Regarding Robert's spoiler (I don't wish to break the spoiler system by nesting spoilers): while the end scene with Arya and the coin is among my favourites from the books, I wish they would have included the epilogue scene that Steve referenced, as it was one of the many scenes where I was good and truly surprised.
I'm not sure how I feel about Jojen's death. Part of me now wonders about the character's future in book 6 (recall that the showrunners were told by Martin exactly what happens to every single character).
Regarding Steve's spoiler:
Overall, a strong episode.

Regarding Steve's spoiler:
We have indeed veered into Book 5 territory. Bran's "skipped" chapters were mostly history lessons about Westeros, the First Men, and the Children of the Forest. There is also a very good story that provides bit of history about Lyanna, Eddard, and Benjen Stark. Hopefully it can be told next season (as Meera is the one that tells it).
Overall, a strong episode.
