The shot of Theon burning the letter was AWESOME!
The subsequent serious weakening of the Drowned God ceremony was a little dissapointing.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Also Varys continues to be absolutely outstanding, as always.

Seriously. He's not the Splashed In The Face God.
(I can't comment in detail until I rewatch because I watched 3 and 4 back to back last week and don't want to accidentally spoil anyone.)
The reason I watched them early is DH's Weekly Westeros Scorecard column, which I'd probably recommend even if I weren't married to him.

Because books.
Oh, nice! Thanks for the link, Jessica.
Nearly everything that happened was a surprise to me, so I spent pretty much the whole episode with my jaw hanging open. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
So sad about Yoren, though (and I did know that was coming). I liked him.

Art Crawl!!!
The show continues to move so quickly that I'm surprised when the end credits run.

I've just realized that the actress playing Shae looks eerily similar to the president of the PTA at Dylan's school. I may never be able to volunteer for anything again.

She's the one who's throwing me a little bit -- she's not at all the way the character was described in the first book.

No, but I'm loving this interpretation of the character all the same.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I was so worried that they'd cast Brienne with somebody that Hollywood "thinks" is ugly, which is usually somebody that you'd think is pretty if you ran into them in real life. This Brienne, I can see as a believable warrior-maid, indeed, and while I bet she actually cleans up nicely, I'm not going to have too much cognitive dissonance going forward.
And yeah, am disappointed in the Drowned God baptism. Me, I would have opened the scene with the priest and Iron Dad holding struggling Theon under the water until he drowns, then drag him back to shore and do mouth-to-mouth. Maybe an aside by Yara that the priest isn't losing nearly as many initiates as he used to.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can see the appeal of that, but I think it would be wrong for Theon going forward to have that major a religious experience. The Damphair pouring water over his head is what happened in the book, although the order of events has been shuffled a little.
