Dany is spirited away
The chapter where Quentyn meets the dragons
The Walk of Shame
The partial redemption of a terrible person
And, of course, "For the watch" at the end of Book 5, and several I'm probably missing.
Idk, if they stick to the books exactly, the viewership will be down, IMO. I've been watching this season while doing laundry, that's how much it's lagging.
Does'nt the daughter of Stannis have greyscale on her cheek? If so, why has'nt it progressed and made her a human rock and crazy?
Yes, she has has greyscale. She got it as in infant from a doll. In last week's episode, The Sons of the Harpy, Stannis tells his daughter how everyone told him to send her to the ruins to live out her days with the stone men. Instead he had every healer and apothecary come and try to heal her. They were able to stop the greyscale from spreading and saved her life.

In the books, greyscale isn't always fatal, if caught quickly and carefully managed. In A Dance With Dragon, Jorah is not exposed to the disease, Jon Connington (a character not in the TV show) gets it after he saves Tyrion from the stone men. Jon C. gets it on one of his fingernails; and takes to wearing gloves to hide it, and hopes that he will have five years left (if I remember correctly). Tyrion, who is exposed to the disease, is told that he will have to check himself carefully and (I think) wash with vinegar every day.
