Except for the ending this episode was actually quite good. I liked the scene where Sansa lied to save Littlefinger, I liked that Ygritte still has some humanity left in her and I liked Reek's performance as his former self, Theon. What i didn't like however was the cheap death of one of the most interesting characters in the whole series. I have no problem with seeing characters that i like die as long as it is in a good and believable way (red wedding), but when you kill off someone just for the shock and gore it's disappointing. I find it very hard to believe that the viper would be so unprepared for a counter attack from the mountain just after seeing him almost fly around the "arena" kicking the mountains ass. I know that the show is based on books but from what i've heard they haven't followed it to the letter before so why not rewrite that part? Let the viper die, sure. Just not in the cheapest way possible.
Overall this episode was good except for the very bad ending. 6/10
