ACSlater Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It was a good episode...a bit slow but usually season openers are trying to set everything up... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Apart from the cold opening not really the sexiest of episodes but your typical opening season here's where everyone is episode. Spoiler I couldn't watch the into to Samwell, literally feces on screen grosses me out. And hey that was Jim Broadbent. Spoiler Also that was Ed Sheeran and it did take me out for a bit Edited July 17, 2017 by DAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I thought it was a great opening episode. Right next to Two Swords as the best season opener. The cold open was fantastic, and it did a great job setting the stage for the madness to go down. I really liked the scenes with the Hound, it's really nice to see his subtle redemption.

TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Great premiere.Made me really excited of what's to come.Even with the little screentime,Dany's story arc seems like the most excited for now,with Arya's being a close second(her big scene was GOAT). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I will be in the minority of thinking this is a great premier. But seeing social media, a good majority seriously liked this episode. Aside from cold open, Ed Sheeran cameo and ending, I loved this episode. Can we discuss spoilers without tags? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I really enjoyed the premiere. Yes it had to move at its own pace to get people back into the flow, but it still all worked for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Imo seeing Dany finally getting home and Arya Getting revenge was extremely satisfying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FantasticBeasts Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) It was OK I guess. Have seen better openers than that but it was fine. Not a lot happening but wasn't expecting otherwise anyway... Edited July 17, 2017 by FantasticBeasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel M Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It wasn't the best season premiere but it was fine and mostly table setting like most premieres are. Cersei counts her enemies, Dany arrives, Jon and Sansa have a power struggle with Baelish creeping in the corner, arya getting some more sweet sweet revenge. Everything in this episode is just "the day after" of all the awesome things that happened in last year's finale which is fine. Arya killing all the Freys was satisfying and the Cersei-Jamie-Euron exchange was fun but if anything makes the episode is the smaller moments. Like Sam's frantically edited routine at Oldtown, or the Hound making fun of Thoros man bun (basically the Hound doing or saying anything) and most of all the second Arya scene. The way it plays out I think it's one of the best scenes of the show where nothing happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Record viewership with 10.1m Last year's finale had 8.8m viewers. P.S. Am I the only one thinking that James will kill Cersei?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 But I am so so so so disappointed in how fucking ordinary they made Euron. He's basically a murder-happy frat bro with some loose marbles. Book Euron is legitimately scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Massive ratings in Australia. This year it was a regular work day plus there was no sport.

I liked Euron, we also only got one real scene with him (and his character was trying to make a particular impression). Given he's being played a little psychotically, I could see some of the book Euron coming out in a few scenes. I also liked Cersei and Jaime's interaction with him.
