This episode I especially liked the Kingslayer. How he manipulated lord Edmure to give the castle away. (the Kingslayer showed some really strong characteristics from his dad this episode) Also the performance from the Blackfish was very interesting to see. To bad that he supposedly died off-screen. I would think a character like the Blackfish would get a way bigger exit than he was given. Unless the writers have something more in-store with him, I really hope so. I also liked how Cercei stood up against the Faith, however this in turn led to her own son, the King being manipulated by the Faith in removing trial by combat. With other words Cercei showed her power to early leading to the faith realizing trial by combat is Cercei's trump card, thus removing it.
On the other hand, what I didn't like in this episode was how the writers went along with Arya's story-line. I was hoping that Arya being stabbed was somehow part of the house of Black and Whites trial program. I did like how Arya finally realizes that she doesn't want to be no one.
There was way more going on this episode, we finally see Tyrion again after two episodes, the scene where he is making fun with Missandei and Grey Worm was a delight to watch! I think the writers also made some mistakes with Daenerys this season. Up to the point where she lights the temple on fire with all the Khal's inside, that was magnificent. After that it went down hill fast with her. They are trying way to much with Daenerys, we don't need Daenerys doing something great every episode, tone it down a bit, please!
+ Jamie Lannister starting to sound like his dad, whilst keeping some of his more gentler sides. (letting Brienne go) + The Hound seeking justice + The mountain being an immovable object + The Faith realizing this and thus rendering the Mountain obsolete + Tyrion realizing things go a bit different in this part of the world.
Overall, very cool episode. I would rate it a 8,3.

- The Blackfish dying off-screen (or did he?) -Arya story-line way too rigid - Daenerys doing something great every episode
Overall, very cool episode. I would rate it a 8,3.
