    I like GOT, but....

    This was a rather slow episode, more of a build up to the upcoming war. With so few episodes left, I feel they wasted a lot of time on nothing... just my opinion, no haters needed.

    Soo much negativity why smh

    People r putting low rating for the episode because it wasn't what they expected....the episode was just fine it's very underrated...that's wrong. The reunions were great everything was just fine ... some comedy was added that's so nice actually ... U don't have to underrate it just bcuz it wasn't what u expected...the episode was great and very fascinating actually stop ur negativity...and we all know the next episodes will be even better

    You can tell they have run out of books

    Its not bad, it is just becoming very blank, what made GOT GOT is lost. It's very sad they ran out of books and it seems without that guidance they are turning to classic hollywood style of filming. Caracters have lost their identities, they are just a pale version of themselves and everything is filled up with predictable conversations seen in thousand hollywood movies. Season 7 all over again. GRRM why didn't you finish the books? Lol

    Each Season is a Unified Piece

    I don't know what people expect. Would you prefer that they end the whole thing in one episode? The first is always going to be transitional. We have to have reunions. We have to have relationships re-established because all the forces are congealing. I thought the dragon riding scene went on too long. But there are highly significant facts revealed that are necessary to set up what will transpire in the other five episodes. It's much like a chess match where two excellent players have their pieces all set for the endgame. Also, remember that it has been nearly two years since we saw these figures.

    Should've been much better (very mediocre)

    The episode doesn't tell you very much, like, even if you didn't watch it, nobody could spoil you anyways because everything that happens in the episode was anticipated already before the season.

    All that we've seen in the episode should've been in the trailer for the season. And to waste a WHOLE episode on "few reunion scenes", out of 6 episodes, that's too much wasted time.

    The episode is NOT bad, it's just not what you would EXPECT from the opening of the FINAL season of (considered by most) the "BEST" tv show nowadays...

    • Trivia
      There are many musical call-backs to the pilot episode Winter Is Coming (2011) in this episode: the music that plays when Jon and Daenerys arrive is the same as when Robert arrives; the music that plays when Jaime sees Bran is the same music that played when Jaime pushed Bran out of the tower.

      Euron says that he, Yara and Theon are the last Greyjoys left in the world. There is a fourth Greyjoy - Aeron, Euron's brother.
