Was a classic opening episode to a thrones season... minus the Greyjoy crap, seriously who cares about the iron islands, Theon, etc..

I refuse to do any critical analysis of this season.

But even if I did, that was an amazing episode. I loved every single minute of it.

That was really, really good. Lots of fantastic scenes right off the bat.

Crave is really horrible. I decided this year to do things legit and get the proper service to watch GoT rather than acquiring it by other means.

- Apple TV app only parts in stereo and the quality looks to be 1080P it doesn't look like it
- Telus On-Demand plays in "surround sound" but the quality is also very poor

I took a look at the quality of the episode acquired by other means and it's amazing - on par with a Netflix or Prime show streaming at the highest rate at 1080P.

Is Crave just that bad? Are there any other ways of watching HBO shows at a quality level that is equal with other subscription based services?

Great episode with nice reunions and earth shattering news. Kinda disappointed that I didn't claim a victim in my GoT Death Pool.

Seems like the first scene was highlight the face that the northern alliance has collected legitimate challengers for 6 of the 8 main houses,

Targaryen - Daenerys / John
Stark - Sansa
Lannister - Tyrion
Arryn - Arya
Tully - Sam
Baratheon - Gendry

Could it be this season they;
-figure out Gendry is Roberts true son,
-have the nearest claimants to the Tyrell and Martell houses join up with our rag tag bunch of misfits.

Then of course they can defeat the white walkers, defeat Cersei, and install a legitimate claimant on all of the seats of power, setting things to the way they were 30 years ago.

It's actually a pretty honest representation of how most of these things end in real life. Power re-entrenches itself just as it was before with a fresh face.

Screw all that. If this doesn't end in white walker victory I'll disappointed. I want the final scene to be the Night King completely ignoring the iron throne that so many others obsessed over.

Which has amused me as well. Don't all those TV people know that they could be spoiling it for the 'book people' now? Where's the "ZOMG! Don't talk about a 20yo book! It might spoil me!" crowd now? All these mean TV people could be spoiling my books! ;p

Arya has no claim to House Arryn. Their creepy cousin does, but there's no direct connections to the Starks. I'm not sure if the Armies of the Vale are still at Winterfell or if they went home after the Battle of the Bastards.


Sam is from House Tarly, not Tully. The Tullys are Cat's family in the Riverlands. As far as we know, Cat's brother is still alive, as is his son (if they were dead, Arya could potentially make a claim at the Riverlands as Cat's daughter).

Because the Tyrell's have been completely wiped out and Sam is now the rightful heir to House Tarly (assuming he's no longer sworn to the Night's Watch or the Citadel), he could have the best claim to be the Lord of the Reach.

Davos and Melisandre do. She used Gendry's "king's blood" in her magic and Davos knows that she used his blood and why.
