Each episode has been a little better than the last -
Ep 1 - 8/10
Ep2 - 8/10 (but more like 8.5)
Ep 3 - 9/10
The meeting w/Dany and Jon, as well as the Starks finally beginning to reunite is cool to finally see. Love the action and the battle scenes. Kinda frustrating to see them not quite see eye to eye but it's to be expected considering they've been on opposite sides of the world for the majority of the story. It's obviously going to take some time for them to trust or respect eachother. Glad to see Jon refuse to bend the knee, proud of mah boy! Like, is 6 freakin kingdoms not eonugh for her? Just let Jon be king in the north, since he knows it far better than you do anyway, Dany!
And any episode w/ Euron = pure awesome in my book. I do appreciate - despite the fact that I want to see Dany wipe out Cersei and those goddamn Lanisters to take the throne - the fact that the show runners are making things look far more even (and maybe even giving an advantage to Cersei) by having two crushing defeats play out for Dany already. Makes it more exciting and realistic as opposed to simply having her annihilate everyone in one fell swoop with her dragons and armies. And seeing Cersei take out those annoying Sand Snakes was also a plus hehe, despite my hatred of Cersei. Olena's line of "I want her to know it was me" was too freaking cool. She is actually quite an underrated character and great actress so it's a bummer to see her go.
Only negatives for me really was the arch maester stuff dragged a bit, and no sighting of one of my favorite characters - The Hound.
