I haven't had time to read every single post on this topic so far, but nobody (maybe 1 person!) seems to have mentioned the most glaring "miss" of this episode... The Cersei-Lancel scene. I love the subtlety of certain that comes with a book/programme like this, and some subtle links (Pycelle recap of Mad King-Dany Burning alive comes to mind!) work really well, but I watched the ep. with none-readers, and they were a bit like "ey? what's going on here?" Firstly, they had no idea it was Roberts "cup boy" and secondly they didn't see the significance of him being with Cersei, nor her motivation for it. Slightly too subtle for none-readers? Now that semi-rant is over, thought it was another fantastic episode. They have done an amazing job all series of bringing the character we all love to life! Hopefully we'll see a little more of Jaime next series than in the books (although I guess bringing scenes forward is the way?)and hopefully the Hound will get his due! Cant wait for more Littlefinger, Tyrion-Bronn etc... and hoping the new characters (Jaqen and co.) play out as well as these ones have and live up to my expectations, as some of my favourite characters get introduced here! Also, I was really impressed with the CGI for the Dragons. Pleasantly surprised! All-in-all, Looking forward to no.2!!
