I've been waiting four seasons for the trial scene, and goddamn, it did not disappoint. Give Peter Dinklage the Emmy now.
Alfie Allen deserves an Emmy. He's been the best actor on the show since season 2.

IIRC, Tyrion didn't demand trial by combat blind … he knew who would fight for him. But this is great too :p
Asha's heroic rescue attempt was a great way of showing Theon's conditioning briefly ... which the books took the first 2-3 of his chapters in Dance to do. So in the end, I'm kinda pleased with that.
Stannis goes to Braavos! Davos is more eloquent than he's ever been in his life! It was kinda nice, but now Stannis has all the money (already), which is odd ... And that he won it rather than it falling into his hands.
So the next three episodes ... (big book spoilers):
! 7 - Lysa being killed
8 - Oberyn vs Gregor
9 - Battle of Castle Black
10 - Lady Stoneheart?
! So a bunch of big events from Storm one after another :D
In my opinion the book has executed ever single thing regarding Theon thus far better and it will be pretty much impossible for the show to even touch how powerful his chapters in the books were.
