I don't really see how the Aftermath episodes are padding. They usually continued plot lines in the show, such as the whole gwent drama thing, expanded on what the characters were up to after being eliminated, and they had their own plotline in both of the seasons they appeared in (Geoff's sadism in TDA and Bridgette cheating in TDWT)
