It was the worst of the season...which is disappointing because the last few episodes have been great. I know that from the very beginning, the show has made little changes to the book material...a new scene here or there, but mostly, it seemed, to simplify and quickly explain material in a concise manner or to add a bit of humor. Generally, I have had no problem with these changes. Some I even liked. With this episode, for the first time it really seemed to me they were starting to diverge from the books in a more significant way. If that is the case, I think it is a bad development. Especially since this episode just was not as good as the others this season. I really hope this is not the start of a trend.
