East Watch was all about building up of many many plots, all of which were superbly done with amazing story telling.
Many reunions took place, well I won't mention which ones to avoid spoilers but all of them were so superb that I can't wait to see how they all turn up.
Little Finger is doing what he is best at, but this time I just wish that Starks change their legacy.
Danaerys showing both sides of her again in this episode, soft and hard, which shows that she can be a different ruler than what westeros has seen in the past. The scenes between Danaerys and Jon are somehow getting soft and romantic.
A glimpse of Old cunning Cersie was back which was good to watch as her scenes weren't as strong in the previous episodes as they used to be.
You might not like this episode if you always want an action packed episode like the Spoils of War, but let me assure you guys the plots built up in this episode are exactly like the silence before the storm and something special, very special is coming in next week's episode. Can't wait for that.
9/10

A scattershot clockwork of updates and minor machinations, paltry plot pivots and pirouettes that had our heads spinning. Nothing happened, yet somehow everything changed.
Their execution. As pillar of the episode, as sign of the way to the Iron Throne and, sure, fundamental trait for Daennerys portrait. In same measure, the Scorpion against dragon as new piece of future, fundamental confrontation. And, the relation between Daennerys and Jon, romantic, at the first sigh, political at the second. A good episode.
One of the things I love about Game of Thrones, is how there are hardly any simple truths. Nothing is only white and (almost) nothing is only black. Most of the times we are dealing in grayscales. "Sometimes strength is terrible", Daenerys says. And yes, Game of Thrones demonstrates that it truly can be.
Oh, and by the way, look out for 1) Jon's developing relationship with Drogon and 2) some inconspicuous information later in the episode.

- TriviaGilly's mention of Rhaegar's annulled marriage to Elia Martell, and his marriage to a second woman (undoubtedly Lyanna Stark) confirms the popular fan theory that Jon isn't in fact a bastard but a true Targaryen/Stark. That makes him the son of the heir to the throne, which, due to male preference for successors, technically puts him ahead of Daenerys (the heir's sister) in the Targaryen line of succession. This also means that Bran should be the leader of House Stark, since he is the oldest surviving son of Ned, whereas Jon is in actuality Ned's nephew; however, Bran has no interest in this position, so the northern lords are content with Sansa taking control in Jon's absence.
- Goofs(At 00:22:48) When Archmaester Ebrose puts the message from Winterfell on the table, it rolls up with the writing on the inside of the roll and comes to rest with the back of the scroll against the table. The camera then cuts to a closeup of the scroll on its edge with the writing clearly visible.
