I am aware that the writers made a minor error in the Inside the Episode featurette, claiming Stannis has been burning people as sacrifices "since he first appeared" when in fact he was only burning idols and only went up to burning men alive in Season 3 -- in the novels, he burned men earlier for stuff, they just moved them around time-wise.

It's really a minor point and I shrug it off; their basic point that "we've seen him burn people alive before, we introduce him burning "something", and it's circular visually" -- I think that basically holds up. Minor quibbling aside. It was just an observation about circular storytelling.
