The crowd-surfing ending was lame as hell, but there was some good stuff this episode. Arya killing that guy was awesome. If her and the Hound spend all next season wandering the countryside killing Freys, I'm OK with that. The way the middle of the episode flowed from King's Landing to the Nightfort to The Twins to Theon to the Iron Islands was very good storytelling. We finally got to see some of the storylines intersect, with Sam meeting Bran followed by Jon making it back to Castle Black. I'm betting that Gendry fell out of the boat and we'll never see him again; it's just that kind of show. Stannis going North has potential to be epic. That's how the episode should have ended: with competing shots of his fleet sailing north and the Wildling army moving south.
