Idunno, I felt the resolution of the battle at the Wall was anticlimactic. After devoting an entire episode to showing how many troops the wildlings had, making it seem like an imminent/unstoppable invasion from the north (again, it was the entire episode), all that jazz, and a simple horse led pincer movement just ends it? Dumb.
The Tyrion bit was fun... but Tywin got shot in the gut and the shoulder... am I supposed to believe he's dead? Bri of Tarth was a decent dramatic fight, but I refuse to be happy about heroic characters not dying just because I'm betting they will die in the future. The most interesting part of the episode, to me, was Varys leaving King's Landing. That actually surprised me. I also expected Shae to be a better person than how she turned out to be demonized, so to me that's another character assassination (of honor before life.) Eh, overall I'm burnt out on the show killing off heroes, I'm kinda glad it's over for the year.
