I finally watched the episode last night. I liked the scenes with Cersi, but I was hoping Danny's dragon would return when she went to the fighting pits - I understand she needs to figure out how to rule but she's boring at the moment. Her dragons make her more interesting. Tyrion showing up was a good consolation prize though. He's an engaging character. I really don't care about Jorah's return though.
It's interesting to read what people find boring and what other people don't.
Dany doesn't bore me - she's learning.
Sansa is interesting because she's playing a terrible game and has no idea who she can trust. She, too, is learning.
Arya is learning but I don't give a crap about what she's learning. I just don't see how a Stark is going to give up being a Stark. So, I wish we'd just skip all the "is a girl just a girl" nonsense and skip to the part where she knows how she's going to mold Stark and evil killer together.
Tyrion rocks. As always.
EDIT: The boringest of all boring characters? SORRY, Bran. I don't miss you.

YES! Bran's storyline was sooo boring and took up so much time. I just don't see how it has anything to do with anything else going on. What's the point?

I am not sorry. He was BORING!! Though in the back of my mind I feel he has a big part to play, I am fine letting all this happen behind the scenes until he is needed. Like his whole story line could have happened off camera from the time we found out they were traveling to the wall and beyond.
He could have come in later and said: Oh yes I traveled beyond the wall with Hodor and the Reeds and learned lots of cool stuff from the children and a tree... DONE!
I will say, that particular Sand Snake had fantastic boobs. I am 100% a penis girl but damn, they were pretty.
Do their pretty boobs make up for their terrible acting?
BURN!
As for Bran:
I loved his storyline in the book but it was mostly in his head and hard to move to television. A lot more philosophical and metaphorical etc. Very much less action.

I also didn't mind Bran in the book. His journey was also much longer and way more interesting there.

Agreed. I actually loved the Bran chapters in the book. They unfortunately just don't pan out on screen compared to all the boobs, blood, and dragons.
I also feel like Bran is boring to viewers because he is a part of the "magic" side to the world, which really takes a backseat to the politics of the time. It's why I love this world and GRRM so much, because we are being entertained by the characters and not the world/magic, but it does make Bran an outsider to everyone else. As much I personally loved him, it was smart to play out his story line and move on.

Can I ask a clarifying question from Sunday's episode that I'm too afraid to Google? Littlefinger said to Lady Olenna that he had a gift for her, which was the same he'd given to Cersei: a young man. What was he referring to? Had he "given" Cersei the cousin that she fucked and helped get Robert killed? (That doesn't bode well, if so.) Or was it something/someone else? Or did I just totally mishear what he said?

You're correct. He gave her Lancel Lannister, who could confess to the High Sparrow that he had relations with Cersei, thus putting Cersei in the same position as the Tyrells.
Edit to clarify: He meant that he was giving Lady Olenna the same gift: a young man. Not the SAME young man to each of them. Cersei was gifted the boy that Loris had bedded. Lady Olenna was given Lancel. Both boys could testify to put their mistress/lover in prison.
