Winterfell

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.

I've been rewatching the series for the millionth time lol And I really believe this episode is highly underrated. There was were some fantastic scenes overall. Nothing grand like a battle but just a lot of solid scenes, storytelling, character interactions, raw emotion from the characters, shots, acting and reunions. I plead you to go back and when you rewatch the show and you'll appreciate some of these earlier episodes in season 8. Especially, "Winterfell". I'm one of the few people that didn't mind season 8 all that much but of course I expected more overall(mostly from that series finale). If that finale would've been perfect, I would've loved this season. But this episode does quite a lot for the viewer who has watched the series since the beginning. There's a great deal of satisfying interactions of characters we've grown to love and some pretty memorable scenes overall.

How people are giving this episode a rating of 9 or 10 is beyond me. It's bang average! Nothing special to see here, if anything it's just a warm up episode for what's to come.

Not something to start a final season with that to of much hyped series like "game of thrones". Waste of an episode out of only six. They could have made these reunions much better but it seemed even they just wanted to get through the reunions as quickly as possible. So It's down to next five episodes then..

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
