One of the things that I really like is how the show creators take themes and build them in a particular show. I've really noticed that as they've finally decided to just toss the books and develop the arc on their own timeline. For example in the latest episode 'Kill the Boy."
Jon and Aemon's dialog becomes the dominant, driving theme for this episode. Jon must kill the boy. Dany must forge her own path and kill the girl. Sansa is also dealing with similar issues in trying to grow up and forge her own way 'alone in this world' (another theme that echoes between Dany and Sansas that Aemon pointed to when talking about Dany). Sometimes it's almost a little heavy handed, but I like that they're doing it, as it makes the shows stand on their own artistic merit and separates them, as artistic works, from the books even more.
