They've already spent a ton of time establishing the Maesters at the Citadel are smart but close minded, full of themselves and not open to new ideas and it is no surprise Sam found a cure given the resources.
I thought the Euron battle was great. Eleria is a logical gift since she murdered Myrcella.
Arya in the pub was great. She's like a grizzled war vet. The fact Nymeria recognized it was her but didn't want to join her was interesting. Because Arya has changed so much? Because she didn't keep loyalty and pushed her away back in S1?
What's Jorah gonna get up to? Will Sam get kicked out of the Citadel for being a free thinker and they'll meet up with Jon and Dany?
How will Dany take the Seven Kingdoms without spilling blood? What's she gonna do without the fleet sailing to King's Landing?

To be fair I thought the recounting of the Mad King and bits of history between the houses as well as the dragon skulls scene were riveting. There were highlights for sure. The war council in Dragonstone and Winterfell were interesting to see the dynamic/clashing between characters we're used to seeing apart from one another. Even if Sansa's whining/protesting annoys me greatly (ever since S1...)
