Sometimes I can spot things, but other times I totally mis stuff. At first I didn't notice that Abel was Mance and the washerwomen were the spearwives. It took me quite a while to figure that out, lol.
Martin hardly includes Bran anymore. I guess he's learning so much magic-type stuff that we can't have his POV all the time because it would reveal too much, which is why I think we'll never get a Varys or Petyr Baelish POV either, because they know everything. I miss Bran though. His adventure with the Reeds has been really interesting.
I was frustrated with the eastern plotline as well. I wanted Tyrion and Dany to meet, because he's one of the few characters that could actually fill her in on what Westeros is like. Barristen and Jorah gloss over the truth so Dany has this unrealistic idea of what happened when her father was the king. Tyrion would actually tell her the truth.
