As for the episode definitely worth the wait although next time I'm going to go with a bacon cheeseburger instead of waffles. Disappointed with Littlefingers end, although it's a testament to his character that it more or less took an all seeing Bran for his deceptions to finally catch up with him. That was one outcome he just couldn't plan for. Still he's the puppet master and the catalyst to the entire show, his manoeuvring and manipulation were the backdrop of all that was strong about the show. The scheming I felt was going to have a big pay off, both Tyrion and Varys felt he was the most dangerous man in Westeros and although i haven't read the books I wouldn't be surprised if he stays alive when GRRM writes the next ones . This death felt too much like a typical Tv show death which is something Got used to be famous for subverting. Brilliant character but an extremely disappointing end, although a tad predictable ,he had no real place in the way they've taken the show which is a shame given how much he encompassed everything which made the show great.
Also speaking of Varys did he have a single scene? Conleth Hill is a fantastic character and it's a criminal underuse of him, hell did he even appear? Think I might have seen him on the boat..not sure though.
Cersei is fantastic but this show has many great actors it truly is a shame that the machinations of them all have been reduced and we get a core 5 with extremely poor material. It's cheapened the show although the finance poured in to it means the visuals will stop it truly descending in to a shit show. Especially more like the marvellous bringing down of the wall, the ice dragon was utterly ridiculous and splendid all at once. Meh bit all over the place in my views it's such a different show to what it was but I still love it.
The Jon/Theon scenes were a bit weird and forced. I like his arc but he feels out of place.
Tad bit miffed we didn't get a Jon/Arya reunion and that they're dragging out his parentage reveal. It's been too long. The Euron twist did get me although it was obvious in hindsight just seemed like a pointless move from Cersei unless they start bringing across the East to fight the Walkers, I do wonder if Essos knows about the white walkers or if they have there own. The Hound a highlight as always. I really need to read the books although I kinda want the fecker to finish writing them so I can read them in one go. The requisite build up and nuance all th way through I'm sure would be a delight to read.
