Seeing some of these reviews almost makes me want to just never read any reviews ever again. To all the people saying this was boring and too slow, please stop watching tv shows if you are not gonna pay attention to them. So many good things in this episode: * So much tension created with quotes and even with simple glances. * Reunions that we have wanted for such long time. (It really has that vibe of the very first episode) * Amazing score with breathtaking visuals and a very nice tone overall, feels like a very well done setup. * And the last point, this is NOT a slow episode AT ALL. They have crammed into basically 49 minutes of runtime: Jon and Daenerys arriving at Winterfell, Arya reuniting fully with the family, the people in the north seeing the dragons, intriguing plans and dialogue from each "camp", Jaime arriving at Winterfell, JON RIDING THE DRAGON, Jon FINDING OUT the truth about him, seeing what happened to the people near the wall. I am actually very surprised they did all of this in one episode, while I was expecting some of them to be scattered in the first 3. People act like they lost a lot of time while there are still OVER 6 HOURS with the base being already set. I am honestly sick of people thinking an episode without explosions or mindless action slow, and this comes from a guy that loves a good, entertaining action movie/show.
