I enjoyed that, more so in that I bought a new TV over the weekend and spent the extra time required to procure a high quality copy of the episode. Holy hell has video quality improved over the last few years! It's like the difference between dvd and vhs. How on earth have I not been aware of this? Years of shitty small TVs and now I'm absolutely blown away.

I enjoyed it. It’s a shame you have to wait a week, because this was a get the pieces in place type episode. Was ready to keep watching.
Next one looks like it’ll have more action, and it’s such a short season there can’t be many filler episodes.
Thought it was a solid first episode.
Poor fucking Sam..Nice dark moment finding the Umber kid pinned to the wall and waking up in the background..
Qyburn and Bron was good, after one of the girls propositioned him saying she has a thing for older men. He says poor girl she’ll be dead from the pox before the year is out, could see Bron choking on his wine thinking which one has the pox?
Thought overall it was a solid start, full of nice throw backs to the very first episode way back in season 1.
Those thinking it’s boring might be happier next week or at worse episode 3. The battle with the dead is said to happen early rather then later.

Just watched it, highlight for me was...
Dying to watch the next episode already,they should have made the first one 2 hrs, don't feel like enough happened in it but eased in nicely.
Theon's face annoyed me the moment I saw it, god he is so mopey, 100% dying in the next ep.Jon took the news better than I thought he would, let's see how Dan takes it when she finds out, IF she does??

I almost hope there are no twists, and the Night King is just an evil army of zombies (no ulterior shade of grey motivation), and it ends like the way the series have been going since they ran out of book - ie Hollywood style.
Then the books won't be totally spoilt! Thankfully there will be no confirm not deny about what in the series is book canon and what is not... keep guessing and GRR, provided he doesn't do a Robert Jordan, can change things as he writes.
But DnD have said that there are 3 great twists - Hodor, Red wedding (i think, anyway two have been done) + A. N . Other

Fixed!
Kept getting interrupted at work.. -
Well I got fooled by the "2 hour episodes" rumor and never even bothered to check it. Was geared up for a movie-length epic so was disappointed it was under an hour!
That said, though not much happened from an action POV they covered off quite a bit of scene setting etc to get everyone in the right place, with some key revelations now made, to really kick things off in the next couple of episodes. They also managed to throw in some tits and ass which was appreciated.
Bring on next week!

given Jon and Danaerys are quite clearly a couple, surely Sam and Bran shoulda told them of thier traditional Targaeryan relationship sooner?
I didnt expect a big explosive season opener, all just building, met my expectations.
Did Jamie not know Bran was still alive? I expect Bran being the way he is will be like 'it's all good, without the 'fall' I'd not have become who I am today, it was all in the plans of the seven faced god.'

So what are the end predictions. Finally watched it last night.
The obvious one to me is that Snow commandeers a dragon that becomes loyal to him and takes out the dragon lady on her Dragon and he gets the throne and a dragon or two as pets?
But that is unlikely now the story is heading that way.

I just want Bronn to get his castle.
Nothing else matters.

It's hard to predict, as much because it has gone so more Hollywood since they ran out of books. So will they writers stick to the book outline ending, or will they want a much more happy ever after? Thorn said to Snow before he was hanged, 'your watch will never end'. I can see him as some sort of eternal undead guardian or pact sacrifice with the others. Dani needs to die so her blood can temper a sword, in some way, not literally but figuratively. And no I don't mean Jon's pork sword.
I also hope Bron really goes hardcore and takes someone out.
-
@Rocky-Rockbottom yeah not only losing a dragon but gifting the night king a fucking undead ice dragon is, to me, a massive fucking deal. Especially given how easy it was. When Dani smiled at her dragons at the start you'd think she would have been bemoaning how big a loss that was instead. I mean the wall would have been more of an obstacle without the ice dragon, that kind of opened up the gates to hell.

@Machpants given they supposedly have 3 endings ready incase the 'favoured' one gets leaked prior to the finale, who knows what they are upto.
I blame GRRRRRRR

@Machpants I'm thinking that at some point Bron will kill Cersei, not sure if that will be a change of heart after she asks him to kill Jaime, or if he'll work out who the winning side will be and gets in early. Because if there is one thing Bron does it's getting IN!!
-
Was there a director for that episode? Surely the villagers would've had more than a mild reaction to seeing two big fuck off flying dragons?
Director: act more surprised and frightened in the next take

Pretty sure I read that the actors for Bron and Cercei had an affair years ago and fucken hate eachother thus can never be in a scene together.
So therefore the tension and hostility should be nice and real.
