I do agree with you about this episode. In general it is alright and stays true to the books, at least mostly. Howevere, it really glossed over the emotions of the characters, which is a shame in my opinion. Why would you let out emotions in such a show? Showing them would allow us to empathize/sympathize with the characters more. In my opinion the anime tends to ignore emotions more often when in the books these moments were crucial to the story. Anyways, good comparison.
