WeissDirected by Alan TaylorKing Joffrey Baratheon celebrates his nameday in King's Landing by ordering his knights to fight to the death for his entertainment. Overall a long season opener that immediately brought me back into the story after a gap of almost two years.Written by David Benioff and D.B. As expected the cast are all on fine form and the effects are impressive. I know some people weren't keen with having singer Ed Sheeran appear as a Lannister soldier but it didn't bother me if I hadn't heard about his appearance before watching I doubt I'd have thought anything of it. Apart from the opening scene there is little in the way of violence even that involved poison rather than action that didn't bother me though as the more talky elements served to remind me of the various characters after some time away from the series. The tension between Sansa and Jon hints at possible problems to come and the meeting between Cersei and Euron Greyjoy suggests the possibility of an interesting alliance. It then proceeds to remind us what other characters are up to while setting things up for future episodes. I really enjoyed this episode it started well with Arya making it abundantly clear that she has lots of people to kill. Elsewhere Sam is trying to find a source of dragon glass and Daenerys finally returns to Westeros. Back in King's Landing Cersei, now the Queen, is seeking new allies for the coming fight against Daenerys's forces as well as against the Armies of the North and the Sand Sisters to the south. Meanwhile her brother Brandon reaches The Wall, warning of the approaching threat while their siblings Jon and Sansa disagree on how to proceed after the defeat on Ramsey Bolton and his forces. ![]() In the opening scene we see that Arya's revenge against the Freys didn't end with the killing of Walder. This episode largely serves to remind viewers where each of the protagonists are and where they hope to go.
