Gets a solid 8 from me, 8.5 let's say (though I didn't round up to a 9 on this occasion). Great Oberyn intro, nice scenes with Jaime/Cersie/Olenna/Brienne at King's Landing. Stygg had a good introduction as well, there was a lot of exposition and introductions that's my main gripe really. It was the premiere though and thought they've never been amazing I's say this was the strongest opener since season 1. And the Joffrey statue! Lol. Something wrong with you leg boy? The Hound and Arya's tavern brawl was obviously the stand out moment here, loved it, the whole scene was spot on. But I notice the Hound isn't wounded like he was in the book, look's like they're going to continue the road trip a little longer than expected. Ser Dontos! At last, I doubt most watchers will have thought the scene anything but filler, they'll realise its importance shortly. Dany's scenes were meh, but it's good to see the dragons have grown larger and I like the new Daario better than the old one, more charismatic, less slimy, which is good cos I ain't a fan of the Dany/Daario storyline as it is. Great opener, sowed the seeds nicely for things to come, capped off with some kick ass revenge in its final moments.
