I've been busier than **** and just got around to seeing this. What an episode. Man. I really thought Jamie or Cersi would kill Tywin. That whole scene was spectacular. I didn't catch that Shae was working for Tywin this whole time. Brutal. Awful. And then Tyrian killed her. Awesome.
I was legitimately sad about the hound. What a brutal way to go (what a fight scene btw!). He was mired in Douchery, but I had come to like him. And Arya killing that fat bastard that said he was going to rape her through the heart, but leaving Sandor to bleed out because he wanted to watch over her (no one left to give him gold for her). Wow. That's really something.
Not real sure what Stannis is going to do now, although when that wildling took a run at him and got absolutely mowed down by a knight at full tilt, I laughed hard. My guess is he gets crunched by the white walkers.
That scene between Jon and Mance was spectacular. Really really good. Really added a lot of depth to Mance's character and cause.

Good catch on the total irony of Dany's situation. She went from freeing slaves and breaking chains, to allowing slaves again (granted, at their own request), and chaining up her dragons. She has discovered that ruling is hard, and moral dilemmas are not always black and white.
The Hound is one I always wonder about. Left for dead is not the same as dead. Maybe he's only mostly dead...mostly dead is still partly alive! GRRM is a Princess Bride fan and already paid homage with the fight scene where the Red Viper channeled Inigo Montoya. Anyway, when I see the Hound's dead body, then I'll believe it.
That fight scene with the Hound and Brienne was totally kick ass though, the sheer brutality of it was great, and Brienne biting his ear off and then screaming like a crazed maniac when she pummeled him off the cliff...loved it!
