9. Great stuff! King's Landing and Winterfell were my favourite parts of the episode. The interactions between Sansa and Jon were really great, absolutely love their dynamic. Sansa is just <3! Love that Littlefinger is finally depicted as the pathetic little man that he is. Also, you guys can ship Dany and Jon all you want, I ship Brienne and Tormund. Make it happen, GoT Gods. King's Landing was wonderful. I love the panicked look Jaime gave Cersei when Euron suggested that she should try killing her brother. That was gold!  Pilou has always been a hottie, it's not his fault they made him look like an unwashed doofus in Season 6. That beard still needs some serious trimming, though. Oldtown was okay. A little bit too long for my taste, and I really did not need to see the chamberpot scrubbing. Lesson learned, never eat breakfest while watching Game of Thrones. Sam sneaking into the forbidden section of the library was SO Harry Potter. I half expected him to pull out a book with a screaming face in it. Loved Arya's scene with the soldiers, Ed Sheeran's cameo was pretty cool. I always enjoy it when they sing on this show. This was such a sweet, human moment for Arya, we need more of those ... and we actually heard her laugh, that was awesome. The Frey scene on the other hand I did not like. It was cheap, and it didn't give me any satisfaction, but I'm glad that whole storyline is over and dne with. Without Stoneheart, it has been seriously frustrating me, so I'm glad we're moving on from it. Don't really know how to I feel about the Sandor bit. It was an okay scene, and I loved the little nod at the grave digger stuff from the books. The acting was pretty good. The soundtrack during Dany's arrival at Dragonstone was chill inducing, also Dany's fabulous new costume. So good. <3 So many people were called a cunt in this episode.  |

Solid 8. Nothing too crazy but some good scenes to set up the rest of the season.

7. Was an overall solid episode. I loved Arya's badass moment at the start Why the fuck was Ed Sheeran in this episode, ruined the scene. Sad Arya is heading to kings landing instead of Winterfell  no stark reunion just yet. I think there were just a little too many bits, too much chop and changing. The best part of the episode for me was actually probably Sam's part. Thought it was hilarious. Love that he stole the book  Also loved Sassy Sansa but Just Jon. Oh yeh, almost forgot. DANY IS HOME MOTHERFUCKERS. although the long silence made me uncomfortable. |

I re-watch it and give it a 9. Some minor flaws, but still a great opening.

6. Liked Sassana Mormont, Bran and Kings Landing. Hated the opening at the Twins and hate Pilou as Euron. Sam's first scenes were annoying to watch. Understand they were drumming in the tedium anx repetitiveness but didnt like it. But then the archmaestsr came in an he was Jim Broadbent  woooooooop! He's so awesome. I keep imagining him as Timothy Cavendish though. "Soylent Green is made of people!" Is he supposed to be Marwyn/equivalent? The Ed Sheeran scene was pretty bad. Not just him the whole thing. *shrug* very hamfisted clumsy dialogue. Sandor and Beric was great but it should be Sandor and Stoneheart +points for having a Gravedigging hound... Dany's homecoming was great though. And damn those dragons are huge. When they flew round the Citadel they looked massive Weird that there was noone at all on Dragonstone. Stannis surely didnt take the civillians with him |

There are supposed to be taverns and farms and such. It would be a pretty useless fortress if not, as it would not be self sufficient at feeding itself. Its also supposed to attract merchants like Sallador Sahn. Hard to do that if it's just a castle. There should be taverns, and markets, and locals who live there and fish/work the land. This is explicitly the case in the books. |

I like this episode , they sort of covered all the base story catch up need.
This show is still unique as a fantasy-moderate tale , really nothing on TV like it.
Others have tried but none have GRRMs vision or story telling wheels even if it's D&D doing the 'GRRM' thing right now.
I guess everyone has noticed the over-the-top viewing numbers? I expected things to stay up in the excellent range, I didn't think GoT would get 10.1 million , and in the long run HBO sees a bigger number, tho we never see that.
Have to wonder ,HBO has an oddity on their hands , ROME and Deadwood should of had these numbers , I doubt Westworld will be the replacement. I think half of Westworld is great, the cast is unbelievably good, but I don't think they have a story that has 'legs'.
Not surprising that HBO has 4! prequels GoT related in work.

What do you mean by fantasy-moderate? If it's what I think you mean, GoT has never been that, and even less so in this premiere. Dragons, huge shambling undead armies, face-changing, people changing to stone, 1000ft wall of ice, people going into trances to see afar/the future, people skinchanging into animals, emerging unscathed from the flames, shadow babies...hardly lacking in fantastical elements. A lot of people seem eager to say it's not heavy on fantasy, but that's incorrect imo. And seems motivated by a continued reluctance by mainstream to embrace the idea of liking fantasy |

There are multiple fishing villages on the island. They never showed them on the show, tho, so I guess they just don't exist in this universe lol. Either way I think Dragonstone just looks so good, visually. I would live there if I could (after installing some type of escalator, obvs). |

It sure is not as industrial strength fantasy as Harry Potter or .... I would say... as heavy as Lord of the Rings. |

woooooooop! He's so awesome. I keep imagining him as Timothy Cavendish though. "Soylent Green is made of people!"
