Yeah, Stannis was a huge badass in the episode. Hadn't seen that side of him yet.
To answer the criticism in this thread, I would say that this season isn't as good as the last, but my understanding from those who have read the books is that is mostly due to the source material. Not as much is happening with the plot in Book 2 as Book 1. It's still fantastic television, though, on the whole, and I think the character development has been very effective. They've done very well for a show that lost its central character at the end of last year and three of its other main ones (Jon Snow, Daenarys, Jaime Lannister) not doing all that much this season.
