A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Boy did this deliver. I liked the premiere 'Winterfell', but this is on an entirely different level. I laughed, I got chills, I cried. I won't spoil anything, but the writing in this is incredible. Even though I love Game of Thrones (also the later seasons), I never thought I'd say that about a season 8 episode. Sure, the writing last episode was good, but this is seriously season 3 - 4 levels of writing. Beats 'Kissed by Fire' as my favorite build-up episode. I think that when all is said and done and people rewatch the entire show, this will be one of the best episodes. It just flows so well and perfectly prepares us for the biggest battle we're ever going to see. I'm gonna miss Game of Thrones so much, let's enjoy it while it lasts.

This episode seemed like it was written specifically for watchers like me - those of us who are impressed by dragon riding and huge battles, but haven't always connected to those scenes in the same way we've connected with smaller character moments.

I can see how people may have been a bit annoyed with the previous episode, it's lacking dialogue and overall ''filler'' feel.

If that is true- then this episode was a huge step up. If last episode was all the ''reuniting'' of many characters we were waiting for- then this episode was the reuniting with great dialogue that we were waiting for. Disclosure- those that expected the battle to happen in this episode are probably the ones still disappointed.

It still turned to be out to be one of the most satisfying, intense and emotional episodes in the entire series: We got tense interactions, humorous interactions all complete with great dialogue between the characters we've come to love. All woven together scene after scene perfectly, without fail.

Though, it's bittersweet because it feels like this may have been the last farewell to some of the characters before next episodes events, it has been quite the ride.

It even tied in a great vocal/song overlaying the last few scenes. I was reminded of Pippin's song in Lord Of The Rings. The perfect prelude to a great battle to come.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that it hearkened back to the some of the best interactions/ dialogue we saw in earlier seasons.

To conclude, GoT still delivers in it's last season and the best is likely still to come!

This is an intelligent episode. Brilliant writing, directing, acting, cinematography. The main theme is memory. What and when to forgive, and what to remember. "Never forget who you are!" All characters remember who they were, and what they've become, before death arrives. It is also a farewell episode. We will lose them all this season. "We never want them to leave" but they all will. Valar Morgulis! But we will remember ! Fans will remember!

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is an important episode, with reconciliations of old enemies; realization of Brienne of Tarth, now a knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Arya Stark, now a woman; and discovery of Jon Snow that now knows who he is. The episode is also a preparation for the next one that may be the best episode of the whole series and certainly the farewell of several characters. Looking forward to become true. My vote is eight.
