Just look at HBO's track record: The Sopranos, Rome, Boardwalk Empire, Six Feet Under, Band of Brothers and The Wire (my god, The Wire is the best, most unseen TV show ever). This can only benefit The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. I am excited about both!

Yeah, they've really condensed down the idiocy GRMM insists on building in his books.
I mean, I'm all for added detail and building the story, but especially in FoC (haven't read DWD yet) it was awful 80% of the time.
I did not expect Bronn to be sparring with Jaime. Let's see what creative licenses HBO takes with this. Probably won't stray too far from source material, but it's hard to imagine that Jaime can get away with sparring with Bronn for so long versus the mute Ilyn Payne as he does in the books.
What a great episode.
