Overall, I think the one word that comes to mind is "meh" . It is becoming more and more obvious that HBO's writers don't have anywhere close to the level of talent as GRRM. With that said....
-They sure moved Tyrion's storyline along quickly. He is now ahead of what Martin has released. I don't anticipate much in the way of spoilers, for readers, since Dani and Tyrion were not even in Mereen at the end of Book 5. Both stories have taken different paths now.
-The Sansa part was boring. Watching Ramsay treat her poorly was like watching Joffrey once again. They are obviously setting Reek up to remember that he is Theon and to rescue her.
-Looks like Sam will be staying at the wall. I guess it makes sense to cut out the Citadel storyline, and keep someone we care about at the wall.
-Why would Jon not take Ghost with him? Makes zero sense.
-The Cersei parts were pretty close to the books.
-The Dorne parts were cheesy, but one of the Sand Snakes suddenly became much more interesting.
-Along that line of thinking...HBO had the perfect chance to let Dani show a bit of skin last night. But worked hard to make it not happen. Anyone else think it is strange that she was nude throughout most of season 1 but not since? I mean it is not like she has anything to hide, anymore.
