Really well done, maybe even the best this season

Spoilers for those unfamiliar with the rest of the season.
Somehow I imagined the battle to happen during sunlight while reading. I also thought there was something about a huge chain going through the bay, or am I confused here? The wildfire was awesome, though. So was Tyrion, of course. My gf says she won't continue to watch this if he is dead. I'll have to see if she won't make me spoil his fate within this week of waiting. Looks like it'll just be a nasty cross-face scar instead of his nose half-off for him from now on.
Lena Headey proved to be the perfect Cersei in this for good. She was wonderfully menacing. I really liked the Hound's scenes too, although I understand Cannoli's complaints I didn't find them to be such a big deal.
Was Stannis really leading the attack in the book? I don't remember that somehow.
I was a bit worried they'd kill of Bronn when he got so much screen time before the battle. After all, he does kind of disappear from the books soon and I remember the producers saying some may not survive this even though they did in the books.
I also wonder if Davos' fate will be kept uncertain over the wait for season 3.
Also loved the Rains of Castamere over the end credits.
Can't believe it's only gonna be one more episode before another year of waiting

The final version of the episode was apparently significantly rewritten by the producers.

Hey, the chain! Did they mention it at all this year? I thought I recall someone asking me about it

I agree with all but the part about Joffrey

Yeah, but he didn't even come into the equation in the books. He was a mere playing piece

He and Tywin are the only two who have replaced my mental images of the characters.

I liked this episode, but the battles were confusing and kind of a let-down.

I haven't read the books, and the whole ending was quite a confusing sequence.

But we, as viewers, are not soldiers; we're more like historians. Or gods, if you prefer.

You're right, but I simply saw it as a way to work with their tight budget
