I didn't know what I was expecting, I admit I wasn't a fan of some changes but the episode felt more ASOIAF than GoT ever did. This is just my personal opinion but THIS is more like George's story than the main series. Fire & Blood was written like a history book so we didn't know the characters as we do with the main books but wow, the characters felt real and tangible. LOVE the acting, LOVE the expanding of characters without it feeling out of place. Bring on the next episode!
