I say stop hating. Many of the comments here are made without any criteria, just based on "I've read the books, so that give me authority to spit on the show". First of all we need to keep in mind that the show is for non readers. For us, knowing what will (or at least should) happen, things are very different. For example Lady Stoneheart. That's cool and I agree it's a nice way of ending the books. But if they don't show her on the show that's not an inconsistency or whatever. I doesn't imply bad writing, 'cause its not incoherent in any way with what's shown (they never foreshadowed that or anything similar). Same goes for not showing coldhands, don't be purist on that, the spirit of Bran's story is the same. Others complain that the leaf grenades were the worst of the series. WTF. The children of the forest are supposed to have some magical powers, calm down on that. I agree that bloodraven looked a bit ugly for my taste, but come on, you can't expect everything to look as it does in your mind. And by the way, one the huge merits of the show in general is a good graphical portrait of the books' universe. That's for the omissions, now for the changes: I don't like some of them either, but this is an adaptation. The encounter Brienne - Arya I think was good, logical, and, for the purists, it didn't change the outcome of the story. Again, don't hate. Omitting Tysha may seem big, but still Tyrion had a lot of reasons to kill Shae and Tywin, its not like its complete nonsense. And we can discuss about all of these, what's in, what's out, that's what the forum is for. But throwing crap like "Extremely weak" without further reasons is a childish attitude. Saying the writers are dumb, production is cheap, actors are improvising, is for most of the part out of bounds. I think very few are qualified to say such comments. Producing an episode require effort from hundreds of professional people. Saying all their work is poor because Lady Stoneheart is not there is being a crybaby. I gave it an 8. Not a masterpiece, but far from the disaster some people say. One of my all time favorite moments from the book is Arya saying valar morgulis. And I like it how it happened here, with the music and everything. The season was good, for me the best since the first one.
