The show is going to finish well before the books; there is no point getting upset about what can't be helped. I liked the episode. The show runners aren't going to not show the Others for the entire series like George does. TV watchers won't put up with that crap like book readers will. The only scene that I didn't like was Dirk's endless rant about what a badass fighter he is. It reminded me of the Thenn's speech about cannibalism earlier in the season. We get it. They are evil, tough guys. You don't have to lecture us about it for 5 minutes. Watching them rape, murder, and eat people for a few seconds gets the point across. Someone needs to get Greyworm into a workout program. I'm not saying he has to be big, but the guy doesn't even have muscle tone. The Unsullied slaves are specifically chosen due to their size, strength, and speed. He's just a little, skinny dude.

The ending scene pretty well summarizes why I hate Dany. All it needed was for her to make googly eyes at Daario. And, didn't anybody working on the show think that having a little, pale woman being worshiped by a mob of former, dark-skinned slaves might not be the best thing to put on TV? Jaime only said one word in the entire episode and he still blew away most the cast. Tywin/Jofferey, Roose/Walder, Jaime, Cersei, and Arya/Hound were good this episode. But, some of the other characters were painful to watch.

5 It kind of reminds me of the last two books. Some good lines and moments, but little of importance taking place to drive the main plots forward. I hope they step it up next week, that's two boring episodes in a row now.

I actually like Slaver's Bay from Barristan's, Tyrion's, and Vic's perspectives. Just as we never had a POV from any of the 5 kings, Dany should have lost her POV when she became Queen of Meereen. I think she would be much more likable and seem less stupid and annoying.
