Oh, and in the discussions about the lack of victories for the characters, this episode was extremely satisfying. Tyrion's storyline definitely felt like a victory for him (and has fully surpassed the book now, thankfully). Arya is also progressing, and Cersei's punishment also feels like a victory.
Plus, the awesome battle (albeit an overall loss) at Hardhome was like the icing on the cake that is twice as good as the cake.
