I was slightly sad about Baelish, I wanted to see just how far up he could go. Flip side of that was it being nice to see Sansa finally hit her arc, she's been around the most conniving characters since her blood moon.
It's still hard for me to imagine them finishing this up in the few episodes we have next season, but like others have mentioned, they aren't doing too much in the way of character detail now that they've outpaced the books.
I had a couple gripes with this season. Ghost was aptly named. Everyone had fast travel (I don't need to see them on a boat all episode, but it just felt like *Poof* and nothing happened when they were gone). Worst being the world just seems desolate. Like they budgeted extras. In and around Kings Landing in the last episode, and most of the world, seems to be guards soldiers and main characters.
It didn't stop me from having a ton of fun watching this season though.
