THERE IS NO SPOILER GRACE PERIOD ON THIS THREAD. DO NOT READ ON IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE



Thoughts about today's episode? Bit of a nothing ep as usual to start the season.

I mean, nothing much really happened but the amount of reunions in today's episode make me so happy, but obviously all of this isn't gonna last long.

Also, can I just point out how there are so many parallels between today's episode and the first episode of Season 1? Like, the Starks all waiting in Winterfell for Daenerys and Jon just like how all the Starks wait for Robert and the Lannisters and then we see Jaime being emotionally crippled when he sees Bran vs when Jaime physically crippled in the first episode. (Or maybe I'm overthinking everything lol). But I still think Jaime as the prophesied Azor Ahai would be the perfect form of character development. 

And let's not forget how much of a cinnamon roll Sam is.

Bit of a slow ep as all first episodes of a season are but they did a good job of setting things up. Enjoyed the Umber castle scene - back to the ol' creepy messages the white walkers are leaving, because we've strayed away from that recently.

Super excited for next week, based on the trailer (though it'll probably be another set up ep I imagine). I've been deprived of GoT for too long.

Beyond what's been said here already (100x endorse), I was really struck by how little emotional connection I felt with the characters. It's been so long that a lot of my focus now is on what will happen, so when all the big reunions happen I just didn't feel it like I thought I would? I dunno if that makes sense?

Lmao of course Bran made Sam go tell Jon* about his parents. Last time Bran discovered a bit of incest he got shoved out a window

Damn, this didn't go down as well as I was hoping. I've only ever watched the first couple of episodes of the first season, and Ned Stark is my default go-to when GoT comes up haha. How did he make a cameo if dead?

In GoT, nothing ever goes well.

Yeah, I've been waiting so long for the Jon/Arya reunion that it wasn't particularly emotional...like when Jon and Sansa had their reunion I really felt that and thought it was really well done but just didn't get the same from Jon and Arya which is disappointing because it was one of the reunions I've been most keen for.

I feel like most of the characters have received a typical 'last scene'. It's going to make next week's deaths harder to predict. Ow ow owie

Shout out to Ghost who just magically appeared in Winterfell even though we haven't seen him in the past 2-3 seasons.

I'm also still trying to process that Arya and Gendry scene.
