The last 2 episodes made up for more the whole season for me. Happy with it (except the rush sacking of Winterfell). Was in tears with Luwin in the Gods wood with the boys. Exactly as I imagined it, except for his relief that they were alive.
I think they'll 'whitewash' The Mountain a bit and leave out the most part of his raping and killings... Yes it's HBO, but there is some crazy violence in the novels I don't think they'll even attempt to show.
