    First of all, why is season 6 rated lower than the rest of the seasons? ok... Fantastic first episode for season 7. It's to the point, pacing is much faster (although i wish GOT would last 10 seasons, it's not going to happen) Special effects are on par with what you'd see on the big screen, and the dialogue and acting is fantastic, of course.

    Excellent premiere. If this is what the rest of the season looks like, then we should be prepared for the best GoT season yet. The pacing is just right, the acting top-notch, the settings/cinematography is somehow even more stunning than usual, and unlike some other seasons, the stories that were focused on are well selected/relevant. Can't wait for the rest of it. I'll be updating myExcellent premiere. If this is what the rest of the season looks like, then we should be prepared for the best GoT season yet.

    Fantastic episode. They've clearly cut away as much as they could and have five main characters with clear directions. If the first episode of season 7 is an indication of the quality and tone for the rest of the season then it will be great.

    Amazing that this show stays so good. EP1 is a table setting episode but yet still epic and enthralling as any of the EP1's in previous seasons. The plot is now quite fast moving. The quality of the acting, sets and graphics is still tip top notch.

    Perhaps the best first episode since season four's "Two Swords". The dialogue has recaptured a lot that was lost in the last 2 seasons. The performances are great, mainly the big improvement in the performance by Pilou Asbæk as Euron Greyjoy. With Westeros looking smaller than ever, the stories have already started to collide in magnificent ways thanks to the winter, a time for wolves.

    The end is near. This season starts at a brisk pace, and never lets down for the entirety of its run. The sequences are gorgeous, and there are no filler scenes. With only 12 episodes left for the show I cannot wait to see what happens and I am eagerly waiting for each sunday night!

    The crisp editing of the Arya sequence, exploiting dramatic irony right up to the breaking point, was one among numerous scenes that seemed to indicate Thrones isn't just keeping up to its old standards but actually learning new tricks. Another was the introduction of Samwell Tarly's life in Old Town--who knew this show, which has mastered wartime action but had never produced a quickfire sequence quite like this one, with its repetitive chamber pots to be emptied, could be quite this sharp?

    As per every premiere episode of Game of Thrones, the pace is slow. Setting up each new carefully constructed season--the complex weave of story lines, the huge cast, the breathtaking locations--takes time. But Benioff and Weiss have pulled it off once again, if not with a bit more humor than in previous seasons.

    Scenes in the middle of the show with Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) cleaning bedpans and serving soup at the Citadel dragged. ... The show thrills when concentrating on its formidable female characters.
