I had the honour of attending the first episode of the last season in Belfast. What an experience! You can clearly see that HBO has done everything in their power to make the season feel as grotesque as possible. The episode has everything a good Game of Thrones episode should contain: tension, shock, surprises, nudity and emotional moments. The episode is filled with beautiful and surprising reunions and feels much more cinematic. The pacing is fine and the fifty minutes feel like five minutes in the end. For me personally, this is the best season opener, closely followed by "Two Swords" and "The North Remembers". The episode also has an unexpected end, something to look forward to.
