I think I would have liked it better if it ended with the Hound/Arya scene. I felt the Dany scene fell flat. Atleast with Arya it could have ended showing a little bit of revenge, even if not much.

I have a hard time seeing how anyone could rate this show as a 9 or 10. A GOT 8 is as good as most series 10s, but this was not one of the best GOT episodes. I don't like the Daario casting. He just doesn't seem to have the charisma. They should have switched the actors of Jaqen and Daario.

You do realize all the Theon scenes are from book 5 right? GRRM is already losing content from book 5 into season 3. If they continue sucking in Feast/Dance into Season 4, well GRRM needs to get really busy writing Song and take some time off writing all the other things. I really hope (and expect) most of Feast/Dance will be compressed. It will be really easy to do, we had 200 pages of turtle and wilding armor descriptions in book 5, a single picture will cover all that unneeded description. The actual plot/character progression in book 5 is about 2 episodes worth of content.

I can only hope the Theon stuff disappears now. We have the point, he is being tortured... Let him pop back up in season 5 as Reek. Too much time spent on him when he is irrelevant at this point.

The Ygritte loyalty, it is just them, speech would have had MUCH more impact if it were done after the kiss on top of the wall. After the two of them were cut loose to die and made it up together would have made more sense to me.
