I'd expect things to improve space combat a bit now Amazon's thrown a bigger bag of cash at them. Though this coming season "shouldn't" really focus on that.
Agreed, so well done but perhaps with the limited budget they had pre Amazon we didn't get the steadily held beauty shots. Expecting that will change now that they've got that sweet Amazon money. Season 5 is gonna have some real jaw-dropping scenes I'm hoping.

Ninja Edit: Agree with your comment above Peter. The long range combat in the books definitely shows how much time combatants have to prepare and react in an engagement. They've definitely sped that part up in the TV show.
