My expectations are obviously too high. The blackwater was the best part of the books flicking from one Point of view to another added to the tensions, watching Stannis lead the attack with no shield or helm broke the immersion for me and I could not take it seriously. (how he manages to get from the battlements through the enemy and back to his ship I have no idea) The wildfire seen was amazing - the fighting on the river was shortened for obvious reasons, but I think Sandor gets a bit of a raw deal as retreats at the first sign of fire. Tyrion leading the attack on foot (much cheaper in an already expensive episode) also defies common sense, not to mention the coolest kill in the books is Ser Mandon first written charge. Non combat sections where well done although Sandor Bronn was a little odd unless there will be a future arc to come out of it,
