No spoilers I promise:
Part of the book 4 "sucking", is that it focuses on characters that are not widely liked, and is very much about setting up the story of the favoured protagonists. It is almost like most of Robb's season 3 TV story. Boringly necessary.
Really? Tyrion's fate was about to be decided and this was (supposed to be) his emotional reflection on that. I'd say they were on par but obviously it was less 'epic' because it was private rather than public.
It ended up going nowhere and was dragged out way too long for me. I felt like it didn't serve a purpose at all (or rather didn't successfully achieve its purpose) and if it had been say Daenarys making that speech, people would have fallen asleep.
I can't believe non of you picked up the spoiler from Lord Baylish as he was talking to Sansa about how people die "in all sorts of ways...".
Chook.

What about Tyrion and Jaime's little chat about words for certain acts;-)
Was hard to watch as well the end of the red viper even though I knew what was coming whichever a compliment to the actor who portrayed him brilliantly.
In the Book I was like, whatever.
Did the mountain succumb to his wounds or is he still kicking around in the books?
I'm 100% confident that this series will turn to shit after all the good characters are killed off, and we are left with a couple of boring nobodies fighting over the iron throne.
If only there were some kind of blueprint that the show could follow. One that assured that there were always good characters left.
Somebody should write a book or something, just so they know which direction to head in.
I used the word "series" for a reason. Mr. Martin has a hard on for killing off his good characters, it's only a matter of time before Tyrion gets eaten by a dragon or some shit.
I thought the purpose was the metaphor to gods killing men like Orson killed the beetles. Well that's what I took from it. Took forever though.
How's the battle going to go? It seemed that from what Jon was saying, Mance and Tormund would get there at the same time. In the book Ygritte was to ambush Castle Black and take out the men so Mance could get through easily.
Tormund sure must be taking his time, especially when Ramsay went to Moat Cailin and then to Winterfell in this episode.
