Yeah f**king superb wasn't it?
I loved the Margaery pwnage of Cersei, and though they missed my favourite line from that bit in the books - Edd fetch me a block - the Janos bit, with the Stannis nod, was superb. And I could watch a whole series of just Arya, one of my favourite characters ever (she even said "c**t!").
I'm less sure about the Tyrion line (also one of my favourite characters ever), and Varis and him spark wonderfully off each other. I think we'll see him and Dany working together before the end.
The Ramsay Bolton bit is entirely different from the books. In the books there's a fake Arya whom Theon ends up rescuing. She is raped and horribly abused by Ramsay, who forces Theon to help him. Sansa is still in the Eyrie and most people don't know who she is.
In the TV show Sansa is now betrothed to Ramsay and who knows what Littlefinger's Grand Scheme is. Maybe that Ramsay abuses her and the north rises against the Boltons allowing him to take control (probably through Sansa as some kind of proxy). I suspect Theon will help Sansa escape eventually, and also that Sansa will eventually turn on Littlefinger. Sansa may also kill Roose Bolton (who stabbed Robb). Sansa's moved a long way from lemoncakes...
It's the biggest departure from the books we've seen. I for one am loving it and I can't wait for the next episode.
