Haven't read the books much, so I dunt care about that. But the show was great. Favorite episode of the entire series. Loved Stannis coming in with his army, loved the acting of the man who's daughter died, love Emilia's reaction (usually hate her acting), loved how Tyrion killing Shae was not overdramatic and stupidly romantic, loved the chemistry between Dink and Char in the bathroom and loved Arya's independence day.
