A bit of a clunky episode but nonetheless great.

Lots of things happened in this episode. Bran and Meera escape with the help of Benjen - which is cool to see him back. For some reason, he had a big screen presence in the short moments he was in season 1. Sam and Gillie storyline is sweet. I love this couple very much. Much needed wholesomeness in this mostly dark GoT. Arya isn't able to make her kill and hence being a target of the Waif. I guess she's only wanted to learn how to kill people she wanted to kill, not just random people.

Margaery turning against her own family is actually very clever of her. She clearly is pretending to really buy into the faith stuff but this way, she has Tommen on her side and is able to split the Lannisters away from him which is what she has wanted all this time. Great move. Daenerys commanding the Dothraki with the dragons were cool too. However, both of this supposedly epic scenes were somehow a little awkward. It didn't bring the same surge of emotions as GoT has done many times. Maybe the music felt too dramatic. Maybe it was the editing. I am not too sure - I can't quite pinpoint it.
