It makes sense. He looks at Melisandre quizzically as he slowly dies, and she says, "I saw the hero in the fire, but it wasn't you. You were always a useful tool, nothing more." It makes viewers happier because after his cold-blooded betrayal of his daughter they can't like him. I thought he was decent until last episode. A hard ass, but still fundamentally decent and fair.

We will probably see little of Dany in the next episode, and maybe little of Jon. King's Landing will be the focus, and Winterfell, I believe. If you look at the trailer it's a big Sansa moment, a big Stannis moment, Cersei in jail, a brief clip of Tyrion and Jorah and an overvoice "You betrayed her!" by Tyrion, and Sam asking Jon "So what are you going to do?"

Am I the only one who really doesn't care much about the Arya storyline? It was cooler in the books. Also, because I really want to see the Dany, Jon and Winterfell scenes advance I get irritated when I see King's Landing, Dorne or Braavos. It wasn't like that early in the season but it's like that now.
