You have just expressed my thoughts ! I gave it a 9, because it was a great built-up episode that was needful for the upcoming events and put the characters in the right direction. And there was such good lines and great dialogues, I loved it ! Besides that, GRRM already had an action-packed episode last year so I'm glad he can develops the characters further this year. It feel just like the calm before the storm comes and I like it.
