I think the resolution at the end of this episode made it anything but flawless. King's Landing is absolutely screwed, Stannis' army is far beyond anything they can handle, they're just about to lose, and Tywin simply strolls in out of nowhere, his soldiers already having swept up the whole thing as a win for the Lannisters. What? Talk about Deus Ex Machina.
The entire surprise ending was based on a complete cheat. Last we saw of Tywin he was heading out to battle Robb, who's kept him completely strapped. But apparently he was, what, just tricking us that that's what he was doing? Knew the camera was there and thought he'd throw us off? Decided not to let his family know he was coming to aid them for the sheer satisfaction garnered from seeing their faces when he got them good? And how did his sucky troops that have been having their butts handed to them all season just roll in and crush Stannis', the ones who had all of King's landing shaking?
Also, I think the scene in the be

The Hound was scared of the fire! Or so it seemed to me... Obviously because of what happened to him as a child...

You should care about what is outside of King's Landing. The best is yet to come ....

"I don't care very much about events outside King's Landing."
How else is the series meant to keep going, the side stories is what puts the meat into the plots, with the chaos happening all across the relm it really sets the series apart from any other fantasy based show thats come before it.
Well, ofc this is just my opinion.

"I don't care very much about events outside King's Landing."
Really? Well you should. It is not for nothing that the opening credits show wheels and gears operating all the Kingdoms. No man is an Island in the world of Fire and Ice; all is interconnected.
After reading the first four books, my son said that Martin seemed to be killing off all the major characters. After reading all five (so far) books, I myself realized that half of the really important characters were dead before the story even started.
There are secrets here - vast and terrible. Martin is my age and a great fear of mine is that one of us may die before he finishes Book Seven.
And, unlike the world of Fire and Ice, people here stay dead.

The Hound is basically a medieval Frankenstein. It's not death or dying or killing he's afraid of, just fire.

This isn't a spoiler. The Hound is afraid of fire.

Sandor (The Hound) is afraid of fire - hence his reaction to the wildfire explosion and the soldier rushing at him being on fire. If you remember the story Littlefinger tells Sansa - Gregor (the Mountain) burned Sandor's face as a child.
