I also felt disappointed that Ramsay's raid was smash hit. Stannis is supposed to be a great military commander. Davos certainly seems capable. Yet, a sneak attack yields 20 devastating fires being set simultaneously. So, Ramsay > Stannis = poor writing.

I was wondering this too, but I noticed a look of satisfaction on Melisandre's face as tents and horses burned from the Ramsay raid. Did she foresee it coming in her flames? and ensured it's success? so Stannis would be forced to react, ala sacrificing his daughter. Just a thought.

I actually believe Ser Davos knew or feared something was going to happen to Shireen.

--He tried to push back on Stannis, and allowed Stannis to give him that piss poor excuse of why Davos had to go as opposed to a messenger

--Davos' gift to Shireen and the endearing scene between the two

--Davos knew. In his heart of hearts, he knew what was going to happen.

I truly hope not, but I fear Davos is a slave to Stannis and nothing will become (by way of Davos) of Stannis' actions. If I'm correct, Davos goes down to one of my least liked characters...

he had to have at least highly suspected. watching him do all the things you mentioned, i felt like he knew, and i wasnt even 100% certain til it had happened. Davos probably left thinking there was no way on earth that Stannis could ever do such a thing to Shireen.

this red bitch claims that she could have saved the day at blackwater with all the wildfire. but you going to try to tell me that shes met her match against a few small concentrated non-wildfire fires? again, great original writing D&D.
