It is hard to say something about this episode, most reviews say that Dany's turn to madness and utter evil was not very well-prepared for in the earlier episodes, though on one hand when Tyrion suggests stopping the attack when the bells are rung, she does not agree to it so she doesn't fall on her promise not to attack when she hears the bells because she hadn't promised that. Later it is just mindless killing for the sake of killing. Maybe the episode doesn't make sense in the wider universe of GoT, but it is a good warning against the cruelty of war, and shows the suffering of common people and soldiers alike quite well. Arya may be too resilient to be realistic, surviving all this, but maybe she got lucky, it happens. Though the scene when she finds the charred body of the woman whom she wanted to help and her daughter is quite moving. The last conversation between Lannister brothers and Cersei and Jaimie's meeting were rather touching too. Jaimie fighting Euron was unrealistic and pointless, though, and I have no idea why the Clegane brothers were fighting since they were bound to perish in the sack of the city anyway. What Dany did in King's Landing brings to mind the events from the WWII when Germans destroyed Warsaw after the uprising.
