Everything feels kinda lackluster after The Door to be honest. (maybe cause the whole Hodor thing came from GRRM, not D&D) I feel like they're trying to cram too much into too little episodes and they're running out of budget to boot. Two cool characters - the Waif and the Blackfish - get killed off-screen? C'mon...
Arya's arc feels completely out of place in the GOT world. She received a pretty heavy wound to the stomach, could barely stand up, then all of a sudden she goes on a wild chase through Bravos? Not only that, but she manages to kill a trained shape-shifting assassin. DAT plot armour though...
Ever since I read ADWD I've been saying that George Martin is shit at wrapping up plotlines. It's still true, but even his jumbled mess is better than what D&D have put up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching the show, but it's obviously struggling to tie everything without the structure and narrative of the books.
PS. Did anyone notice that incredibly lame scene where Brienne and Pod look across the Lannister camp in the distance? The CGI looks like it came out of a B-grade movie from the 90's. They're definitely running out of money or saving it for some epic stuff in the last two episodes.
