I think this is the first GoT episode I feel I can skip and probably go right to the next episode without missing much. The beginning was a nice opener to get things going, and some of the slower moments were ok and immersive but the whole episode just kept staying slow and with very little payoff. It was a tease to a certain point..hopefully this will be the last of those.
There could have been just 12 episodes total between season 7 and 8 and I think it would have worked out better for the first episode of season 7.
I'm sure the next 5 will be great and this episode was just a starter to get things going but the spoilers and reveals would have done better rushed rather than sluggishly going along imho. It wouldn't have taken too long to cram all of that in the next (hopefully) entertaining episode.
