The Iron Islands are on the opposite side of the continent from the narrow sea (where Stannis' home base of Dragonstone is), so he could have sailed up without anyone getting in the way.

Their Dad died in a "hunting accident"...more than likely killed by Gregor.

Ah ok... so I am guessing Stannis will try to ally with the Wildlings and get them to help him take King's Landing.... what do you think?

I think that might have been my favorite episode. The left out dialogue between those two people was disappointing. Also the lack of appearance from a certain someone was a HUGE let down for me. I really thought that would need to be a great ending for the season buy Arya's ending was good too.

Don't forget, while Mance has 100k dudes, how many are fighting men who have trained together? How many know how to fight cavalry (guessing there aren't a lot of mounted units up north)?
20k veteran cavalry lead by an experienced battle commander against 100k unprepared infantry/refugees that don't know anti-mounted tactics and don't have the gear for it (pikes, halberds, etc); well the infantry is gonna get smoked.

After reading interviews with some directors for the series, she may not be in the show at all.
Also, they totally screwed the pooch on the Tyrion/Jaime scene at the end. They really fucked Tyrion's motivations for later in the series by skipping that one conversation.

I am tempted to wiki the spoiler about the "missing lady".... I heard the basics of the spoiler but not why or how it affected the story.

She's relatively minor, but is important for a certain characters later development.

She isn't a huge deal. Just kind of neat. Much like Coldhands. I wouldn't read the spoiler though because if she appears it would be better not to know she is coming.
Something else I noticed. Jojen Reed isn't dead in the books. I wondered why they killed him. I remember Bran getting attacked and Hodor whipping tail but I don't remember the Hadoken tossing child.

Was there more detail to the story with Bran and Jojen in the books? Cause that story was so sparse in the show that I was kinda indifferent to Jojen dying.

Not really that I remember. Jojen dying wasn't a big deal to me.
Brienne never fights the hound in the books either. I like the change. Brienne fighting the hound made me think someone was going to pop up though.

Does the Hound fight someone in that part of the story? Or did they completely fabricate that part of the story?

I believe that wound he had festers and gets infected. IIRC. I think he gets to a point where he can't continue. He is assumed to be dead but there are theories that he ends up being a grave diggers somewhere. Normally I would put that in a spoiler tag but the series hasn't touched on quite a few fringe characters and the grave digger is one of them. So I'm going to assume the Hound won't be seen again in the series.

The "Hound" is dead. Sandor might live on as the gravedigger but I'm sure the Hound is dead.
Jaquen is also thought to be alive as an alchemist in Oldtown.
Kind of like the Mountain is dead but Robb Strong lives.

Talk about a gal getting around....... Saw Lady Stark last night on the New 24. She's really a bad ass bitch in that series.
