I had goosebumps when Arya talked with Jaquen. Her actress is the winner of this season, as far as I am concerned (if we're ignoring the omni-awesome Dinklage for a second).
And I found Maester Luwin's last scenes all close to perfect.
I also think that it's kinda hard to cheer for Dany unless you are a young girl or woman who always wanted to have dragons and rule a kingdom.
Loved The Walking Dead.
I felt there was little connection to how I remembered the ending of the book (but that may just be my memory). I kinda expected Davos to sit on a rock somewhere, for example.
Jon and Halfhand's fight was a lot more dramatic in the book, but that's the stuff that happens when you have dozens of storylines to cover.
Overall I was very happy with this season and I can't wait for S3, the highlight of which will rip unprepared people's head off.

I just know that I'm going to jump for joy when Joffrey kicks it. I can't stand the little twit. But watching Cersei disintegrate over the next few seasons is going to be equally pleasing. Pity about the Starks though...

I still don't see how Arya got any less sympathetic at this stage of the books

Yeah, she didn't really turn bad until Feast, as a result of events of Storm *NM*

They changed it. 'Ruining' depends on the level of faithfulness you required from show to books.

Oh one more thing Xaro Xhoan Daxos is gay and thus wouldn't sleep with Doreah. *NM*

And pasty white. Also, Doreah is blonde. And dead before they reached Qarth. *NM*

I'm especially angry she killed Doreah since she was the hottest chick on the show.

No love for Margaery Tyrell? *NM*

Availability is the actress's consistent character trait. Aesthetically, she's not that attractive. *NM*

There's something about her face I reeeeallly don't like. Maybe lack of symmetry?

She does have kind of an odd, tight/pinched face, but I like it all the same. 
Sansa...meh. *NM*

Worry not, the rest of Margaery is just fine by me. But if I'm anything, I'm a "face" guy. *NM*

If you want to warn people about a spoiler, say "Sidious's post is a spoiler!" Like that. *NM*

What can't they follow descriptions? The Others are pure white. Smh *NM*

We have to get used to the idea of seeing the end of the story on TV before we read it
