Probably because people thought bran was going to live in a tree or that he'll die since the white walkers are chasing him now.

In the world of westeros Rickon is clearly alive but Bran is MIA so to the nrothern lords loyal to the Starks Rickon is their heir. I'm not sure what your talking about wasting time with cut aways. Why can't Rickon be there while Jon conducts business then he leaves Rickon there when he leaves for battle? There must always be a Stark in Winterfell. Also there's way more for Jon then Winferfell so why not leave it to Rickon.How is he the heir to Winterfell? Bran is his older brother. You could say he's the supposed heir with people in Westeros thinking Bran is dead but he's certainly not in line to rule from a viewer perspective.
I don't see any story for him in the TV show other than them using him as a trigger for us to get angry at whoever kills him. His direwolf is dead. He's not warging. They're just going to leave him in charge at Winterfell when everyone is out fighting Dany and the WW?
It makes sense to kill him off. Jon and Sansa are going to retake Winterfell and Jon will be using Winterfell to conduct the war in the north against the WW. Getting down to *apparenty* 14 episodes left after this season I don't see them wasting precious time with cut aways to Rickon "running things" at Winterfell while the white walkers decend on the north.
I also think it's lazy assuming because you've seen Ramsay kill a lot of people and haven't seen Rickon for two seasons that Rickon must have been brought back as another reason to hate Ramsay. You're drawing incredibly complicated theories for how the rest of the story plays out, but Rickon suddenly can't serve any greater purpose? It's just a coincidence the writers decided to yada yada him going back to Witnerfell? Just to have him killed to give Ramsay another "we hate you!" moment? We hate him plenty already. It'd be waste of a potential primary character.In the world of westeros Rickon is clearly alive but Bran is MIA so to the nrothern lords loyal to the Starks Rickon is their heir.

I wanna know how ya see Rickon surviving his current circumstances. Jon and Tormund gonna pull a special ops mission like Yara and the Ironborn when they tried to rescue Theon?I also think it's lazy assuming because you've seen Ramsay kill a lot of people and haven't seen Rickon for two seasons that Rickon must have been brought back as another reason to hate Ramsay.

Also, all of you are suddenly out on the great northern conspiracy?
Besides Ned Stark name one ward/hostage that was killed in custody on the show?I wanna know how ya see Rickon surviving his current circumstances.

Rickon won't make it to episode 10 lol. Once Ramsey lures Jon into battle, there's no reason to keep him alive. There's a clip from the trailer showing 6 men upside down & on fire during the Battle of the bastards scene. I believe one of them is Rickon.
so with brienne getting sent off by sansa, do you guys think LS storyline is coming?
and someone gotta help bran and meera survive out there, so CH?
I think this might be the case because in the books Brienne hasn't found Sansa or Arya so the situation she was in with LS looked like a tough spot. In the show she was protecting Sansa which was her vow so LS doesn't have a reason to do anything to her. Now Blackfish doesn't know who she is, but they know Lannister gold.Maybe Blackfish takes up LSH's role?
I'm 98% sure Benjen is gonna save the day in the next episode. They're gonna need some help and Benjen's name has come up a few times this season.
