Not reading past your first line because I haven't watched it yet but the only stand out episode to me was the one with the battle on the sea where all the wimmins got killed or captured. That episode was a roller coaster of emotions for me because I was so excited to see that table full of strong women plotting to take shit down and then they all were gone. the rest of the season can suck it though. You're right about that. Except for the battle scene with the dragon and the Lannister army. That was pretty cool.
